Lawrence Employees Reward Citizens Who Work For Community Y/elfare OGDENSBURG, Sept. 29 — In a unique move to reward citizens who work for the public good, the St. Lawrence Chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association has given awards to five North Country residents. The awards were presented on September 18 by Mrs. Janet Murnen, widow of one of the recipients, Dr. Owen P. Murnen, former president of the Ogdensburg Board of Educa- tion. I Others Honored Other persons to be honored with awards at the dinner were Nina W. Smithers, St. Lawrence County historian; former Surro- gate Ceylon G. Chaney; Edward J. Cahill, executive secretary of the St. Lawrence Chapter of the National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis, and Edward John Noble. In its resolution granting the posthumous award to Dr. Mur- nen, the chapter cited especially "his contribution to the public school system of the city of Og- densburg in particular and to the people of the city of Ogdens- burg in general for making his community a better place to live and . . . his untiring effort to im- prove the condition of the em- ployees of the public school sys- tems of the city of Ogdensburg." Noble was cited for making possible the building of three hospitals in Northern New York, while Cahill was cited for his long years of service with the National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis. Learned Surrogate The chapter lauded Judge Chaney for rising "from the ranks of an obscure sxu-rogate in a rural county of the state of New York to become generally recog- nized as one of the most learned surrogates. If not the most learn- ed of his time in the state . . . Mrs. Smithers was cited parti- cularly for her work in connec- tion with the county sesqulcen- tennial celebrations held last Summer. In a resolution distributed to tUe press, but not read at the din- ner, the chapter also renewed Its request that civil service employ- ees be granted automatic salary Increments of $100 after five, 10, 15 and 20 years of service. Increased Leave The chapter also asked that all employeees of the county and its political subdivisions be granted sick leave and vacation benefits equivalent to those granted state employees, and that a medical and hospital insurance plan whereby the employer pays half the cost be set up for all employees. The chapter asked also that all political sub-divisions of the county that have not already done so, make provision for their employees to join the state retire- ment system. 10% Increase on Gross Pay To Be Sought by CSEA in Negotiations With State ALBANY, Sept. 29—The Civil posal will also go before the dele- Westchester Employees Lash Barrington 'Errors' WHITE PLAINS. Sept. 29—In a scorching attack upon errors in a Westchester pay study conducted by Barrington & Associates, that firm is accused of making out-and- out mistakes of serious proportion. Anne H. McCabe, president of the Westchester County Competi- tive Civil Service Association, pointed to specific mistakes. Cites Errors "The first page of their General Statement states the salary for Group I has increased 77% In six years, the next page says the in- crease is 77% in eight years, page three says 77% in six years. The Increase referred to is actually only 37% in six years. This Is a harmful error to repeat and repeat. The front page says the cost of living has increased 47% in six years, page three says It Is 42% in six years. The second page says Group XIV has increased 43% years, page three says 43% ears. igton complains on the Service Employees Association facts and figures indicate that a minimum of 10 percent increase on gross State salary is required to meet living costs and present-day standards of living. The organiza- tion's Board of Directors, meeting In Albany last Thursday night, voted to direct its negotiators that at least this amount will be asked of the State administration. It is expected that negotiations will be undertaken with Budget Director T. Norman Hurd before the Legis- lature gets its annual message and recommendations from the Gover- nor. The 10 percent increase pro- gates of the Association meeting in their annual meeting in Albany October 13-15. Three Factow I>escribed The decision to seek a minimum 10 percent increase came after a report by Davis Shultes, chairman of the group's Salary Committee, In which the many factors refiect- ing on salary were described. Mr. Shultes pointed out that the 10 percent includes three factors: a fesidue for what was "not gotten" last year; a sum to cover actual increases in living costs; and recog- nitlQn of a rising standard of liv- ing, which Mr. Shultes referred to as "national efficiency." He pointed out that in private industry tSm element of higher living standardi is becoming Increasingly recog- nized in salary negotiations, and that a survey would show Stat* employees falling behind private- industry employees in this aspect* Mr. Shultes stated that the cost- of-living index stands at 190.8, Ml increase of mbre than 40 pointa since 1940. He pointed out that ft consistent lag has been felt ht State salaries. It was made clear at the BoarA meeting that if the cost-of-llvinf index shoxild continue to rise. tlM Association's negotiators woul4 consider that fact in their con- ferences with the Budget DirectoK. third page, of the Association's not having included $30 of Emergency Compensation in a release showing the proposed new pay scales, al- though Barrington concedes that this fact is plainly stated In the release. However, Barrington has failed In this document and in Its Community Survey, to Include E.C. of $210, $250 and $550 in scales they have used, which result In percentages of salary increases being greatly exaggerated and in comparable pay levels being greatly understated." Good. Bad, Indifferent Miss McCabe pointedly added: "The Barrington document appears to have been prepared In the belief that all that was necessary was to ma.ke any arguments at all to re- but the Association's careful pres- entation. and whether these were good, bad or indifferent, they would be accepted as fact by the Board of Supervisors."

The Committee hopes to have 400 members by January 1. Court Says Error on Eligible List Can Be Corrected,E-ven If Appointment Is Cancelled ALBANY, Sept. 29—The State Civil Service Commission has been upheld in Its right to change an eligible list where a clerical error has been discovered, even though such change means cancellation of an appointment. In a decision handed down In Troy last week. State Supreme Court Justice Herbert Hamm de- nied the application of Philip A. Wexler for an order against the CSC preventing that body from rescinding his appointment in the Department of Public Service. What had happened was this: In an eligible list for principal case analyst, established May 28, the fifth, sixth and seventh per- sons named and their scores were Wexler, 88.87; Leon C. Reyna, 88.74, and Edward L. Block, 85.08. Wexler was certified eligible for appointment on May 29, and was appointed on June 16. Error in Computation Thereafter it was discovered that a mistake in computation had been made In the earned ratings of Block and Reyna and the standings should have been Block, 92.78, fifth; Reyna, 89.34. sixth, and Wexler. 88.87, seventh. In the proceeding before Hamm, Block appeared by consent of all concerned as an Intervener. It was agreed that had the error not oc- curred the names of both Block and Reyna would have appear^ above Wexler's on the eligible Bal and that Wexler in that caaa would not have been reached fat appointment on June 16. What was disputed was ths right of the Commission, once tta« list had been certified and tm appointment made, to change th* list and rescind an appointment* It was argued by Wexler's attor- neys that this would undermlna the stability of civil service ap- pointments. In his memorandum accom- panying the decision. Judge Hamm followed an earlier deci- sion by Judge Pound In defining the scope of the Civil ServlM Commission power to act. found that the Commission had not been guilty of an error if Judgement or discretion. Th> error here was purely mInisteriaL "The action of the employes or clerks In committing ministerial errors defeated the judgement of the Commission In determlnlnc relative weights to be attached the test and In evaluating tha answers given and frustrated tha mandate to enter names of eligi- ble persons "In the order of thefcf final earned ratings on examina- tions." The errors were in a vital mat" ter, he said. Unless the decision Is appealed the appointment will go to Ms. Block.

Pension Survey Indicates W i d e Employee Divis ion on Social Security Integrat ion'

Some public employee organiza- i S ta te Constitution makes public t ions are split on the advisability of integrating public employee pension systems with the Federal Social Security System, a survey conducted by The LEADER re-veals.

One fear expressed is the possi-bility t ha t once there has been an entering wedge for the Federal government, the U. S. might ult i-mately absorb all the public em-ployee pension systems, which h p e much higher ret irement al-Icwances and much lower ret ire-ment ages t han 65. The maximum pr imary benefit for a single in-dividual under Social Security is $960 a year.

What Advocates Say Proponents of integration point

out t ha t the object is to aid the public employees by permitt ing them to have Social Security benefits in additioi), "to those pro-vided by public employee pension funds. Thus up to $960 would be added to whatever ret irement al-lowance they'd be entitled to. as Is done under many labor union contracts with employers in pri-vate Industry. Another recurrent argument In favor of Social Se-curity for public employees is t h a t It would be protection for those who now are under neither a re-t i rement system nor Social Se-curity.

Point Made by Opponents A provision of the New York

employee pension benefits con-tractual and states t h a t those benefits may not be Impaired or diminished. The contractual pro-vision protects present employees, but laws may be amended, so t ha t fu tu re employees get different benefits, or come under a differ-ent* system. The point is made by opponents of integration t h a t some public executives show an Interest in eliminating the pension "burden" f rom the budget, and see an opportunity in final ab-sorption by the Federal Govern-ment, of present public employee retirement systems in States and local communities.

The whole topic is headed for an all-out debate In Congress, as bills to permit integration will be pushed.

In New York State, a committee has been set up by Comptroller J. Raymond McGovern to explore the entire subject and Investigate the possibillities of Social Secvirity. The committee has met once and plans to delve deeply into the sub-ject. The committee will examine the effect of measures now before Congress, explore t h e , I m -pact and cost, and determine whether they would conform to the New York State pa t te rn of sound ret irement policy.

Indicative of the wide diver-gence of views are the present at t i tudes of employee organiza-

CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION, in a proposed resolution a t Its lorthcoming meeting: "Resolved, t h a t the Association urge prompt action to Improve State ret i rement allow-ances by the Integration of Fed-eral social security benefits in or-der to provide adequate superan-nuation allowances for public em-ployees of the State and its sub-divisions."

RAYMOND E. DIANA, execu-tive secretary, GoTernment and Civic Employees Organizing Com-mittee, CIO: "The CIO is strong-ly in favor of Integration because of the need for higher pensions. There should be no fear t ha t the Federal government ultimately would take over completely, a f te r Integration becomes a fact , be-cause the public employee pen-sion funds ' assets would remain where they are, and the U.

In addi-tion to present coverage, is t empt -ing to many public employeees, and there may be something to be said in its favor, but when one realizes what 's going on through-out the country, one appreciates the danger to present public em-ployee pension funds t h a t lurks in the proposal. Some States al-ready have made first moves to-ward having Social Security take over their pension systems. As the financial problems of States and local governments increase, officials of those governments will be more and more tempted to get rid of the burden t h a t the pension systems impose on their budgets. The problem will have to be thoroughly analyzed, the member-ship Informed of all the facts, and polled, before any strong stand could be taken."

GILBERT X. BYRNE, presi-dent, Uniformed Fire Officers Association, NYC: "The officers of the NYC Fire Depar tment don't want any part of Social Security. They have a fine pension system now and wouldn't swap. They won't even hear of changing or being connected with any other plan. We who can retire a f te r 20 years' service want no par t of a plan t h a t provides for ret i rement benefits s tar t ing a t age 65, even if the proposal comes in the guise of an additional benefit. Our pen-sions are higher now, our ret ire-ment not dependent on at taining any part icular age, and we won't be sold down the river by any a r -guments of heaping one benefit atop another, or getting better insurance and survivor benefits through Social Security.

JOHN E. CARTON, president. Police Conference; president, NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association: "Our position hasn ' t changed. We have been unal ter -ably opposing integration of So-cial Security with police pension systems for more than a decade. Such integration would tend to break down the morale of the po-lice throughout the entire State. The benefits under Social Secur-

Two Experts Hired to Study Complex Tax

ALBANY, Sept. 29 — Two ex-perts in the fields of social se-curi ty and workmen's compensa-tion have been approved for em-ployment by the s ta te to conduct studies in their respective special-ties.

The Sta te Civil Service Com-mission approved a contract be-tween H. Eliot Kaplan, former Deputy Comptroller in Charge of the Retirement System, and the Depar tment of Audit and Control.

Under this agreement Kaplan, now an at torney in private prac-tice, will use his own staff and facilities in connection with re-search and studies relating to social security mat ters for the Comptroller's committee exploring tha t subject.

His compensation will be $100 per day not to-exceed $8,000 an -nually plus $2,000 expenses.

Workmen's Compensation At the same time the CSC ap-

proved the hiring by Workmen's Compensation Board of Marshall Dawson, recently retired f rom the U. S. Labor Depar tment where for 18 years he had been a specialist in t ha t field.

Dawson will study the New York State compensation system with an eye toward improvement and a t the same time reduction of litigation In connection with claims. His retainer will be $800 per month until the close of the current fiscal year, with a proba-ble renewal at t h a t time.

Ity are so small, compared to those under police pension systems of the S ta te and local governments within the State, and the mini-mum retirement age is so high, t ha t we don't want any pa r t of Social Security. We oppose adding Social Security benefits to pres-ent benefits because of the dan-ger t ha t any connection with So-cial Security holds for the police. As for integration, Federal em-ployees don't want it, the armed forces don't want it, the members of- the Railroad Retirement Sys-tem don' t want it, and we don't want it, or any par t of It. I feel t ha t those groups which are re-ceptive to integration with public employee ret irement systems are doing a grave injustice to fu ture en t ran ts into civil service. In the event of ha rd times, municipali-ties will seek to unload their pen-sion obligations on the Federal Government."

HOWARD P. BAKRY, president. Uniformed Firemen's Association, NYC: "The UFA is now and al-ways has been against integration, because it wants no par t of any system tha t offers such a low s tandard of ret i rement Income as to make It almost useless to re-tire. and then prohibits any one f rom earning more t h a n $75 a month in ret irement, otherwise pension forfei ture results. No greater th rea t to the ul t imate in-tegrity of public employee pension systems could be imagined than to pass any law tha t would asso-ciate such systems in any way with the Federal Security Ad-ministrat ion program, which offers not security but inseciirity, not only because of the miserable smallness of its pensions, but also because of the underlying philo-sophy of bringing the most suc-cessful down to the pension level of the least successful, and creat -ing a mass pension pool in which all but the poorest paid must settle for less."

10-Point Proposal Aim^s at Softening DPU l Job Layoffs

ALBANY, Sept. 29—The State Civil Service Commission lias ap-proved three trainee titles for the Division of Placement and Unem-ployment Insurance of the State Labor Department.

In actioLi completed at its last session the Commission okayed establishment of titles of payroll examiner trainee, employment in-terviewer trainee and claims ex-aminer trainee.

The jobs would be filled from College Series exams in the ac-countancy fields and the grade pro-posed for these entrance level jobs Is G-10.

Budg^et Approval Awaited Budget approval of the Commis-

sion action has not yet been an-nounced.

The proposals for the trainee titles have been under considera-tion and discussion for more than six months. When first proposed they covered two titles, payroll examiner trainee and employment security trainee, and as such were explained in issues of Ttae LEADER last spring.

What The Commission Did What the CSC approved at its

recent meeting with regard to em-ployment security trainee was:

1. The job title should actually be two titles to denote in which particular section the trainee would be employed. ' In this regard the titles of employment interviewer and claims examiner trainee were approved.

2. Appointment would be from the college series at G-10 level with a six months' probationary period.

3. Following one year of satisfac-

tory service the trainee would be promoted without fur ther written exam to the title of assistant claims examiner, G-12, or employment in-terviewer, now G-11 but proposed for G-12.

Assr^ant Interviewer Abolished 4. Present G-6 titles of assistant

interviewer would be abolished and replaced by the title senior unem-ployment insurance claims clerk, also at G-6,

5. To protect those hundreds of sissistant interviewers now em-ployed, a final promotion exam for the title of assistant claims ex-aminer would be conducted for them. From then on, vacancies in the new senior UI claims clerk title could be filled by promotion from clerical jobs below.

Payroll Examiner Titles With regard to the establishment

of the payroll examiner trainee title, the Commission decided:

1. Appointment with six months' probation.

2. Promotion af ter one year satisfactory service to title of pay-roll examiner. G-12.

3. Abolishment, as individual jobs become vacant through pro-motion, resignation or retirement, of the present title of senior pay-roll examiner.

4. Use of current principal pay-roll examiner promotion lists to fill a new title of associate payroll examiner, if and when established, at or about G-17.

5. Remaining associate payroll examiner vacancies will then be filled by promotion exams open to present senior payroTl examiners.

ALBANY, Sept. 29 — A proposed plan to establish new (and lower-grade) trainee positions in the Divisions of Placement and Un-employment Insurance has been challenged by the Civil Service Employees Association. The plan is weak in a number of respects, the Association argues, and places emphasis on recruitment rather than on solving the pressing prob-lem of layoffs in the agency. The Association also discovered a

hidden downgrading" in the plan. CSEA President Jesse B. Mc-

Farland said: Wasteful Procesa

"I t is time the Federal govern-ment and the State of New York arrived at some equitable solution of this troublesome problem. I t certainly seems tha t within the past decade, enough experience should have been gained relative to fluctuating case loads to establish an organization within the DPUI which would not be subject to these violent tidal waves of layoff and unemployment. The large turnover of employees which occurs with too great regularity is not only disturbing to the people involved, but also unduly costly to the taxpayer. I t seems tha t no sooner is a man trained for his job than a restriction of funds causes him to be laid oft. I t costs money to train civil service em-ployees, and it is wasteful to have this process continue."

Association Position A letter was addressed to the

Civil Service Commission by John J. Kelly, Jr., Assistant Counsel of the Civil Service Employees Asso-ciation, stating the Association's position:

"We understand tha t the Comf-mission will have presented to it at its September meeting for its consideration certain phases of the proposed Employment Secur-ity Trainee program of the DPUI.

"As we understand it, the plan will operate generally as follows. New positions of Employment Se-curity I 'rainee (or similar titles) would be established in Grade G-10. Such position would be es-tablished only in place of vacan-cies in the positions of Employ-ment Interviewer and Assistant Claims Examiner. An individual appointed to the trainee position would serve for a year and then be eligible without fur ther exami-nation for appointment to Assist-ant Claims Examiner or Employ-ment Interviewer. The position of Employment Interviewer, now in G-11, would be reallocated to G-12 as par t of the plan. Incum-bents of the position of Employ-ment Interviewer, G-6, would have an opportunity to take one pro-motion examination for appoint-ment to the position of Assistant Claims Examiner. Those indivi-duals who did not obtain appoint-ment to Assistant Claims Exami-ner via the promotion examination would have their titles changed from Assistant Interviewer to clerical title in the senior level, I.e. G-6.

Damper on Recruitment "The Association's Special DPUI

Committee is opposed to the ini-tiation of the trainee program One factor tha t was neglected In the outline of the plan above is the fact tha t recruitment to the trainee positions would be by examination similar to the exist-ing college series as well as the present open competitive qualifi-cations. Proponents argued tha t the broadened eligibility would be a spur to recruitment. The Asso-ciation feels tha t rather than spurring recrultm<ent. the estab-lishment of the entrance grade a t

a lower level will operate as a damper on recruitment. Moreover, the emphasis and energy of the DPUI at the present time should be directed more strongly toward retention rather than possible fu -ture recruitment for positions in which there is not the surplus of qualified employees. The Associa-tion also opposes the plan on the ground tha t it contains a hidden downgrading for fu ture Assistant Claims Examiners. Although the grade remains G-12, future in-cumbents will be one year behind so fa r as the increments are con-cerned, until af ter they shall have reached their maximum. During the first year, they will in fact be two grades lower.

"We realize tha t the Commis-sion will probably not be con-cerned with the above factors since we would expect tha t this decision would have to do with examinations for the proposal in the event it was approved by other agencies having jurisdiction, and with whether or not a promotion examination would be held from the position of Assistant In ter -viewer for present incumbents in tha t position. While the Associa-tion is opposed to the entire plan in its present form, our opposi-tion would be even stronger if any of the essential elements were eliminated and the other por-tions of the plan approved. For this reason, we wish to emphasize to the Commission the desirability of a so-called "one shot" promo-tion examination f rom Assistant Interviewer to Assistant Claims Examiner in the event the entire plan becomes effective. We feel tha t such a promotion examina-tion is only right and proper. Most of the persons who are now Assistant Interviewers came into

the title assuming tha t this was the entrance to a promotion career in State service. Subsequent de-velopments have indicated tha t this title is not only the beginning but the end of a promotion career since at the present time there is no promotion step from an Assist-ant Interviewer. Since t h e title of the position is to be abolished, and since all those concerned with the matter have in the past ad -mitted tha t it is at least a close question as to whether or not the promotion exam should be held, we feel it only fair to give the incumbents of this position an op-portunity for promotion before losing their title.

Fortified by Authority "In our opinion this is an area

in which the Commission is well fortified by authority for holding either a promotion or open com-petitive examination. Within the past two years, the Commission's decision to hold an open competi-tive examination was upheld by the courts chiefly on the basis, as we recall it, tha t the Commission was not arbitrary on deciding to hold an open competitive exami-nation. A year previous to t h a t the Commission had decided to hold a promotion examination to Assistant Claims Examiner. This was also challenged in the courts and your discretion in this direc-tion was upheld. Recognizing the fact tha t the question is at least close, it seems to us tha t these two decisions also represent a recognition of tha t fact by the courts, and tha t the inevitable results of these decisions is t ha t the Commission has full discretion in the determination of whether or not to hold a promotion exam to.Claims Examiner f rom Assist-ant Interviewer."

Employees Implore State To Keep Police Chief Job In Schenectady Competitive

ALBANY, Sept. 29—The State Civil Service Commission reserved decision af ter holding a hearing on the application of the Schenectady Civil Service Commission to have the position of Police Commission-er, now In the competitive class, put In the unclassified service.

The switch would maKe the job appointive. As it stands, the job would have to be filled through competitive examination. It is now held by Joseph Foley, under the title of Police Commissioner, and was formerly held by Joseph A. Peters under the competitive title of Chief of Police. After Mr. Peters retired, Mr. Foley was appointed.

Two Commissions Present The full State Commission con-

ducted the hearing. The State Commissioners are Chairman J . Edward Conway, Louise C. Gerry and Alexander A. Falk. The entire Schenectady Commission was present — Chairman Richard A, Rowlands, Arthur Wright and Thomas Graham, as well as the Commission secretary, Charles Fisher. Charles Ward Brown rep-resented Morris Marshall Cohen, City Manager, while Kelsey K. Meade, Deputy County Attorney, appeared for the Schenectady Commission.

Appearing with others in opposi-tion to the application was John E. Holt-Harris, Jr., representing William F. Brandt. Deputy Chief of Police, who would be entitled to compete for the top police job if a competitive exam were held. Mi*. Holt-Harris is a member of the law firm of DeGraff, Foy, Conway and Holt-Harris, attorneys for Mr. Brandt. The others Included Jere-miah Hinden, amicus curiae, for the American Legion, and Captain Charles McGarvey of the State Police Benevolent Association. Peter Keresman, secretary. Police Conference of the State of New York, sent a letter in opposition to the Schenectady Commission's re-quest.

The application by the Schenec-tady Commission was made under Section 9 of the Civil Service Law, on the ground tha t the position was tha t of the head bf a depart-ment and thus properly in the un-classified service.

Holt-Harris ' Argument Mr. Holt-Harris argued tha t the

Schenectady Commission's appli-cation was nothing more than a subterfuge to confer upon Mr. Foley eligibility tha t he would otherwise lack. Mr. Foley Is serv-ing provisionally as Police Com-missioner. Mr. Holt-Harris said tha t Mr. Foley never held a posi-tion in the Police Department higher than tha t of detective ser-geant, and had previously been re-tired from tha t department for dis-ability. Mr. Holt-Harris added tha t Mr. Foley would be disqualified be-cause of his disability alone. The Schenectady Commission had made informal inquiries at the State Commission concerning Mr, Foley's exam eligibility, and, it is re-ported, the answer was "No."

Thereupon the Schenectady COm^ mission took no fur ther steps to^ ward holding an exam.

The Schenectady Common Coun-« cil, Mr. Holt-Harris related, abol-ished the position of Chief of Police and established instead the title of Police Commissioner^ whereupon Mr. Foley was aj?-pointed to the new title.

No P.D.? One of the questions raised a t

the hearing Is whether Schenec-tady has a Police Department a t all. I t has policemen and police officers, and prior to 1937 it had a Police Department listed in the City Charter.

Next came a Police Department headed by the Commissioner of Public Safety under Section 130 of the Second Class Cities Law. Then Schenectady switched to t h e City Manager plan and the office of Commissioner of Public Safety was abolished by local law. All the powers and duties were speci-fically conferred on the City. Manager.

So Mr. Holt-Harris argued tha t the position as head of a non-existent department cannot be pu t in the unclassified service, and even if a Police Department doea exist as a matter of law, neither a Police Commissioner nor a Chief of Police would be the head of t h a t department. The City Manager would, as successor to the Commis-sioner of Public Safety.

How It Began The case came up originally Iri

the Supreme Court in Saratoga County. John T. DeGraff brought a proceeding on behalf of Mr^ Brandt, under Article 78 of t he Civil Practice Art, to forestall any possible switching of the job to the unclassified service. Justice Daniel Imrie refused to decide the issue until the Schenectady Com-mission applied to the State Com-mission to put the position in the unclassified service. The hearing just held by the State Commission was on tha t application.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1952

Reprisal for Organizing? Reports are arriving in burgeoning number that, in

certain local governments in New York State, public etnployees are being faced with reprisal and recrimination —including threat of dismissal and actual dismissal—for daring to participate in employee organizational activity.

The feudal viewpoint, regretfully; still remains. The psychology of the whip and the tyrant-boss still pervades the little minds who have never grown accustomed to living in 1952, or even in the twentieth century.

Let these pettifogers know, then: the forward move-ment of employee organization cannot be halted or turned aside. They may temporarily succeed in intimidating an employee here and causing a hardship there. But the wave of organization for public employees cannot be suppressed. The necessity has been obvious; where employees are •well organized, not only are their working conditions better, but government itself is improved.

There is no law that forbids organization; indeed, the law, where it speaks at all, is in the other direction. Governor Dewey's executive order on personnel relations Rpecifically cites the right of State employees to join any organization of their own choosing. Presidential executive orders make the same affirmation. That right inheres no less in the employees of counties, cities, towns and other units of government.

Local public officials will have to be persuaded that they cannot, dare not, must not, try to hold back organiza-tion of public employees.

Question, Please a / # \ A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A 4 -

I AM A VETERAN who was em-ployed in the post ofBce, but I was let out in a reduct ion in force. I was on the 1949 clerk-carr ier list, which was superseded by the 1951 list. But now I see t h a t u n -der the conversion plan, whereby present employees can become pe rmanen t , the 1949 list to t he ex ten t conversion is practical , is revived. Quest ion: Since I did not resign, can I not benefit by some rul ing t h a t gives consideration to " r i f fed" employees, to put t hem Jn the same class as present em-ployees, who also would not be wha t they are, had they been "r if led"?—L. P.

Answer — The conversion to p e r m a n e n t s ta tus applies only to present employees and, so f a r , t he re have been no exception and none appears in prospect. You do no t s ta te in which post office you worked, but it could scarcely have been in the Metropol i tan District . You do make a point, and it r ep -resents one of the results of hav -ing to draw the line somewhere. T h e line is definitely d r awn against non-presen t employees, even if they were former employ-065 of the post office.

I WAS on the 1949 clerk-carr ier Bst. I was appointed a post office clerk, a l though not f rom the reg-ister. Finally I obtained " inde-finite" appoin tment s tanding, so •hould be enti t led, I th ink, to be made permanen t . The 1951 list, by t h e way, came out jus t before I was made a n " indef ini te" and aome f r iends in t he post office i»U me t h a t the 1951 list killed ttie 1949 list so it is Impossible for n e to gain my most desired ob-|«etlve.

I ^ e been employed in t he post c A c e now for more t h a n th ree y«ars.

Answer — You could be ent i t led to permanenoy conversion, if you would have been within r each for

.<ef im«nent) appo in t -

ment , h a d no t t h e Whi t t en Amendment t hen prohibi ted such appoints. Now it doesn't . However, if you were not within reach, t h en you could not be converted to permanency. As a f fect ing o ther t h a n those enti t led to conversion, t he 1951 list did kill t h e 1949 list. The consolidation of the 1949 an d 1951 lists with the list to result f r o m the cur ren t exam will con-s t i tu te a revival of those two prior lists for th is sole purpose only.

WHAT IS the critical da te which determines whether a Korean ve t -eran may claim veteran preference under t he New York S t a t e Law, which, I believe, iS the same also for NYC? P.L.

Answer. T h e candidate ' s da te of discharge controls, if t h e list was established a f t e r J a n u a r y 1. 1951. The candida te must have been dis-charged before t he list was es tab-lished, unless it was established prior to J a n u a r y 1. 1951. T h a t is the rule regarding veteran p re fe r -ence, which g ran t s 10 points to dis-abled veterans, 5 points to n o n -disabled veterans, in open-com-petitive tests, an d half as m a n y points, respectively, in promotion tests. Mili tary r ights , such as re-troactive seniority, may be claimed subsequent to the es tabl ishment of t he list, prior to appoin tment or promotion.

CITES CONGRESSMAN ON RETIREMENT Editor, T h e LEADER:

I wish to bring to the a t t en t ion of S ta t e employees t he existing condition t h a t prevails regarding social security in t he low pension re t i rement system, and why the coverage is not adopted by the s ta te .

Recently I received a let ter f r o m a member of Congress ou t -lining Congress an d Social Se-curity fo r s ta te employees. I quote a p a r ag rap h of the le t te r :

"Public Law 590 of t he 82nd Congress, adopted a few m o n t h s ago, also made some changes in the Social Securi ty System. The House version of t h e bill provided for coverage option to s ta te and local employees covered by s ta te pension systems, bu t t h e Senate version of t he legislation called only for f u r t h e r s tudy of such a proposal in t he new Congress. When the conference Repor t was adopted, ad jus t ing differences be-tween the two versions. Congress approved the Sena te version, which means t h a t the m a t t e r will again be considered next year. New York S t a t e ha s indicated t h a t it will not en ter in to an agreement with t he Federal Securi ty Admin-is t ra t ion even if t he option cov-erage for employees a l ready in re t i rement systems should be passed by the Congress, and without t h a t agreement no cov-erage could be effected."

Now the reason why the S ta te will not en te r in to t h a t agreement with t he Federa l Securi ty Admin- _ is t ra t ion is t h a t it must pay a J portion of the Social Securi ty pay- ' ments ; and a sovereign s ta te can - ' not be taxed without i ts consent. 1 Thus t he employees are le f t in I t he lurch and our old age benefits curtailed to our miserly low pen-sion, and wha t happens is we have i to go on home relief or in some inst i tut ion for t he aged.

I urge every employee to write to t he Governor for t he coverage of Social Security.

SPECULATION cont inues in political circles a s to t h e length of t ime Thomas E. Dewey will r ema in as governor.

He has told Republ ican leaders he won ' t resign in 1953, bu t will r emain to t he end of h is t e rm in 1954.

Whe the r or no t he remains , i t is obvious t h a t he h a s selected F r a n k C. Moore as his immedia te successor. For reasons best known to themselves, a sizeable n u m b e r of ups ta t e Republ ican leaders, even though they like Moore personally, do no t care for h im as Republ ican leader in the s ta te . They hold f o r t h for o ther political leaders, a m o n g t h e m Comptrol ler J . Raymond McGovern, Sena te Major i ty Leader Ar thu r H. Wicks and Sena te F inance C h a i r m a n Wal ter Mahoney.

I t now appear s t h a t in order to m a i n t a i n peace a n d gua ran t ee a proper share in the legi t imate political proceeds — namely good positions — for these top contenders , a p lan is evolving.

As p a r t of th is p lan wa tch for t h e appo in tmen t in ano the r year or so of McGovern to t h e sur rogate bench in Westchester County. A vacancy is expected the re and the Comptrol ler is being pushed as the m a n to fill it.

BADGES for "honora ry" NYC fire chiefs cost SI5 — and t h e money comes out of t he place you'd least suspect : The Fire D e p a r t -men t Welfare Fund , which helps suppor t various charit ies. Ls t h a t badge a fo rm of char i ty?

A LONG-RANGE objective is under way, so f a r sub-rosa, to have a Bureau of Fire Protect ion created in the IJ. S. Depa r tmen t of t h e In ter ior — one na t ion-wide fire depa r tmen t . The ground is t h a t p ro-tection of life and proper ty f r o m loss by fire is a na t iona l concern, and the automobile and airplane, augmen t ing the t ra in , br ing so m a n y thousands into locations o ther t h a n where they live, t h a t fire protection is no longer a local func t ion . Related to t he main ob-jective is a bill in Congress to have a na t iona l fire code re la t ing to merchandise .

A COMPLETE new book of rules will shortly be issued by the NYC Fire Depar tmen t . Odd th ing is t h a t staff representa t ives weren' t con-sulted, and will be asking how come?

LOOK F O R a huge heal th" p rogram to be inaugura ted in S t a t e service, providing, first, for periodic examina t ions of officials; a n d later, probably, for periodic examina t ions of employees on voluntary basis.

NYC F I R E COMMISSIONER G R U M E T told f r iends t h a t T h e LEADER published t h e most fac tua l ly accura te story about firemen holding outside jobs, by properly stressing t h a t filling outside jobs on City t ime was being investigated, and t h a t per forming outside work on one's own t ime was not under a t t ack .

P R I O R to becoming a NYC em-ployee, I did the same work but was paid by various Federal , S t a t e and City agencies dur ing the de-pression^ I t is possible to purchase th is ex t ra service credit in the NYC Employees Re t i r ement Sys-tem? I.G.

Answer — Credit for Federal and other "outside" service is not granted , hence arises only in t he case of a special s ta tu te . Inqui re of t h e NYCERT, 52 Chambers St.. New York, N. Y., whether any such s t a tu te covers your case. You coul<J hsive a f r i end write in his name, if you prefer .

COMMISSIONER FINO AND CONGRESS Editor . T h e LEADER:

This le t ter is wr i t ten to you in connection wi th the two articles which have appeared in your pub-lication concerning my candidacy and campaign for election to Con-gress.

My activities in th is connection are in no m a n n e r in conflict, ex-pressed or implied, with any pro-vision of 'aw. Section 818 of t h e New York City char te r governing the political activities of members of t he Commission provides in p a r t as follows:

"No member or employee of t h e Commission shall hold office or serve as a member of any com-mit tee in any political club or asso-ciation, nor shall he serve as a delegate to any political conven-t ion."

Clearly th is provision does n o t , prohibit my candidacy and cam-1 paign for Congress. However, in order to make sure t h a t th is was so, I , prior to my acceptance of the nominat ion , requested and r e - ! ceived an opinion f r o m t h e Cor-porat ion Counsel to t he effect t h a t my candidacy was not in conflict with t he above provision.

Accordingly, therefore , my ac-t ions are entirely lawful and proper.

Pension Questions Answered

WHAT IS the fc£[ect of income t ax on re t i rement allowance? I 'd like to compare ac tual re t i rement benefits, "wha t ' s lef t ," with pres-en t t ake -home pay. R. O'L.

Answer — Salary is subject to U. S. and S t a t e income tax. Say t h a t t he tax takes 25 percent . The deductions f rom salary for annu i ty purposes take, let 's say, ano the r 12 per cent, to ta l 37 percent . W h e n you ret ire, if you've been a m e m -ber of a contr ibutory system, t h e contr ibut ions to t h e annu i ty ac-count cease, there fore you're 12 percent bet ter off, as a s ta r te r . Also, the income tax is not based on the re t i rement income a t all, in the beginning, but only on t h e amoun t t h a t t he pensioner pu t in to t h e annu i ty account , called his cost. Pay on 3 percent of t h a t cost each year, and keep deduc t -ing the taxed a m o u n t year by year, unti l t he deductions equal cost, when t h e cost is said to be "recovered." After t h a t , repor t t he re t i rement income, and pay a t ax on t h a t income. Tax -exempt years average three . Usually the cost is fully recovered in a n u m -ber of years, plus a f rac t ional , year, and t ax would be paid on the re t i rement income only a f t e r t h e month in which cost ha s been re -covered. There is a movement afoot to have public employee re t i rement allowances wholly ex-empted f r o m U. S. and S ta te in -come tax. I n addi t ion to t he fore-going angles, consider t h a t a t age 65, an addit ional $600 exemption arises under U. S. income tax law, and if the pensioner 's wife (or husband) is age 65 or over, ano the r $600. You can figure out your actual percentages yourself, knowing your income a n d t a x rates. Compare, say. 63 percent of salary, all t h a t might be lef t now a f t e r taxes and contr ibut ions to annui ty , wi th t he percentage of salary t h a t would be represented by re t i rement income less taxes averaged over the life expectancy period, and include any t ax -ex -emption benefi ts for age.

X p E NEW age-55 Pjftn of NYC a h a l f - p a y re t i r ement p lan .

or does it provide for more or less t h a n half pay? T. D.

Answer — I t does all three. T h e 1 percent pension plan, whereby NYC pays 1 percent of final aver -age salary as the pension ra te , multiplied by the number of years of member-service, permi ts h a l f -pay re t i rement a f t e r 25 years^ more or less t h a n half pay, p ropor-t ionate to the number of years, if t he annu i ty is assumed to provide a benefit equal to t he pension. I t is up to the member to see t h a t h is annu i ty account is large enough to equal the purchas ing power of t he pension. T h e n t h e percentage of final salary equals twice t h e number of years of member - se r -vice. For ins tance, 10 years, 20 percent ; 121,2 years, 25 pe rcen t ; 15 years, 30 percent ; 20 years, 40 percent ; 25 years, 50 percent ; 30 years, 60 percent ; 35 years, 70 pe r -cent , and 50 years, 100 per cent . I t is there fore possible to re t i re a t ful l pay, and some few have r e -t i red a t even more t h a n ful l pay. They got more money, as t hey said, for not working t h a n fo r working, and considered it foolish to cont inue working. I t also a p -pears foolish to have worked un t i l such an old age, if it wasn ' t abso-lutely necessary. To gain t he best value f rom re t i rement , it is a d -visable to ret i re before one reaches age 70. Too m a n y employees s t ay on too long, hence die too soon a f t e r they retire, in other words, defea t t he benefit for which they strove. T h e fu l l -pay r e t i r emen t allowance, incidentally, need n o t require t he full 50 years. At age 65 it is a t ta inable , under ce r ta in circumstances, a f t e r 30 year.s' service. For ins tance, a clerk, now 55, who has 21/2 years ' pay in h i s annu i ty account , and m a n y have^ could go out a t full pay a t 65 by paying 15 per cent a year. M a n y members have much more. All t h i s assumes salary r emains fairly, s teady between now and re t i re -m e n t t ime.

HOW LONG is t he cont r ibut ion to t h e annu i ty account required under the new age-55 p lan? K.Wr

^ s w e r — To t h e end ol llio J5 th year of service. -

NYC Seeks Advice Of U .S. on Test for Social investigator

The NYC Civil Service Commis-•ion has Invited the Pederal Se-curity Administration to act in «n advisory capacity in connec-tion with the social investigator exam, for which applications closed on Wednesday, Sept. 24.

The Commission sent two of its examiners to Washington to take t h e FSA course on recruitment for social work, and they also took t h a t agency's In-service t raining course.

The written exam will be pre-pared by members of the Commis-Kion's own staff and is expected to be on the same basis as the last test, which officials and can-didates found generally sat isfac-tory. A previous exam, prepared by an outside "expert," caused howls of adverse criticism.

8 8 4 Start Sanitat ion Jobs O n Oct. 1, Some at Sacrifice

The Sanitation Department Is going to make an imposing cere-mony out of the swearing in of 884 sanitationmen, class B, on Wednesday, October 1, at 125 Worth Street, NYC. Commissioner Andrew W. Mulraln Is expected to swear them in himself and give a short talk on the respdnsitailities and opportunities ^ f a sanitation-man.

The department, to which the entire eligible list was certified nearly a month ago, called in 125 men a day for job Interviews, of whom more than half showed up and, if acceptable, took the job. Some men explained tha t they were making more money working in private industry, but tha t they saw an opportunity for a career In NYC service, with security and a pension system tha t offered much better benefits.

The last of the groups called in

was interviewed last Wednesday. Because the bntire list was cer-

tified, some eligibles were disap-pointed because they were not called to a job interview. Only as many are called as are deemed necessary to assure filling all the jobs. Thus when the last eligible among those called accepts, the remaining eligibles have to wait until the next time appointments are made.

Shorter Work Week The unusually large number of

appointments results f rom the 44-hour week, which goes Into effect on October 1, and also to the ac-cumulation of vacancies tha t left the department undermanned, an informant stated.

The list number of the last man notified to appear for interview is 3,926.5, while the list number of the last man on the eligible list is 4890. There are now only about

Good Job Opportunities For Middle-Aged as Clerks

NYC will fill 330 jobs as clerk, grade 2, in the Department of Hos-pitals, f rom an exam tha t opens on Tuesday, October 7 and closes on Wednesday, October 27. No jobs in other departments will be filled from tha t list, nor will the Department of Hospitals author-ize the transfer of any appointed f rom the resultant list.

Most of the jobs are as clerks in wards, but there are some in other divisions of the department, too.

$50 a Week in Sight Start ing pay is $2,110 a year.

A $250 cost-of-living adjustment is included in the $2,110. Two more cost-of-living adjustments of $125 each will be granted, the first af ter the first year of service, the second af ter the second year. Also, there are four mandatory annual increments of $120 each. Hence af ter the second year the salary is $50 a week.

The application fee is $2. The clerk, grade 2, title is eligi-

ble for promotion to clerk, grade 3, in any City department.

No Experience Required There are no formal education-

al or experience requirements. Only the competitive written

test will be used for determining candidates' list standing. A medi-cal test will appraise a candi-date's sight, hearing, eyes, ears, lungs, heart , etc.

The written test will evaluate the candidate's general intelli-gence, ability to follow directions, and knowledge of such subjects as office practice, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, arithmetic, and civil affairs.

Chance for Middle-Aged There are no special.age limits.

Minimum age would be 18 and maximum 70, the compulsory re-tirement age.

TAylor 7.7534-S

again beginning to tighten age requirements, wi th applicants past 35 being rejected as "too old," the hospital clerk exam offers a good opportunity to those in their for-ties and fifties, particularly women, against whom private in-dustry's age restrictions are even more severe.

NYC is counting on attracting a considerable number of candi-dates because of the absence of any stiff requirements of any kind, and the fact t ha t the jobs are steady and promotion opportuni-ties excellent. I t is expected tha t the test, while meeting competi-tive requirements fully, will not be at all difficult.

Appointees must become mem-bers of the NYC Employees Re-tirement System. They may select a plan under which they may re-tire a t half pay af ter 25 years' service, or at proportionately more or less, for greater or lesser length of service, but must a t ta in age 55 before they may retire. But no age limits apply to retirement on disability. ^

Weighty Women Find Weights Too Exacting

In the recent NYC policewoman physical test, those young women wiio were even a little on the obese side, and those who were considerably underweight, couldn't make the grade.

On the next to last day. the event was covered by photograph-ers and reporters frorm the metro-politan press, and televised by two stations. But on the final day Barbara H. Hillary attained the only perfect score in the physical, without benefit of any such pub-licity.

Four of the 144 on the list soon to be issued are college graduates.

The event was conducted by Paul M. Brennan, director of the NYC Civil Service Commission's medical-physical bureau, and present as spectators were the three Civil Service Commissioners, Paul P. Brennan (no relation), Paul A. Fino, and Thomas B. Dyett; also Chief Inspector Con-rad Rothengast and Theresa Scagnelli, director of the Bureau of Policewomen; Inspector Alice Robb, head of the policewomen in Scotland (not Scotland Yard) ; Correction Commissioner Albert Willianxs; Michael J. Delehanty, director of Delehanty Insti tute; William H. Latham, director. Parks Department, representing Commissioner Robert Moses, and John J . Downing, director of rec-reation, Parks Department. The event was held in Van Cortlandt Park.

There are 23 vacancies and they are expected to be filled soon af ter the list is established.

1,000 names left on the list. The list number of the last man ac-tually appointed will not be known until October 1.

The pay of a sanitationman, Class B, is $3,930 a year. What Comes After Appointment

Appointments are probationary. After six months of satisfactory service the employee at tains per-manency. Instances of sanitat ion-men being let out at the end of the probationary period because of unsatisfactory work are rare.

The nearly 900 who answered the call proved to be men in their twenties. Many of them are high school graduates. The number of such graduates among the sani ta-tionmen in NYC is increasing with each successive exam, the present lists- having attained the highest percentage of them, as well «« the highest number. ^

Department Co-operates The department tries to assign

the men as close as possible to their homes to avoid loss of time in travel. I t sometimes happens, however, tha t more Staten Island-ers are appointed than there are vacancies on Staten Island. The excess RIchmondites are put to work in Manhat tan .

ment : For courses of institutional, on- fa rm training and courses of-fered by educational InstitfUions in the State.

Niagara County Employees Ask $ 3 0 0 Pay Raise

LOCKPORT, Sept. 29 — Mrs. Ruth Heacox, president of the Nia-gara chapter, CSEA, in a letter to the Board of Supervisors of Nia-gara County, asked tha t a straight $300-a-year raise be granted to all salaried employees of the county.

Citing the rising cost of living and the difficulty of negotiating a salary increase except a t budget time, Mrs. Heacox asked tha t a meeting between the salary com-mittee of the chapter and the Salary and Finance Committees of the Board of Supervisors be arranged.

Mrs. Heacox noted tha t al-although a salary survey had been completed in Niagara County dur-ing the year, as yet nothing has emanated f rom the Board con-cerning Its results.

Niagara chapter negotiated past salary increases with the Board and has established good working relationships with the Supervisors. The chapter has had a large in-crease in membership and feels It is much more representative of the entire county personnel than in former years.

Members of the chapter salary committee are: William M. Doyle, Niagara Sanatorijim, chairman; Jay Stockwell, treasurer 's Office; Alice Gammon and Herman Kug-lin. Probation Department; Isa-bel Andrews, Jack Weber and Lu-cille Staudinger, Welfare Depart-ment, and Grace Ernest, Niagara Infirmary.
