ALL WAR WORKERS The LEADER has been asked to relay a Special Message from your Government concerning your job-see poge le

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

Looks Like You'll Retain Your Job After the War

By CHARLES SULLIVAN WASHINGTON—Federal employees should stick to

their jobs. Don't get excited about the approaching peace in Europe!. Your joB will last a long time—probably as long as you want to stay. Despite all the talk you hear, your chances of remaining with the Federal government Aren't at all bad I ' ^This message comes f rom gov-e rnment officials who know. Here's how they reason. Between t h e peace in Germany and the peace in J a p a n there will be such an exodus of government work-ers who are pledged to re turn to psivate Industry t h a t the person who wants to stay .with govern-ment will have every opportunity to do so.

I n fac t officials are worrying

ADMINISTRATORS Importantl

. SOMETHING NEW! The LEADER has begun a new section dealing with Public Adnfiinistration. I t is our plan, in extending the scope

, of LEADER coverage, to make this a better publi-cation. We feel t ha t the public administrator and the employee of a govern-men t agency require more

^ t h a n a weekly resume of civil service rules, regula-tions, lists, complaints, and personnel changes. They will be better public servants,

i better governmental techni-cians, if they know what n e w t h i n g s are being

• planned in their depar t -ments, and in others; if they know wnav new devices and methods are becoming available in t ransportat ion,

' s a n i t a t i o n , health, police, education, welfare, hospital,

.f sewage, and fli'e work.

tha t the thing will go too far . T h a t employees will have to be begged to stay to keep the necessary wheels going even a f te r J a p a n is defeated!

I t is pointed out by, goverh-ment executives t h a t the reduc-tion in force regulations [See LEADER, August 15 and 22] will probably never have to be used on any large scale.

Already government faces the most serious manpower shortage of the entire war as a result of resignations. Thousands who came to government because the war curtailed their peace-time activity are leaving to get organized for peace.

This message is a plea to them to stay until they are no longer needed but it is an invitation t o ' sary to handle the work.

THE PUBLIC ADMINIS-TRATION section (see pages 10 and 11) will deal with news, plans, programs of

- 'States, counties, cities, towns and villages; i t will present

, the problems of some com-• munities, and relate the

solutions to problems by other communities; it will record new ideas by public officials and employees and by others whose work and ta lents are impor tant in government.

the worker who wants to make government a career, with its se-curity and opportunity for steady advancement, to stay.

The Work of Government Authorities point out t h a t both

political parties agree t h a t prac-tically all the ma jo r funct ions of government should be perman-ently maintained. I t is reasoned t h a t no mat te r which par ty gets into power, the work of govern-ment is cut out and will require many more workers to do the job t h a n were needed before the war. By the time the war agen-cies' funct ions cease, the new problems of veterans adminis t ra-tion, extended participation in foreign affairs , public works, and many other activities will be u n -der way to absorb employees in the temporary agencies.

As soon as Germany is defeated, it is assumed t h a t government will go back on the 40-hour week with all vacations restored. T h a t is, unless too many people resign and the 48 hours will be neces-

NYC EMPLOYEES Rromotion-Without-Test Plan Arouses Huge Interest

A proposal for automatic promotions without examina-tion, which appeared on page 1 of last week's LEADER, has aroused unusual discussion among employees and officials in New York City's service.

The plan, which is already In the form of legislation, calls for a change in the present type of promotion. I n its stead would be three types of promotion. They are :

1. Regular automatic promo-tions to employees who receive satisfactory service ratings.

2. Accelerated promotions for those who have maintained ex-ceptional service ratings.

3. Promotion by regular ex-aminat ion for those who have the ability to advance more rapidly.

As presently worked out, the project calls for f a r greater em-phasis on service rat ings t han is now the case.

Employees Pool Ideas In the Depar tment of San i ta -

tion, a group of employees dis-cussed the pros and cons of the new plan, and sent a letter, via the department 's Chief Fiscal Of -ficer, Harry Langdon, setting for th their reactions to the proposal. The reactions sum up the conclu-sions and queries of employees in

all City depjartments. The le t ter : "Your article in the September

12th LEADER on "Promotions Without Tests," caused much dis-cussion among the clerical em-ployees of this depar tment , and as a result they requested t h a t there be sent to you for basic con-sumption some of the ideas t h a t were advanced. These ideas are not my personal reactions. s.

Both the depar tmental officials and the Budget Examin-ers could use the rat ings for such information as they may require.

State Civil Service Checking All Veteran Claims for Disability Preference

ALBANY—More than a dozen claims for disability pref-erence filed by veterans of World War 2 with the State Civil Service Department have been disallowed following a check-up of the claimants by physicians and psychiatrists employed by the department.

At the same time, however, 18 claims of disabled veterans of World War 2 have been allowed during the period, April to Sep-tember 1. I n the same period the depar tment allowed disability claims of five veterans of World War 1.

Wide Variety of Jobs Statistics compiled under the

direction of Miss Dorothy Smith, secretary of the commission, re-veal tha t the disability claims were filed by candidates for a wide va-riety of positions. Examinations for these jobs were conducted two and three years ago and were taken by the candidates before those who participated in tWe pres-ent World Wai' wei-e called into military service.

The Civil Service Commission, it was revealed, is now engaged in a series of discussions to deter-mine just how the depar tment can be of most assistance to the re turning war veterans. Recom-mendations, or at least an outline

of what the depar tment is au thor -ized to do and what the law says about veterans, aheady have been submitted to the S ta te Veterans Aid Commission headed by Gen-eral Hugh Drum. Although the Veterans Commission includes the heads of nine other departments, the president of the Civil Service Commission for some inexplicable reason was not included in the s ta tutory membership. Don't Want to Shove Vet Around

"We want to set up some sort pf machinery t h a t will obviate the shoving around of any vetei-an", said a high representative of the depar tment . "We want to provide specific and definite advice, assist-ance and recommendations to the veteran, looking for a civil service job", he added. "One of the worst features following the last war was the way the veterans were pushed around in their que-st for jobs. We don't want to tell a vet-eran tha t he is qualified for a cer-

tain kind of position and then send h im bat t ing around f rom one agency or depar tment to another looking for t h a t job. We think we can provide a clearing house and a speedy and sensible way of connecting the veteran with the job."

I t was evident t ha t the aspira-tions of this spokesman for the depar tment will be unavailing un-less the depar tment gets the co-qperation of the Governor and the other departments . Appoint-ing officers may be loathe to give up any of their prerogatives in the way of appointments and may resist the channelling of positions through civil service.

They Seek State Service Figures f u r n i s h e d to The

LEADER by Miss Smith show the rapidly increasing desire of dis-abled veterans to get into S ta te service. Under the State Consti-tution a disabled veteran auto-matically goes to the top of any list for which he qualifies with a passing mark. Tlie next Legisla-ture will reconsider this year's proposal giving all veterans, both disabled and non-disabled,

preference in civil service appoint-ments. This proposed amendment to the Constitution, vastly liberal-izing veteran preference, t hen would be voted upon by the people a t the election i n ' 1945. Next year is a mayoralty year i a New York City, an off-year upstate, and hence political figures say there is a strong possibility t h a t the veteran proposal would be adopted and become par t of the Constitution.

Re-Checking Claims I n justice to all, including the

truly disabled veterans, the Civil Service Depar tment is re-checking claims of those who ask for pref -erence on the basis of service con-nected disability. I t costs the de-pa r tment f rom $5 to $20 to make these individual check ups, the expense representing the fee of those retained to do the examin-ing. In a t least a dozen cases it was found by the depar tment ' s examiners t ha t the claimant was not suffering mental or physical disabihty to the extent t ha t would warrant the granting of disabled veteran preference.

Miss Smith 's report said: "At the present moment, figures

indicate tha t f rom April 1, 1943 to March 31, 1944, a total of 39 claims were allowed veterans of World War 1 and 5 claims were allowed veterans of World War 2."

Not Much Chance Of Salary Raise For U. i . Workers

WASHINGTON—Federa l e m -ployees can give up all hope of a general pay raise unti l next year, when the new congress might get a round to it.

At the last meeting of the House Civil Service Commit tee it was voted to shelve all pay bills unt i l the n^xt Congress. Members of the commit tee felt the issue of raises fo r government workers could be-come to m u c h of a political hot potato.

This action was t aken in spite of t he pledge of pract ical ly all members of t he commit tee except Cha i rman Ramspeck t h a t they f a -vored holding hear ings on t h e Scanlon resolution which would set up a Federal pay mediat ion board. This bill was fought for

hotly by the United Federal Work-ers of America, CIO. .

Pension Raises Killed I n addit ion the commit tee killed

for all pract ical purposes t he L a n -ger re t i rement bill. I t removed a provision to raise t h e pensions of ret i red workers by 15 per cent, and decided to drop t h e whole th ing when an a m e n d m e n t t h a t would reduce annui t ies for h i g h -er-paid workers was made.

However, t h e Lane bill, which would provide lump sum paymen t for accrued annua l leave was re-ported out and subsequently pass-ed by t h e House. I t Is doubt fu l If th is bill will be passed by t h e Sena te dur ing the session. Fa i lure to do th is migh t leave thousands of federal employees who might be dismissed between now and next year excluded f r o m its provisions.

T h e Rando lph hea l th bill was reported out favorably and now is on the calendar for House debate. An a m e n d m e n t excluding TVA f rom its provisions was added.

Bernard Barueh, Gov, Warren, Favor Unemployment Aid for U, 5. Employees

WASHINGTON—Unemployment compensation for Government workers and travel home pay are the tvv o items which have held up passage of the George reconver-sion bill.

The bill is in a conference committee of the two houses. The Senate is holding out for keeping those two sections in the bill and the House wants them eliminated.

A s t a lemate was reached last week an d House members went back to the i r chamber to get ad-vice. Chief objection f r o m t h e lower house is t h a t accrued a n -nua l leave, which Federal em-ployees would get upon leaving the service. Is t h e same as u n e m -ployment benefi ts .

Nei ther side admi t s t h a t it will give ground on these sections an d

All the Answers to Your Retirement Queries

(Continued from, preceding issues)

38. May an employee make additional payments to increase his annuity? Yes. Any employee subjec t to t he Re t i r emen t Act may make

voluntary contr ibut ions to the re t i rement f u n d , in addi t ion to his regu-la r payments . These voluntary contr ibut ions mus t be made in amoun t s of $25 or a multiple thereof , and may no t exceed 10 percent of the aggregate basic salary received by the employee since August 1, 1920. T h e amoun t s so deposited plus in teres t a t 3 percent compounded annual ly are available a t t ime of r e t i r ement to purchase addi t ional annui ty . 39. May an employee pay voluntary contributions without making

depoiiit or redeposit to cover prior service? Yes, unless there is involved a paymen t which is required for

t i t le to annu i ty (see questions 34 and 128). I t is generally to t h e employee's advantage , however, to first make any deposit or redeposjfc due before applying for t he voluntary contr ibut ion privilege. 40. Is tontine chnrged against these voluntary contributions?

No. 41. How are these payments made?

These voluntary contr ibut ions are made direct to t he Civil Service Commission. Ins t ruc t ions and identif icat ion slips a re issued by the Commission a f t e r the employee executes and files with t h a t office Fo rm 3471 evidencing his election to make the payments . 42. After separation f rom service can an employee make voluntary con-

tributions to increase his annuity? These contr ibut ions may be made only by an employee in t h e

service, or a t the t ime his annu i ty claim is actually being ad jud ica ted by the Civil Service Commission. 43. May voluntary contributions be made by an employee on military

fur lough f rom his civilian position? Such contr ibut ions may be deposited based on salary received

between August 1, 1920 and beginning da te of fur lough, but no con-t r ibut ions are then acceptable based on the mil i tary or naval pay. 44. Does the Government contribute to the retirement f u n d ?

Yes. Congress makes a n n u a l appropr ia t ions to the f u n d in amoun t s determined by the Board of Actuaries to be necessai-y to keep the f u n d in a sound working condition. 45. How many types of relircment on annuity are provided for in the

retirement law? Four : Age, optional, disability, and discontinued service.

46. Is there a compulsory retirement uge? Yes. 70 years. An employee who has served a t least 15 years is

automatical ly separa ted a t the end of the m o n t h in which he a t t a ins such age, unless cont inued in service beyond t h a t da te by Executive order, or reemployed. 47. Does ihis uutoniutic sepurntion apply to all emplovees?

. Yes, except cer ta in employees in the legislative and judicial b ranches of the Government . 48. What happens if the employee has served less than 15 years when

lie reaches 70? He may cont inue in Federal employment unti l he completes this

15-year period. 49. In case the employee resigns or is discharged af ter he reachtts 70,

but before completing 15 years' service, will he forfeit his right to any annuity?

If he has served 5 years or more, discontinued service annui ty will be payable f rom the first of the m o n t h following separa t ion; if less t h a n 5 years, r e fund only will be due. 50. May an employee retired for age be reemployed in the Government

service? He may if the appoint ing officer determines t h a t he posseses

special qualifications.

Need For Raises Is Strong The dire need fo r raises for

For basic s t reng th AFL and CIO behind AFGE and UFWA respectively would car ry m u c h weight, and the conservatism and solidarity of NFFE could be weld-ed into a uni t with t remendous influence and prestige. None of the organizat ions would lose their basic identities.

When a Transfer Includes Travel Expenses

The circumstances under which a Government employee w h o t r ans fe r s f r o m one agency to a n -o ther is ent i t led to paymen t of t r anspor ta t ion expenses are de-fined in a c ircular Issued last week to the heads of Federal agencies by the U. S. Civil Serv-ice Commission.

T h e t r ans fe r mus t be to a posi-tion beyond reasonable commut -ing dis tance f r o m the home of t he employee concerned, the Commis-sion said, and mus t be to a posi-t ion in which the Commission h a s determined t h a t t h e employee will m a k e a more effective con-t r ibut ion to t he war program.

T h e expenses, which will be paid by the agency to which the employee is t r ans fe r r ing , consist of the cost of t ranspor t ing the employee a n d his household goods, in accordance with Govern-men t regulations. T h e Commis-sion pointed out t h a t there is no provision for the p a y m e n t of t he t r anspor ta t ion expenses of t he employee's family.

T h e Commission will assume, in passing upon such cases, t h a t the agency to which the employee is to be t r ans fe r red h a s f u n d s available for t h e paymen t of t ranspor ta t ion expenses. If t he Commission author izes a t r ans fe r which requires the paymen t of t ranspor ta t ion expenses an d the agency does no t have f u n d s for such payment , the au thor i ty may not be used and mus t be re turned to the Commission for cancella-tion.

Disabled Gl Eligibles or Ex-Employees Pose Tough Problem for Civil Service

By JEROME YALE Vast numbers of returning veterans are expected to

request disability preference from the New York City ad-ministration.

The Municipal Civil Service Commission, which has the duty of deciding upon these preferences, has so far had comparatively few requests: two or three appear for action at the regular weekly calendar meeting of the com-missioners. But the expectation is that when the veterans s t a r t r e tu rn ing in force, t he r e -cruests will mult iply hugely. So fa r , t he Commission's approach to t he problem h a s n ' t been rigidly codified. And there is among of -ficials of t he Commission a n a t t i -tude of expectancy and hope t h a t t he problem will no t become too heavy a one, and will no t pose too m a n y insoluble riddles.

Who Gets Preference A veteran may ask disability

preference if he is taking a n ex-amina t ion , if he is an employee on list, or if he is an employee on leave to t h e a rmed forces. He gets th is p re fe rence if he ha s been h u r t while in t h e un i fo rm of t h e Uni ted States , and has an h o n o r -able discharge.

Biggest problem is t h a t of eli-

1. T h e appl icant is capable of fulf i l l ing t h e job for which he was eligible before he entered service.

2. T h e appl icant is incapable of fi l l ing t h e job for which he was originally eligible, but m a y ca-pably hold ano the r "appropr ia te" job. T h e physicians have a list of such "appropr ia t e" jobs for which

Commission considers it i ts duty to protect the pension system. I t asks in each case: How m a n y years of f r u i t f u l service can th is m a n be expected to give t he City? If t h e answer is such as to indi-cate t h a t the candida te will have to be given a pension before he h a s tu rned in a requisite number of years of service, he may be de-nied his job.

T h e whole problem is still highly involved. Already there a re cases in which wide cleavage has devel-oped between t h e Civil Service Commission, on the one hand , a n d veterans and other governmenta l agencies, on the other . *

Mass Clerk Promotions from Clerk Lists Expected in January and July

"There have been more promotions made during the period of September 15, 1942 to July 1, 1944, than in any comparable preceding period." This was the comment of an official in the New York City Budget Office, in uphold-ing his contention that promotions in recent years have reached an all-time high. He made the statement during the course of a discussion on prospective promotions for employees who have passed the clerk grade 3 and the clerk grade 4 examinations.

Here 's the breakdown for t h a t s t a t emen t :

Clerk grade 2 saw 867 promo-tions.

Clerk grade 3 saw 148 promo-tions. ,

Clerk grade 4, 3 promotions. Bookkeeper grade 1, 11 promo-

tions. Jun io r accountant , 55 promo-

tions. Accountant , 23 promotions. S tenographer gi'ade 2, 45 pro-

motions. S tenographer grade 3, 236 p ro -

motions. Miscellaneous, 76 promotions. T h a t gives a tota l of 1464 cler-

ical promotions in a period of one year a n d 10 months . This , ac-

,cording to t he Budget Office, r ep -resents a very high range of pro-mot ional opportuni t ies in New York City.

Grade S, 4 Promotions As for t he specific grade 3 an d

grade 4 lists, mass promotions are not to be expected unt i l J a n u a r y and again in July, 1945.

However, if a par t icular vacancy exists in the h igher grade, it m a y be filled a t the present time.

Also, provisionals current ly ho ld-ing jobs in t he h igher grades will be repl>iced by persons f r o m t h e lists.

A th i rd case where a n employee may expect promotion, is where he h a s been per forming the work of t he higher title, bu t h a s done so while remain ing in t h e lower grade. However, the d ep a r tm en t will have to prove t h a t the wo^k is actual ly t h a t of the h igher grade before an OK for t h e pro-motions will come th rough .

A f o u r t h s i tuat ion where p ro-motions may come th rough in in -dividual cases, is where a depa r t -men t may f ind itself with an acute

shortage of clerks in t he grade 3 and grade 4 categories.

Budget View of Promotions T h e Budget Director 's Off ice

takes the view tha t New York City is more liberal in its promotion procedures t h a n m a n y employees are willing to admit , and cites the f igures quoted above to prove it. I t goes f u r t h e r to say t h a t t he t rue career service doesn' t m e a n t h a t merely "making a l ist" car -ries with it a promotion. T h e Budget Off ice mus t take a great variety of fac tors in to considera-tion before making the promotion, including (1) e f fec t on the budget ; (2) the depar tment ' s need; (3) effect on the service as a whole— it can ' t become topheavy wi th em-ployees in t h e h igher grades; (4) t he Mayor 's view.

Mass promotions twice a year, says t he Budget Office, is a su-perior system to t he older one where a n employee had to wai t unt i l somebody ahead of h i m moved up ano the r step, ret i red, or in some other m a n n e r "got out of the way," before he could hope to get a promotion. If 500 promo-tions should come th rough a t once f r o m the grade 3 and grade 4 lists In J a n u a r y — " t h a t ' s a lot of promotions," said one Budget spokesman.

Fire Officers Assn. Claims Majority, AsksRecognition

The Uniformed Fire Officers Association, consisting of the men—from lieutanent through chief officers—who lead New York City's firefighters—now ha« a majority of the eligible men in the department as members. In fact, the roster of members has zoomed until it is now close to 800, which is substantially more than 50 percent of the 1414 officers in the department.

But unti l an OK is received an f rom Commissioner P a t r i c k Walsh, t he new organizat ion re -

solutely refuses to collect dues f r o m the members . T h e rules of

the depa r tmen t require t h a t such an OK be obtained. Many of t he members , enthusias t ic over t he fo rmat ion of this new unit , have wanted to pay dues, but "no th ing doing," say t h e t empora ry of -ficials of t h e organizat ion.

At a meeting held last T h u r s -day, September 14, m e m b e r s clamored for a clear delineation of purposes and an immediate ac-tive program. I t was decided, however, to hold back unti l f o rm-al recognition comes f r o m the Fire Commissioner before any def int ie p rogram is set fo r th , beyond t h a t contained in t he organizat ion 's const i tut ion and by-laws.

Formal recognition has awaited.

Important Service Rating Changes Pending—Civil Service Not Consulted

Many employees are unaware how Impor tan t service ra t ings can be to them. T h e t rue f ac t Is t h a t service ra t ing may make t h e d i f -ference, in a close contest , between an employee's get t ing promoted or s taying on In his fo rmer title. Since a small percentage is granted on promotion examinat ions for the service ra t ing , and since these per -centages add up dur ing the years the f inal result can be vital . There are m a n y cases where a person with higher credit on his service ra t ings ha s won a promotion ahead of a fellow-employee who h a s a hiiUier m a r k on the examina t ion .

Pbr m a n y months , group of New York City officials ha s been meet ing and working on the busi-ness of service ra t ings . New York City, which h a s a good service r a t ing system, hasn ' t one t h a t ' s good enough, they say. Originally, th i s group was under t h e cha i r -m a n s h i p of Ekigar J . Bromberger , C(Mnmissioner of Investigation. H e stepped down, however, be-cause it appeared t h a t h is posi-t ion in the commit tee may have given it the appearance of a probe. I n his place now is William H. L a t h a m . Parte Engineer .

Tbe Sub-Commit tees T h e group is divided into five

sub-commit tees . Serving on these commit tees are the following city officials:

Sub-Commit tee on Objectives of a Ra t ing System: Leona B a u m -gar tne r , cha i rman , Heal th Dept. ; Will iam J . Shea, Budget Office; Joseph Rechetnick, Housing Au-thor i ty .

Sub-Commit tee on D e p a r t -men ta l Ra t ing Boards : F r a n k P. Clements, Public Works, cha i r -m a n ; Louis E. Yavner , Purchase ; Margare t F lanagap , Welfare .

Sub-Commit tee on Personal Evaluat ion ( S t a n d a r d s ) : Winfield S. S. H a r t m a n , Transpor ta t ion , c h a i r m a n ; H. B roadman Epstein, Law; Joseph Rechetnik , Housing; Willard J . Carmel, Invest igat ion.

Sub-Commit tee on Service R a t -ing Fo rms : Ha r ry E. Bass, San i -ta t ion, c h a i r m a n ; Bernard L. Gill-roy. Housing & Buildings; William A. Ettel, Hospitals.

Sub-Commit tee on Civil Service Commission Processing and Pro-cedures: Ha r ry R. Langdon, San i -tat ion, cha i rman ; T imothy J . O'Shea, F inance ; Ha r ry E Bass, San i ta t ion .

T h e ent i re group will meet on Friday, September 22, 3 p.m., in

Ask Freedom From Accident Claims

room 2317 of the Municipal Build-ing.

Civil Service Omit ted No member of the Municipal

Civil Service Commission serves with any of t he committees, even though the Commission is directly involved in the m a t t e r of service rat ings. This absence has caused speculation. The "official" reason given is t h a t t he group wan ted to avoid being influenced by t h e Commission. Early meet ings of the Service R a t i n g Commit tee re -vealed vast ignorance on the p a r t of top officials concerning the uses an d methods of service ra t ings . This was not , however, unusual , since the subject is one upon which few people have any de-tailed knowledge. All present service ra t ing systems have in them a huge "subject ive" element. Ear ly a t t empt s by the Commit tee to set u p a bet ter system resulted in a series of recommendat ions which would have proved more complicated t h a n the present se t -up. However, The LEADER u n -ders tands t h a t a p lan is ready for presenta t ion to t he ent i re com-mit tee which is a drast ic depar -tu re f r o m the present setup.

T h e Bristle Brigade is re luc tan t to comment upon this "ha i ry" s i tuat ion. However, some speculation has arisen, such as : " I s there any insidious political significance, as Dewey sympathiz ing?"

[Dewey also has a moustache. Remember? ! "Could there be ex-per imenta t ion as to who is boss a t home," and "Could it be," say

some of the boys, " t h a t since the Fire Depa r tmen t ha s of recent t imes retrogrossed some for ty of fifty years they may as well look like the 1890 fire laddies, with their flourishing handle-bars . "

Off the record, it ha s been learned, t h a t there is a little con-f ident ia l bet on among the boys, t h a t will result in a joyous bit of "socializing."

ASST. MAINTENANCK E N G I N E E R (Powei'l. Board of Transportation:

And, as you h a s been t h e subject of high dis-sa t is fact ion and the basis of m a n y a court case. ;

To do a little something about this mess, the Municipal Civil Service Commission has set u p a commit tee on laws and rules, which today considers problems of reclassification as they come up. The examiners pe r fo rm re-search, t hen they repor t to t he committee, which in t u r n repor ts to S. H. Galston, executive direc-tor of the Commission. But th i s work is necessarily per formed on a piecemeal basis, and doesn ' t do much to solve the problem—which is to set up an orderly system of grades an d services, such as New York S ta te h a s done.

I n addit ion, Mr. Gais ton th is week in an interview suggested of the need for "scientific compen-sat ion", which could only come about via a s tudy of every city job, its duties, grouping t h e var i -ous titles, and determining the salaries of each by comparison with the pay of similar job-speci-fications in private indust ry and in other governmental jurisdic-tions.

Admittedly, such a s tudy would take t he kind of manpower t h a t isn' t available these days, and the kind of money which would hard ly be for thcoming, but it remains an ideal toward which the city m ' i i t strive in its pos t -war civil service outlook.

A more detailed look at the s i tuat ion reveals how f a r f rom j "scientific compensat ion" the City [ really is. There is t h e McCar thy Inc rement Law, which is unsa t i s -fac tory because it takes in a t h in sliver of the city's employees, a n d includes nobody whose earn ing power is over $2,400 a year. More-

over, it doesn't take in all t he services.

Then again, the City Council, s tepping into thLs purely admin-istrative sphere, sometimes takes act ion which it and various em-ployees th ink can ' t be had any other way. Thus , the Council a t -tempted by law to establish a t -t e n d a n t s within the pai-k serv-ice. For one job, they set up in effect two salary schedules. The re are a t present four sa lary group-ings for a t t e n d a n t s : $1,200 to $1,800; $1,801 to $2,400; $2,401 to 2,000; $3,000 and over. But t he a t t e n d a n t s who get the i r sa lary via t h a t par t icular City Council act ion stop a t $1,800!

Ungraded Service In the so-called "ungraded"

service, any th ing can happen . Somebody high up in the City ! service can say, "Well such and ! such a job is wor th $2,000"—so $2,000 is set as the salary, even though there may be no relat ion between the duties of the post or wha t the same job would ea rn in pi rvate industry.

T h a t ' s the New York City clas-sification se tup as of now.

Anybody got any ideas?

War Dept. Will Give Up Long Week-ltDidn't Work r r \ HE War Department's Army Service Forces will

I abandon the 54-hour week. When the innovation was first introduced, the

LEADER stated editorially that this newspaper would watch the experiment, ti-y to understand the reasons for it, and see how it would work out in practice, before under-taking to praise or condemn it. The major consideration was: Would it help win the war?

By last week, we had the facts. We wpre ready to say, and we did say editorially, that the 54-hour week had proven a failure in practice, that it had not increased output, and that is should therefore be abandoned.

We are pleased to see that General Somervell, head of Army Service Forces, is not insistent on hanging on to an experiment that didn't pan out.

The Custodial Mess Must Be Cleaned Up

XT WAS four years ago that The LEADER advocated straight civil servico as the only way of cleaning up ciistodial mess in New York City's Board of I^ducation. What was so obvious to us then, has had to be made

obvious to the City's officials by being banged into then-heads by the courts. Suddenly, the Board of Education, after being told by the courts that the system of custodial employment is outmoded, agrees with sanctimonious ges-tures to do something about it. They'll put the custodial helpers in a single school under civil service, "as an experiment." What kind of an experiment is this? Have we suddenly forgotten how civil"service works?

Let the Board immediately order civil service for the entire'custodial staff of the City. Let civil service pro-cedure begin to work for all. Only in this way will the custodial staff be released from conditions of work that more than one authority has described as slavery.

NYC Employees Need A Training Plan At a t i m e when private industry, the States, and the

Federal government are giving ever more attention to the desirability of training employees. New York

City has thrown its training program overboard. Let us admit that the program could have been better. Y ou don't kill a man to reform him. What New York

City's Training Bureau needed was not to be scrapped, but to be modernized. Th^re are a number of excellent educators who are capable of doing the job. The City should give quick consideration to the re-establishment oi a fii-st-class training bureau.

Tough industrialists have found that education pays ofl". The War Department found the same thing. So will New York City.

We hear rumors that the authorities are not adamant about training, that they will do something about it. We hope these rumors are true, and that when something is done, it will be in full realization of the value of a thor-oughgoing program. If we once again get a piddling penny-pinching training setup, it will end up where the first one did.

letters liiteriial Revenue Supervisors Coiideiniied

Sirs: You run a column for "Vets". Would it be possible to run a similar column for Internal Revenue in the Bronx?

The conditions existing in that agency are abominable. There is a great turn-over in personnel, and not without reason.

Supervisors have their favorites. Another trouble is tha t there are no uniform rules throughout the agency. Each floor has its own rules. Some holidays, people on one floor have an extra 15 min-utes for lunch; another only 5 minutes.

It is doubtful that supervisors were told to hound employees; the men in charge of the office seem very human. Supervisors should remember tha t they, too, were once clerks.

Most of us know and realize tha t there is a job to be done, and we've been doing it. We have worked hard and conscientiously throughout the hot summer with no vacation and no increases. Yet ftH we can expect when the war is over is a nice letter saying "ser-

vices no longer required.** If clerks are really so hard to

get, why don't they treat the ones they have a little better and give them an incentive to work there?

City and State employees are contributing their share to the war effort by sticking to their fixed-salaried but vital jobs and taking It on the chin economically, and it Is proposed to reward them for their unselfish service by deny-ing them the opportunity of pro-motion in the post-war period. All sorts of schemes are being pro-posed and seriously discussed which would help the veterans, the discharged war workers, and others, but nobody seems to care what happens to the thou-sands pf civil; ^ y i c e workers—we aife ttie foigoit£i> men (^n^.fvomeii

Merit Men

THERE ARE 300 employees of the New York City Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity who are members o f ' t h e 25-year club, composed of persons who have been with the department for at least a quarter of a century.

One of the -leans of this or-ganization is August C. Schmidt, who started working for New York City back in 1902. His first mu-nicipal job was with the old Rapid

POLICE CALLS i

Police Pensions— The Old and the New

We've had a number of requests recently to describe, in simple terms, the background of the two Police pension systems

Here it is: Young men in the Police De-

partment (those who came into the force since April 1940) think tha t they have a powerful "beef" against the older members.

What galls them is the fact tha t there are two entirely dif-ferent pension plans for the Police Department uniformed men. Plan number 1, which includes the old-timers, calls for a salary contribu-tion of 5 percent for retirement af ter 25 years; a 6 percent con-tribution for 20 year retirement.

But by 1939, the City found it-self paying out four or five million dollars each year to make up the deficit in the Police Pension fund. The City didn't like tha t setup and. in effect, the Mayor gave this ultimatum to the cops: "Either you play ball and help figure out a new pension plan, or you'll be put on a pay-for-it-yourself basis."

Possibly with the idea that self-preservation is the first law of nature, the PEA was quick to give Its approval to what became Pen-sion Plan Number 2rwhich was to apply to men coming into the force

of these times! Because of the fact tha t it

grants an absolute preference to all veterans of any war and be-cause of the great number of vet-erans who are now in civil serv-ice or who will be in civil service af ter the war, this bill will just about wreck the merit system. Personnel standards, which have been raised slowly over a long period of years, will be flat tened; great inefficiency will result; thousands of experienced workers, denied any real opportunity to improve themselves via promotion, will be discontented and l)itter.

The Federal Government has passed a wiser and more just pref-erence law to benefit the veterans of this war without riding rough-shod over the rights of civil serv-ants.

The best way to combat this proposal is to offer a substitute which would treat both veterans and employees with justice. Such a bill should exclude veterans of other wars, who have already re-ceived generous treatment in the matter of jobs and preference; it erence graded according to length should provide some kind of pref-of service in the armed forces, decorations received, additional credit for overseas service, etc.; at the same time, the preference should not be so great as to pro-vide an impossible barrier to non-veterans. Disabled veterans should get absolute preference, but should be restricted to jobs where" their physical disability would not be a source of danger to other em-ployees or to the public; some jobs could be set aside entirely for dis-

Everytime he reports to work a'l the Municipal Building, he is re-minded of the old days, because one of the termintils of the f i rs t underground transit lines was right under the building.

In July, 1943, he was appointed chief clerk of the Department , where his long experience is a big help. He draws up reports for the Department, serves as per.sonal representative of tRe Commis-sioner, handles negotiations with other departments, and does any other jobs tha t happen to land <in his desk .

in the future. At a general PBA ballotihK

held 01. November 27. 1939 the members approved the proposed plan by a vote of 12,321 out of a total of 13,340.

The New Plan ^ ' Under the new plan, the ra te l'

of salary contribution is graduated , according the age of the new p a t - ' rolman, and the retirement option he picks. Top contribution coniw up to 18.35 percent of each pay-check for a new cop of 21, who wants to retire af ter 20 years, and also t a k e a d v a n t a g e of the Widow's and Orphan's benefits.

This plan was sealed by a local law, passed by the City Council on January 30, 1940, and went into effect on April 1 of tha t year. ;

At the time, the higher pension rates didn't seem so drastic, and the oldsters possibly didn't feel that they were putting too heavy a burden on future members ,of the force.

But then along came the high cost of living, and the 20 percent withholding tax, and there's the rub.

The pe,nsion setup constitutes one of the basic 'gripes" of the younger men on the force. Before the $420 went into effect, many of them said openly they just couldn't make a living on their salaries.

Sfafe Assn. Opposes Burton's Proposed Changes in Feld-Hamiiton Career Law OFFERS ITS OWN 4-POINT PLAN TO SAFEGUARD EMPLOYEES

i

In writing "The State Employee" as a regular weekly feature of The LEADER, Clifford C. Shoro discusses all 8M any matter* of interest to employees of the State of New York. He is writing this column with complete leeway to express his own views.

Policy Suggestions to the State Civil Service Comm, NOW IS T H E TIME to make the public service s t rong. Pos t -war

Is not f a r removed. Our S t a t e Civil Service Commission h a s spoken 'well on several occasions sis to its progressive ideals. I n a. recent address to the New York S ta t e Conference of Mayors, t he Pres ident .pf the Commission, J . Edward Conway, is quoted as emphasizing his conviction t h a t in no o ther b ranch of public service were t he oppor-tuni t ies for real contr ibut ions to ordered and efficient governmenta l •Service as great as in the adminis t ra t ion of t he mer i t system for t he r ec ru i tmen t and promotion of a sound public personnel.

T h e employees of the S t a t e of New York, organized in this Asso-•<;lation, have been telling th is to t he people of t h e S ta t e and succeeding S ta t e recrui t ing adminis t ra t ions for t h i r t y - fou r years and they a r e pleased t h a t the present Commissioft is so outspoken.

Efficent personnel is available only where t he h igh type of worker Is recognized by adequate remunera t ion for his work and where such r emunera t ion is properly made manda to ry in t he law. Other fac tors •favorable to employees mus t also be available.

Calling in the Employees. I T H I N K employees should insist t h a t the re is no group, h igh or

!ow, within t he confines of the S ta t e or elsewhere, who know more e b o u t New York S ta te government or more about wha t it needs to a s su re efficiency of admin is t ra t ion t h a n the civil service body. Unfo r -tuna te ly , th i s body is no t called upon voluntari ly for counsel in establ ishing civil service rules or in proposing civil service laws. I t eeems a wholesome and a sound plan, when seeking to Improve public personnel adminis t ra t ion , to call in to conference representa-tives of the civil service employees. Our Association has an Executive Commit tee composed of a s intelligent and patr iot ic citizens as sit in t h e councils of any body, political, economic or civic. They meet f requent ly . They are working S ta t e employees. T h e various profes-liions and skills a re represented in th is body. They are in touch cons tant ly with every employee problem.

T h e Association does not believe t h a t any h u m a n inst i tut ion may isroperly remain stat ic. I t believes t h a t the Civil Service Commission should be in the fo re f ron t in promoting, urging and applying progres-sive personnel adminis t ra t ion principles and policies. The Civil Service Law, in its entirety, is a responsibility and a concern of the Civil Service Commission. Such an agency cannot well sit on the sidelines of neu t ra l i ty nor indulge in a laissez fa i re policy when the mer i t system is a t tacked, nor can it fai l to urge re forms when they ^ re needed to preserve and enhance the mer i t system.

W h a t Can Be Done Now H E R E ARE some things which the Civil Service Commission can

d o and do now: Establish a p lan of contact with t he S ta t e Civil Service employee body and draw upon the vast resources of knowledge a n d experience available th rough the Association of S ta t e Civil Serv-ice Employees before mak ing rules and proposing personnel adminis -t r a t i on changes;

Safeguard the Career Service Law as now upon the s ta tu te books, Rnd which is th rea tened by proposed a m e n d m e n t s emana t i ng f r o m t h e Budget Division. This law was approved and supported by the Civil Service Reform Association and all active civic groups as well §s by the Civil Service Commission, when It was proposed an d passed in 1937. (Elsewhere on th is page, t he Association's appraisa l of Budget proposals for change are noted.) , Urge p rompt a d j u s t m e n t to adequate r a t e s of pay fo r ins t i tu-

t ional and o ther groups of employees; Explain and defend the meri t system publicly to prevent unlimited

ve terans preference or any other kind of preference which denies t h e citizen of the S ta t e the f ree open way of competit ive tests for public service regardless of par ty , race or religion; , Establish prompt ly def ini te sick leave, vacat ion and other hea l th

regulat ions as called for under the s ta tu te . T h e employees have made comprehensive recommendat ions as to this impor t an t m a t e r ;

Insist upon selection and appoin tment of personnel officers cnosen on t h e mer i t system plan in each depar tmen t , inst i tut ion a n d uni t of S t a t e government to assure t h a t the Civil Service law a n d rules are observed;

Take the lead in in-service t ra in ing programs. S ta te Employees Must Be Alert.

STATE EMPLOYEES must be especially alert a t th is t ime. There is t remendous significance in the present events for all those who labor. The advances made by labor since 1929 and its present s tanding iji the economic world, largely by reason of the legal power of col-lective bargaining, bring grave responsibility to labor leadership. T h e millions of workers in indust ry have a br ight f u t u r e under a govern-lAent sensitive to labor needs, an honest employer body and unl imited consumer demands . Collective bargaining will be the mains tay of a pe rmanen t ly sound solution of t he problem of adeguate scales of pay. S ta t e workers a re denied collective bargalnin, as are other public employees. They mus t depend upon manda to ry S ta t e laws protect ive of their tenure, pay, promotion, re t i rement . They need the suppor t of a vigorous Civil Service Commission.

Wi thout a policy on the p a r t of the Civil Service Commission of discussing civil service problems Involving laws and rules with responsible representat ives of t he civil service body before decisions a r e made, unsa t i s fac tory results have ensued in the past and doubtless would occur in t he fu tu re .

As Americans, we all owe m u c h to those who have saved America an the f ighting f ron t , the working f ron t and the political f ron t . Thei r mi l i ta ry victories will be In vain if civil government does not keep m c e with the needs and desires of society. I t would be a calamity i i the New York S ta te Civil Service Commission and the S ta te as a whole did not assume liberal leadership in post war p lann ing as to

ALBANY—Declaring that Budget Director John E. Burton's proposed revision of the Feld-Hamilton career law with its salary schedules would leave a "vacuum" permitting the rigging of salary rates, the Association of State Civil Service Employees has offered a four point program to safe-guard workers and still permit the "flexibility" that Mr. Burton demands.

Assn. Vet Aid Plan Already Proving Popular

ALBANY — M u c h interest has been evinced in the plan announced by the Association of S ta te Civil Service, to aid employee-veterans. ^.The Association is prepared to

render special service to the re-tu rn ing veteran who may have lost touch with civil service dur ing the t ime he (or she) was in uni form, or who has a special problem.

' Viewing assistance to veterans In establ ishing their re -employment a n d other r ights as a "serious con-ce rn" of the Association, the Exec-utive Committee Jias set up a spe-ciftl iu eAU td'lielp thief rfetitrntng

Requests Already Made T h e Association's office in Al-

I n a resolution signed by Presi-dent Cliflord C. Shoro, following adoption by the executive commit -tee, the Bur ton p lan is described as "a proposed a m e n d m e n t t h a t would remove both t he floor and t h e ceiling on salaries, leaving noth ing but a vacuum in which the Budget Director and the Salary Board could insert any salary ra te they may choose."

T h e Bur ton plan was h a n d e d to the Association a couple of weeks ago an d was then tu rned over to a special commit tee fo r s tudy. T h e result of t he commit -tee 's s tudy was re fer red to the Association's executive commit tee which this week adopted a resolu-t ion condemning the p lan and o f -fer ing an a l ternat ive . This was referred to t h e chap te r s of t he Association fo r the i r s tudy and comment .

Full Repor t Here Is the ful l repor t and reso-

lution as issued by Pres ident Shoro:

"The Pe ld-Haml l ton Career Law has been appropria te ly de-scribed as the Magna C h a r t a of Civil Service employees. We have, therefore , given very careful con-sideration to t h e proposed a m e n d -men t s suggested by Budget Direc-tor J o h n E. Bur ton on August 2, supplemented by his f u r t h e r ex-p lana t ion of August 22. The Ex-ecutive Committee, during its con-siderat ion of the proposal, h a s h ad the benefit of t he opinions of chap te r officers a n d members of the Association th roughout t he S ta te .

"While the proposed plan pre -serves the form, It destroys t he substance of the Career Law. T h e new schedule Is a schedule In n a m e only. I t Is so broad t h a t i t would be no th ing more t h a n a label for any salai-y ra te t he Sal -ary Board an d the Budget Direc-tor might select. The proposed a m e n d m e n t would surrender con-trol of salaries to t he vai'ylng pol-icies of successive Budget Direc-tors by el iminat ing t h e sa fe -guards which the Legislature im-posed to Insure t he cont inuance of a stable salary plan.

Hear t of Career. Law "The hea r t of the Career law

lies In the provisions for fixed min imum ra tes of pay and fixed Increments for sat isfactory serv-

ice, thereby establishing a wage floor and a wage ceiling fo r t h e great ma jo r i ty of S t a t e workers. The proposed a m e n d m e n t would remove both t h e floor and t h e cell-ing, leaving no th ing but a vacuum in which the Budget Director and the Board could insert any salary ra te they might choose.

Would Weaken Promot ion "The Budget Director 's criticism

of the Fe ld-Hami l ton law conta ins no specific f ac t s to suppor t his-conclusions. I n our opinion, his "difficulties" are due to his fa i lure to recognize essential employee sa feguards which are the very backbone of t he s t a tu t e and which cannot be removed wi thout emas-culat ing the Career law. T h e pro-posed repeal of t he existing sched-ules would confuse, weaken and l imit lines of promotion. The pro-posed 'variable increment s t ruc-ture ' would confer upon the Board and the Budget Director discre-t ion to give one group of employ-ees five increments while ano the r group per forming similar work might receive only th ree incre-men t s to a t t a in to t he same maxi -mum.

"There were no 'difficulties' when the Fe ld -Hami l ton law be-came applicable to the depar t -men ta l service in 1938. I t can be applied to the ins t i tu t ional service with equal success if the same principles are followed. The adop-tion of the proposed amendmen t would destroy confidence in the career system.

Would Nullify Law "We believe t h a t the proposed

amendmen t would nul l i fy t he f u n d a m e n t a l principles of the Fe ld-Hami l ton law and t h a t it should be vigorously opposed by the Association with every re -source we possess.

"Our opposition to the proposed a m e n d m e n t is based on our con-viction t h a t t he Fe ld-Hami l ton law is f undamen ta l l y sound and t h a t any s i tuat ion can be met by minor amendments . Amendments have been made in t he pas t and the following suggestions are now being considered by the Associa-t ion for submission to the next session of the Legislature:

—A-new schedule for N.S. posi-t ions which have never been

rector t h a t the extension of the Career law to N.S. positions is de-sirable and we have long advo-cated this proposal. I t should be accomplished, however, by the addit ion of a simple schedule — not by the vir tual repeal of the ent i re law.

All Jobs Can Be Fi t ted In "No specific case has been call-

ed to our a t ten t ion where existing positions cannot be f i t ted Into es-tabished schedules. I n every case the appel lants before the S t a n d -ardizat ion Board have asked for an allocation to a specific sched-ule which is sa t is factory to them. We believe t h a t each case should be considered on Its merits . If exsting schedules are Inadequate for any par t icu la r position, they can be amended or new grades can be inserted without impar ing basic Pe ld-Hami l ton principles. We ma in t a in t h a t a m e n d m e n t s should be made only when the need is "demonstrated a n d t h a t they should be limited to specific positions where t h a t need can be shown. We are unwilling, how-ever, to go along with the Budget Director 's proposed a m e n d m e n t which, in our opinion, would wipe out the outs tanding advances t h a t have been made under t he Career law."

Are You Thinking of Resigning?

I P YOU ARE a competit ive class employee a n d expect to resign f r o m your S t a t e job wi th the idea of applying for r e ins t a t emen t some t ime in the fu tu re , you would do well to bear t h e follow-ing rules and rul ings in m ind :

1—Although your resignat ion Is ent irely discret ionary wi th

you, your r e ins ta t ement a f t e r res-ignat ion is entirely discret ionary with your appoint ing officer.

—Your r e i n s t a t e m e n t , if g ran ted , may be a t t he same

salary you earned a t the t ime of resignation, provided the money is available. The position you vacate need no t be held open. A year a f t e r your resignation, t he salary for your position may have been reduced in the budget to t h e min imum of the grade.

—You m a y be re ins ta ted, in t he discretion of the appoint ing

off icers Involved, e i ther to your old position or a s imilar posit ion in your old d ep a r tm en t or in a n -other depar tment . However, you mus t have been eligible for t r a n s -fer to t h e position in the o ther d ep a r tm en t in order to be eligible fo r r e ins ta tement there . I n a s -much as t r ans fe r s are no t pe r -mi t ted where someone's promotion r ights a r e effected, r e ins ta tement will not be allowed to cut off pro-motion r igh ts in ano the r depa r t -men t .

4—If 3^u obtain re ins ta tement , your seniority, f o r purposes of

promotion and lay-off , will be f ig -ured f r o m the da te of re ins ta te -m e n t only. You will receive no credit f o r service prior to such re ins ta tement . Th is m e a n s you will lose your eligibUity for a p -pointment f r o m a n y promot ion list upon which your n a m e ap -peared prior to your resignat ion. Siurthermore, if a promot ion ex-^ i n a t i o n is announced soon a f t e r your r e ins ta t ement and requires six m o n t h s or a year of service in your grade, you will be ineli-gible to compete if you have no t served t h a t long a f t e r re ins ta te -

men t . —Your re ins ta tement a f t e r res-

ignat ion, in order to be valid, must t ake place within one year a f t e r your resignat ion. This t ime may be extended under cer ta in conditions.

If you resign in order to t ake a n exempt , non-compet i t ive or unclassified position a n d you serve continuously in such posi-tion, t hen you m a y be restored to your old competit ive class posi-t ion or to a similar position ev^n a f t e r a year ha s passed since your resignat ion.

—If you began active service In t he mil i tary or nava l forces

of t he United S ta tes or the S t a t e of New York dur ing t h e year fol-lowing your resignation, t hen the t ime within which you m u s t be re ins ta ted is extended. T ime spent in such mil i tary or nava l service is no t considered in comput ing the period of one year dur ing which you mus t be re ins ta ted. For example, if you have been out on resignation for six m o n t h s when you enter the Army or Navy, you still have six m o n t h s a f t e r your discharge in which to seek re ins ta t ement regardless of t he length of your mil i tary or naval service.

I t should be noted t h a t you are no t enti t led to a mil i tary leave of absence or to m a n d a t o r y re ins ta te -m e n t under the New York S ta t e Mil i tary Law if you enter t h e a rmed forces after a resignation. Such r ights are g ran ted to public employees only and you forfe i t t h e m when you resign f rom pub-lic Service.

7—If you Intend to seek re in-s t a t emen t fo r a payroll period

only, in order to m a i n t a i n tjrv privilege of r e tu rn ing to your po-sit ion somet ime in t he f u t u r e you s t and a good chance of being dis-appointed. Las t year t he Budget Division expressed i ts opposition to th is type of t empora ry re in -s t a t emen t fo r the sole convenience of t h e employee and issued the following s t a t e m e n t of policy:

"Hereaf te r , it will be t he policy to consider requests for re ins ta te -

m e n t only under a condition t h a t the employee desires p e r m a n e n t employment unless i t can be clearly demons t ra ted t h a t it will be to the advan tage of a D e p a r t -m e n t to utilize the individual 's services for a shor te r period. If given p e r m a n e n t r e in s t a t emen t and the employee proposes to r e -sign a f t e r a shor t period, he should be interviewed wi th respect to t h e reasons for such a resignat ion a n d if i t is found t h a t t he condit ions p rompt ing his act ions were a c -tual ly in existence a t the t ime the request fo r r e ins ta tement was submit ted, no fu tu r e requests on the pa r t of the employee for f u r -ther r e ins ta t ement should be e n -ter ta ined.

"Notwi ths tanding any exceptions to t he rule requiring the approval of the Budget Division for the f i l l -ing of vacancies, all appointment® t h a t seiTe fo r a n employee's r e in -s t a t emen t and which are not pe r -m a n e n t will require t h e approval of this office."

Surplus War Property—Local Government Woe By ALBERT PLEYDELL

Commissioner of Purchase, City of New York

Local government approaches the post-war period with its physical plant run down and

worn out. Even c r i t i c a l facilities have not been main-tained properly because of the inability to obtain needed sup-plies, materials and equipment. I t faces a much more serious problem of repair, obsolescence, and deferred construction in the post-wat period t h a n it did dur-ing the depression.

Rising prices have made it nec-essary for local government to continue spending at pre-war rates for diminished war-t ime quantities. Federal financial aid will be necessary to help pay for local government's new public works projects Intended to ab-sorb the post-war unemployed. Of more immediate concern, is the necessity for rebuilding and revitalizing the physical plant— now with supplies, materials, and equipment no longer nec-essary in the war effort . Not federal aid In money, but aid in kind, Is needed, because the run

down plant of local government will retard successful post-war ad jus tment by business and the civilian population.

Wise Distribution Needed The wise distribution of sur-

plus war property as it becomes avaiable can make local govern-ment a greater asset to the post-war economy. Wise distribution requires: (1) Establishment of proper administrative machinery in the Surplus War Property Ad-ministrat ion to enable effective coordination of the requirements of states, political subdivisions of States, tax-supported insti tu-tions, and other public agencies; and effective centralization of actual disposal to such agencies; (2) Priority in the disposition of surplus property, a f te r the needs of the federal agencies have been cared for, to public agencies; (3) Delivery for use, under appropi-ate safeguards, to local govern-ment.

Baruch Recommended This is not a new idea. The

Baruch Report recommended a

Surplus Property Policy Board "to plan for the handling of f u -ture surpluses; as f a r as possi-ble organizihg the demand for such surpluses in advance, as for foreign relief and rehabilitation: for state, counties and muni-cipalities; educational and other institutions: and other claim-ants ." (italics theirs) Public Agencies Have Hard Time

This was common sense ad-vice when Messrs. Baruch and Hancock gave it ; it Is still com-mon sense. I t has been followed by the government 's disposal agencies. Although the present practices of some of the dis-posal agencies .allegedly give property to non-federal public agencies, t he fac t Is t h a t it is practically impossible for pub-lic agences to acquire surpluses under existing conditions.

There has been no organized effor t to determine the needs of l o c a l governmental agencies.

There is no unified plan for disseminating information con-cerning pending sales of sur-pluses. The price policies t h a t are now in effect frequently would result in higher payments for surpluses bought "as is, where is" t h a n the prices prevailing in

A WeU'Known Adminisfrafor States a Worry Which Now Concerns Depart" ments and Agencies in All CommunitieSg From the Largest to the Smallest.

t he open market for the same or similar items.

Price DifTerential The prices established by the

federal disposal agencies are based upon war- inf la ted costs. The real differential is greater t h a n appears on the surface be-cause the prices are f. o. b. shipp-ping point whereas governmental agencies usually buy f. o. b. deliv-ery point.

The present system of selling surpluses places local govern-ment in competition with junk dealers and speculators. This Is grossly unfa i r to local tax-payers who have already paid once for these surpluses. If there is to be any profi t made on the disposal of the surpluses, tha,t profit should be made by the taxpayers and not the junk dealers .

The Senate recognized t h a t local government requires special consideration when it passed Senate Bill 2065. This measure provides for the donation of surplus educational and medical supplies and equipment. I t also provides for the determinat ion of the needs of local government and the prior claims of these agencies on available surpluses. The companion bill passed by t he House gives no recognition w h a t -soever to t he needs of local gov-ernment for the war surpluses. The two bills are now in com-mittee

If a ma jo r scandal is to be avoided, Congress must provide for the needs of local government and not force these agencies to obtain war surpluses via spec-ulators and junk dealers.

Rome.N.Y., Mayor Tells About His Post-War Plans

How a small community can go about planning its fu ture and providing work for its residents is explained in a letter which Mayor John C. Schantz of Rome. N. Y., has written The LEADER.

The editors considers the letter of such interest, t ha t we print it in full:

VfaterMain Systems—Ills and Remedies By C. L. WRIGHT

Not so many years ago, the mere suggestion tha t a city's water mains were incrusted with iron or other foreign material affect-ing water or the carrying capacity of the lines was oftentimes scoffed at by water works operators.

Today water department super-visors and engineers, with very few exceptions, are well aware t ha t

This Is one type of wafer-pro-pelled scraper for cleaning mains.

mains lose their effectiveness in service. They ai'e constantly on the alert for signs of incrustation or growth in the mains. They know tha t reduced capacity of mains means increased flre haz-ards, less flow and pressure in consumers' lines and increased operating costs.

W a t e r c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s vary greatly in different par ts of the United States—being soft or hard, active or inactive—and with very different effects on the interior of

water mains. In many instances chemical t rea tment of raw water pievents or re tards corrosion. But regardless of diameter and wheth-er the pipe iJ of steel or cast iron, water mains carrying active water will often be reduced in carrying capacity by corrosion because of chemical action. Loss of capacity may also be caused by incrusta-tion or silting. Most lines now in service are tar-coated or dipped and suffer corrosive action, since these coatings deteriorate. Pipe coatings now in use will re tard chemical action. Cement linings, also a more or less recent develop-ment , effectively prevent corro-sion.

Types of Cleaning Incrustations, growths and silt

can be removed and capacities re-stored by mechanical or by chem-ical cleaning methods. So far , the so-called "inhibited acids" for chemical cleaning are not gener-ally used.

Mechanical cleaning can be ac-

pelled scrapers cannot be used, a cable is passed though the main, the ;^raping unit a t tached and in -serted into the line, the water is turned on and the machine pulled through by means of a windlass. A certain amount of water is a l -lowed to pass the scraping uni t in order to carry ahead of it the dirt and incrustations which have been cut f rom the pipelining and ground up by the scraper. The water and sediment and cleanings are carried to the street surface through a riser pipe. When the op-eation is completed the water ia shut off, the riser pipe removed and the main a t tha t point re-connected.

The total time required for shut -off of water in any district is five to seven hours. In an emergency the pipe can be temporarily made up and service quickly resumed. In business districts the work is often done at night.

Clean Mains — Better Pressure Where demands for increased

supply of water or more pressure

Here's an Article of Special Interest to Employees and Officials of Water Supply, Sanitation, and Public Works Departments

also those who have served in the armed forces of the United States. I t is hoped and planned tha t every person serving in the armed forces will be able to pick up their former position of occu-pation when they return.

"We are in accord with the idea of a publication providing an ex-change of ideas between officials and municipalities especially at this time when most every city Is planning for the Post War Period and the officials t ime is so taken up they do not have the time for personal contacts. I think it is a step in the right di-rection and will be happy if wi' can contribute through the sug-festons and programs outlined."

complished by forcing a scraping unit through the pipe, dragging the scraper through by cable and winch or using the water itself to force the unit through the pipe. Or it can be done by means known as use of revolving rods and centrifugal knoqkers. The effec-tiveness of the latter method de-pends upon the integrity of the operator.

The mechanical method of cleaning requires tha t the pipe "be opened in two places — for en-trance and exit of the scraping unit. After the scraper is inserted the pipe is made up and the water turned on to the proper pressure and volume to give the scraper the required rate of travel through the main. In cases where water-pro-

and volume for fire fighting must be met it is often found tha t the existing mains, if cleaned, would be adequate. The city or town can be saved large expenditures by adopting a water main cleaning program since the costs for labor and materials necessary for such a program are but a small f r ac -tion of those for replacing mains, even though it might be necessary to reclean the lines at intervals to maintain needed capacities.

To summarize: the cleaning of water mains insures—

1—Greater carrying capacity 2—Lower pumping costs 3—Improved pressure 4—Cleaner water 5—Lower insurance rates.

St. Louis Planning Hospitals, Sewers, Waterworks

The voters of St. Louis approved a bond issue of $43,527,000 to supplement f imds already re -served for 165 projects estimated to provide 23,100,000 man hours for returning war veterans and workers discharged by industrial p lants no longer operating on contracts for military supplies and equipment.

Eleven proposals were sub-mitted to St. Louis' voters and specific appropriations were ap-proved providing for a new m a -jor airport, hospital Improve-ments, increased fire protection facilities, sewer construction, street improvements and new zoo facilities. $3,350,000 is now pro-vided for expansion of city hos-pitals a new sanitarium, the Negro Hospital, a city infirmary and a hospital for the tubercular. Second in importance in t he minds of voters as reflected by the ratio of votes of approval, was an $800,000, bond issue for flre protection. Sewer construc-tion ran a close third with $7,-957,000, and provision was made for $7,800,000 street improve-ments, $2,200,000 for a flre-police electric alarm system, $7,500,000 for waterworks extensions.

Not pretty, certainly, but part of an Insane killer's confession of three crimes. Change the date line and you have a standing news item read almost from day today in New York. Houston, Kankakee or Kansas City.

Note the phrase "dark street." Had there been adequate light-ing of the street, park or free-way, the at tack undoubtedly would not have occurred.

Increase in Accidents In peacetime 60 per cent of

all t raffic accidents occurred af-ter daik when only one-third of the t raff ic was moving. In 1941 there were 7,500 fatal accidents on 30,000 miles of main t raff ic streets of which 5,000 happened a t night.

In the eight years from 1930 through 1938 rural pedestrian fatalities increased 43 per cent, while rural non-pedestrian f a -talities increased 8 per cent. According to Chief Traffic En-gineer Harry Neal of Ohio, one half of all rural pedestrian ac-

year by turning off residential lighMng at 11 p. m The first night 20 additional homes were robbed.

As part of tiie overall pic-ture of postwar planning, the National Interregional Highway Committee appointed by the President has a.sked for the con-.structlon of 33,920 miles of super-highways to give jobs to 2,000,000 and to link 587 cities. The state highway officials lined up solidly behind comprehensive programs of work and many cities moved their postwar plans from the design rooms to council hoppers. Portland, and some other cities went even fur ther , appropriated money for a vast renovation, awaiting the "go signal."

In keeping with advices from Washington, between the col-lapse of Germany and the death of Japan, there will be some in-crease in works construction on all three levels city, state and federal, but the real spurt will come after the Rising Sun sets.

Now as the war apparently ap-proaches a climax, there is every reason to believe tha t increased revenue will come from new busi-ness along streets and highways

Death strikes suddenly for the man changing the tire. Note that the man In the picture on the left, although 200 feet ahead of the camera. Is not discernible. The tire-changer on the right Is perfectly safe and can be seen easily by the motorist more than 500 feet away, because

the lighting Is adequate.

cidents for 1942 occured between 6 p. m. and midnight and 75 per cent between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.

Good Lighiine: Helps Before the war, such early

prophets of a l>etter day for properly lighted streets as the City of Detroit, af ter innovating modernized lighting on certain main throughfares, where the accident rate had been ex-traordinarily high, reduced dusk-to-dawn fatalities m o r e than 83 per cent on those streets.

Then came the war. Such phrases as "staggered hours" and "multi-shift operations" became as much a part of the new lexi-con as Harry James' "sweet trumpliet" and Frank Sinatra's "bobby socks brigade."

War plants sprung up over-night. In increasing numbers war workers and soldiers be-came more and more exposed to night t raff ic hazard."?: The general public, despite driving curtailment, was not immune.

Then came the dimouts, black-outs and brownouts, bringing home to the people their de-pendence on visibility for safety both on and off the job.

Poor Lighting and Crime As some cities "economized"

on their street lighting, petty thefts, attacks and juvenile del-inquency leaped like the barom-eter af ter the Oklahoma tornado.

Poor lighting set the stage when one Wisconsin city, for ex-ample, decided to save $3,200 a

which are adequately lighted, new communities established and a subsequent increase in all modes of passenger and com-mercial traffic. Further em-phasis will result from new de-signs in street, road and auto-mobile construction. Axiomat-ically the new tempo of speed will demand new safety measures, prominent among which will be proper luminaires. The new lighting will mean new business revenue far in excess of light-ing costs plus other financial, moral and civic dividends

A reasonable postwar expecta-tion will be tha t when the in-creased revenue as a result of lighting exceeds lighting costs there is a net cash profit in addition to the profits* in saved life, limb and property.

Would Create Work To paraphrase A. M. Foster,

business analyst: "Street and highway intallations would create work. Thousands of men would be needed for installing, hun-dreds needed for maintenance and more thousands of gasoline station operators, restaurant help, street and roadside owners and innumerable others would be given jobs because of it . - "There is one of the interest-ing things about lighting high-ways as well as hitherto dark streets: Where it is used, t raff ic increases by leaps and bounds and, as traffic, increases so does the demand for more and better service."

What Public Servants Can Offer Private Industry

By GERTRUDE MAGILL RUSKIN, LL.B., M.P.A.

Never in the history of this country has the impact of Gov-ernment control and regulation on private industry been so great as it has in the past few years. Most businessmen, watching in-surmountable piles of regula-tions gathering on their desks, have taken refuge in the services of consultants—lawyers, account-ants, tax counsel, and others. More published services, inter-preting every government regu-lation and order known to man, have been purchased by men in private industry in the last few years than ever before.

Must Call in Experts In effect, however, this frenzied

activity is little more than a stop-gap. For the businessman must .recognize tha t the oaly way in whluh to witli th9 prob-

The author of this article has sat on both sides of the desk as business executive in private industry and as pub-lic administrator. There is profitable food for thouffht in the thesis "Public Admin-istration in Private Industry."

lem of government control and regulation is to call into service experts in public administration as well as experts in taxes, law, and accounting.

For many years, public admin-istration has been developing as a scientific technique of govern-ment.

But there is still, af ter all these years, a fleld in which the value of public administration t iaining ia p r^ t i ca l ly unluiowo

County, Town and Village

Problems Troubling Local Administrators

A QUERY frequently raised by town and county officials in New York State is:

"May a county civil service commission reclassify a posi-tion as exempt or non-competitive af ter it had classified the position as competitive either by express action or by failing to change Ita classification originally"? A com-mission may reclassify a position at any time, with the approval of the State Civil Service Depart-ment, provided the action of the Commission conforms with the constitutional requirement of ex-amination wherever practicable. For example, suppose the county commission originally believed tha t the post of village clerk prop-erly belonged in the competitive class. Later the commission finds tha t competitive examination is not practicable for filling the posi-tion. The commission with the ap-proval of the State Civil Service Commission could then reclassify the position as non-competitive if a qualifying examination is prac-ticable or in the exempt class if no examination is practicable a t all.

* « »

"HAS THE COMMISSION au-thority to fix the salary of any employee '? This question pops up over and over again. The question arises from the authority of the commission to fix the minima and maxima salary grades of po-sitions. This does not, however, give the commission power to fix the salary of any employee. The power to fix the salary of any em-ployee is vested in the head of de-par tment subject to control by the fiscal authorities.

By grading of positions the com-mission may prevent an employee from being paid a salary beyond the maximum of the grade of his position. The commission would requiie the holding of a promotion examination for filling the higher grade position. Beyond this, the commission has no authority to fix the salai'y of any employee within its jurisdiction other than em-ployees on its own staff.

* • *

"TO WHAT EXTENT may em-ployees now covered by the Fite Law engage in political activity"? The civil servce law does not pro-hibit any one from engaging in political activity. The law does prohibit any officer or employee from soliciting or collecting polit-ical campaign contributions from employees in the service. This ap-plies to all classes of employees, whether competitive, exempt, la-bor. etc., as well as elective and appointive heads of departments.

These are only a few of the problems tha t ha^e "confounded" our local administrators. There are many others still worrying them. No wonder they are still sitting at tlieir desks with furrow-ed brows scratching their heads.

and unrecognized. I t is the field of private industry. I am indulg-ing in no Chestertonian para-doxes when I say tha t the rela-tionship between public admin-istration and private industry is a very intimate one and that it is an area which has been neg-lected not only by business but also by leaders in the field of public administration.

Science of Government But I do believe tha t it is not

enough to read a regulation and determine what one's rights aLd responsibilities are under it. In my opinion, the problem is more far-reaching in tha t it involves a knowledge of the science of government. Such knowledge in-cludes understanding of govern-mental functions, of the atti tude of government personnel, of the objectives sought by the govern-ment agency i^jsuing the regula-tions, of the structure of such agencies, and last but by f a r most important, understanding of what it is tha t the govern-ment agency expects to get from private industry in the way of performance and information.

This knowledge and under-standing cannot be secured mere-ly by reading the regulations and interpreting them. I t comes only from direct experience in a government agency or inten-sive, scientific study of public ad-ministration. The trial and error method may, af ter long and painful use result in the necessary understanding. But

increment period in each grade, if the ra t ings are sat isfactory, t he employees could be automatical ly advanced f rom Grade 1 to Grade 2.

"(3) I n connection with promo-tion to Grade 3, a general course should be given prior to the ex-pira t ion of the last increment in Grade 2 on such subjects as super-vision and o ther per t inent sub-jects per ta in ing to t he par t icu lar grade; and if the employees suc-cessfully pass this course, they automatical ly would go into Grade 3.

"From the above you will note t h a t there is a tendency to elim-ina te the over-all examinat ions wherein seniority and service r a t -ings count 50% an d also reduces the n u m b e r of employees who are qualified and efficient workers but not adept a t taking general ex-aminat ions .

"(4) T h a t in the 4th Grade and Adhiinistrative Grades , special courses be given on supervision and on subjects of advanced supervision, adminis t ra t ion , etc. The subjects should be over-all coverage of advanced govern-jnen ta l requirements and admin-istrat ion. So t h a t there will be opportunit ies in all agencies for those qualified in t he 4th Grade and adminis t ra t ive positions, city-wide lists should be established and not depar tmen ta l lists. Th is would offer promotional oppor-tuni t ies in all agencies in city de-par tments , and f u r t h e r would re-quire each depar tment , wi th t he jyd of t he Budget Director 's office and Civil Service Commission, to classify the positions in the re -spective depa r tmen t s ; t hus a t all t imes those positions ra ted as 4th Grade and adminis t ra t ive would be kept in tac t and filled by eli-gible people.

" I t was recommended t h a t changes be made in holding pro-motion examinat ions . Qualified employees of proved ability and experience who fai l to pass a pro-motion examinat ion lose interest in the i r work, and the City is de-prived of the knowledge and ex-

perience they possess. Shoaldn^ Be Dlsqualifled

" I t is r a t h e r f a r - f e t c h e d to be-lieve t h a t employees who, in some cases, get above s t anda rd ra t ings on the Jobs assigned to them, should be disqualified to advance for fa i lure to pass an examina t ion for the next g rade when t h a t ex-amina t ion calls for only 50% of the ent i re mark .

" I t was fel t t h a t th is communi -cat ion be submit ted to you for basic discussion, an d t h a t w h a t -ever mer i t the re may be in t h e above would serve as a basis for f u r t h e r considerat ion and possibly giving the Civil Service Commis-sion some definite ideas t h a t may be of value."

The LEADER will be pleased to hea r f r o m other City officials and employees.

Among the points made by one of the proponents of t h e plan is t h a t it would be economical, since i t wouldn' t always be necessary to hold a test in order to f ind some-one for an advanced position.

Then there are such cases as t h a t of t he G r a d e 1 clerk who took th ree promotion tests to grade 2, an d fai led them all. He was considered a reliable, capable worker by his superiors, well worthy of advancement to the h igher grade. After t he th i rd fai lure, he got so disgusted he th rew up the job. Later , he filed for the position of pa t ro lman , a n d did very well on the examinat ion.

View of Older Employee Another angle is this : An em-

ployee on the job for a consider-able length of t ime h a s no incen-tive. Moreover, as he gets older, he can ' t compete on wri t ten ex-amina t ions with younger men and women jus t out of high school or college—even though his experi-ence makes h im a desirable em-ployee for the h igher grade.

Some officials evaluate experi-ence on the job as more i m p o r t a n t t h a n any other fac tor .

This vievirpoint is contradicted, however, by one City Commis-sioner who holds th is view: " I certainly don ' t wan t to be com-pelled to promote some of t h e older, i n - a - r u t employees above the younger persons with brains . I don ' t th ink length of service

ought to be a cri ter ion fo r promo-tion. J u s t the reverse. T h e f ac t t h a t a m a n h a s been in one grade fo r 10 or more years indicates he h a s n ' t got w h a t it takes t o hold down a h igher position. Bra ins is t he most valuable th ing in de te r -mining responsibility. I wan t to make sure t h a t t h e m a n who gets promoted has the bra ins to solve the problems t h a t go with t he h igher job."

Blames the Testii Another official, who regret ted

to see one of his employees fa i l t he recent clerk grade 4 test, blamed test ing procedure. "I need t h a t m a n , " he said, " in the grade 4 spot. Bu t the »5xamina-tion procedure is such t h a t I have to pu t a m a n in the spot who I th ink is less capable of holding i t ."

Higher Pay, Lower Grade A civil service official made th is

suggestion: " T h e whole problem is no t one of promotion a t all, but of salary increases. If a n em-ployee isn ' t fit to hand le a h igher -grade job, t hen he shouldn ' t be promoted to it, no m a t t e r how long he 's been in service. However, length of service certainly should give an employee a higher salary. The present 4- increment system is too narrow. If a person has been a grade 1 clerk for 10 years, he should ea rn more t h a n a per-son who has been a grade 1 clerk four yeais . Length of service should be accompanied by higher salary, because a person assumes heavier personal responsibilities as he gets older. This p lan would also provide the incentive which is sorely lacking now."

Asked wha t he would do when the salary of a lower grade be-came higher t h a n the salary of the next h igher grade, th is official answered: " I don ' t consider it a problem. Let the salaries over-lap! T h e impor tan t th ing is t h a t you will be providing bet ter pay in accordance with length of serv-ice, which would please t h e em-ployee; and a t the same time, you would avoid gett ing a possibly-incompetent employee with long service in a h igher -grade job— which would please the adminis -t r a to r .

Seen and Heard In Vet Agency

With the heading "Do You Have Any of These Problems?", a list of common employee diffi-culties makes s tudy mater ia l for supervisory employees of Veterans Adminis t ra t ion 's New York Office.

Twenty-s ix d i f ferent ^ypes of personnel problems make up the "Vet's." list, and the suggestion fo r a solution is a bet ter t ra ined s taff .

Here is the l ist : Employees not sure wha t is ex-

pected—slow in gett ing s ta r ted . Too much lef t for employee's as-

sumpt ion . Employees careless about their

work. Lack desire to excel on the job. Th ink they can "make out" better

on ano the r job. Quit a f t e r a short t ime on the job. Don' t "get the h a n g " of their jobs

—don' t "come through." Have difficulty in gett ing out the

work load. S t anda rds not in terpre ted ^ i -

formly. Employees don ' t unders tand all

the changes in procedure. Employees get discouraged learn-

ing the job. Errors not discovered unti l it is

too late. Papers not routed properly. Work re turned because it does not

meet requirements . Too much work has to be done

over. Some mater ia ls not filed properly. Work is delayed because of con-

fusion. Employee inclined to do the work

his way. Too much "guessing" on the pa r t

of the employee. Peel there is little chance to get

ahead . Bott lenecks develop when old em-

ployees leave. Lack needed work skills. Too much t ime needed to t ra in

employees. Too much "trouble shooting." Desks and work places too con-

gested. Careless housekeeping; work place

poorly airanged.

Marketing— A Posf-War Career

Successful par t ic ipat ion in the new order of marke t ing requires something more on the pa r t of an individual t h a n h a p h a z a r d and undirected experience. T h e complexity of modern business requires research into consumers ' needs and desires, the test ing of advertising and other appeals, the study of package design and units of sale, t he working out of methods for the physical dis-t r ibut ion of product or m e r c h a n -dise, and the de terminat ion of the pi'obable react ions to psychologi-cal stimuli.

What Public Employees Can Offer

ne i ther government nor indus-t ry can spare the t ime an d money f o r such a p ragmat ic approach to the problem.

Businessmen Need Public Employees

My thesis t h a t pr ivate indus-t r y needs personnel t ra ined in .public adminis t ra t ion , is based o n years of s tudy of public ad -minis t ra t ion , on years of observa-t ion in the government service a n d in pr ivate Industry. As a •government employee, I have seen the m a n y ways in which pr iva te Indus t ry can come to grief in relat ion to government control and regulat ion. As a n em-ployee in private industry , I have seen the excellent resul ts

- t ha t can be obtained, the smooth-ness with which the govemmen t -

- indus t ry re la t ionship can f u n c -t ion when pr ivate indus t ry u n -ders tands wha t is needed, gives

• icomplete compliance, and tells t h e whole story when i n fo rma-t ion is requested. - Most business f i rms are m a k -ing an hones t a t t e m p t to com-ply with government regulat ions.

-They no longer go on the as-sumpt ion t h a t government offi-cials a re fools to be led by the

-nose or bribed or disregarded. Nor do m a n y of them try by con-cealment to "get away with

. someth ing . " I t is only t h a t they do not realize t h a t t he solution to their " r ed - t ape" troubles lies

.an the science of public admin i -s t ra t ion itself; in the t eam work between the public admin i s t r a -

. 'tion expert and the other experts in their own offices.

When busmessmen employing .experts will ask not only how m u c h experience they have in the i r respective fields of sjjeciali-zat ion but also how m u c h ' t r a i n -ing and experience in public ad -minis t ra t ion . and when t h e schools will offer well- integrated

" courses in public adminis t ra t ion designed specifically fo r pr ivate

. indus t ry , m u c h of t he fr ic t ion which exists between government ^ n d pr ivate industry today will be el iminated.

Postal Men Want Better Overtime Setup

Postal Carr iers came out with their f inancia l demands a t t he re-cently concluded S ta t e Convention of the National Association of Let -te r Carriers.

W h a t they want is t i m e - a n d - a -half overtime, f igured on t h e basis of 253 days a year, and a pe rma-nen t $400 increase in place of the present bonus which expires on J u n e 30. 1945.

According to repor ts a t the con-vention, about 300 members of Congress have pledged themselves to support t h e Weiss Overt ime Bill which would make t h e change in overt ime ra tes ; and hear ings will be scheduled before the House in the near f u tu r e . However, if the House should a d j o r n on October 1, as now planned, nothing much will be done a t th is session.

T h e p e r m a n e n t increase drive is scheduled fo r 1945. T h e postal men feel t h a t the new Congress may be more inclined to g ran t t he raise, and t h a t changing condi-tions may make it necessary to ask more t h a n the $400 which is called for in the Mead-O'Brien bills now before t he legislators.

Heading the delegates f r o m the metropol i tan area were Charles Dillon, of Brooklyn, president Branch 41, Nat ional Association of Let ter Carriers, a n d Emanue l Kushelewitz, pesident of New York's B ranch 36.

Over 150 delegates a t t ended the S ta te meet ing and reelected the present slate of officers: George W. Goldsworthy, president , of New-a r k ; Elmer Seibert , vice-president of Buffa lo; Herber t Gebha rd t , sec-re tary , of Yonkers; a n d Harold Pennock, teasurer , of Syracuse.

All Workers—Read This! It's a Message From Your Government

As the war against Japan rises in tempo, the United States this week issued one of its most urgent calls for workers. It needs them to speed the war work that's done in the West Coast shipyards. And it needs them where it c ^ g e t them.

Tlfclre a re lots of men and women with the necessary qual l-flcations in t he New York area . T h e United S ta tes Civil Service C o m m i s s i o n has asked T h e LEADER to help in recrui t ing as m a n y of these people as are able to go out to the Coast.

How long Will t he woilc last? The best answer which T h e LEADER was able to get f rom re-sponsible officials Is t h a t It Is likely to las t a year a t least, and possibly longer. Of course, t h e length of the war against J a p a n will be the Impor tan t fac tor . Bu t It Is safe to say t h a t In any case t he jobs will last longer t h a n in m a n y es tabl ishments in the East . Persons who have got ten t ra in ing in these jobs should definitely apply.

Is it possible to get a s t a t emen t of availability? Men now a t work In p lan ts which are no longer ex-pand ing and which may have some r e t r enchmen t shouldl f ind li t t le difficulty in get t ing a re -lease. I n t he final analysis, t he W a r Manpower Commission will de termine who gets a release, and the WMC considers these West Coast jobs mighty impor t an t to-ward the progress of t he war .

Livinir Conditions How about living condit ions?

I n all cases, you will be provided in advance with a s t a t emen t tel l-ing you w h a t you m a y expect by way of housing, living costs, com-

mun i ty services. And in most cases, these are good. Thus , t h e U. S. Naval Air S ta t ion in Ala-meda, California, repor ts :

" T h e r e are new an d m o d e m grade schools located nea r the housing development wi th in easy walking dis tance for chi ldren. Nurseries are available. Churches are available for persons of all fa i ths . "

There are good facilit ies bo th for single m e n and for families.

T h e work-week Is 48 hours . The Government will pay your t r anspor ta t ion to the Coast. If you go by t r a in or bus. your meals will be paid for , too.

Please Apply! All persons who feel they migh t

like to learn more about these jobs a re urged to communica te Imme-diately with Room 540, Uni ted S ta tes Civil Service Commission, Second Regional Office, 641 W a s h -ing ton Street , New York City. Do it a t once! Below is a listing of the openings: ,
