Revolutionary Testing Plan
Proposed for U.S. Jobs
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
W A SHINGTON, Dec. 20 — A
revo lutio nary civil service ex am ­
in a tio n p la n will be proposed by
th e Hoover Com m ission working
on reo rg an izatio n of th e F ederal
governm ent.
Convinced t h a t p rese n t p ro ­
cedures h av e n o t b ro u g h t th e best
flt people in to governm ent service,
th e Com m ission will propose a
p lan whose basic fea tu re s will also
have a n im p o rta n t bearing on th e
subject of v e te ra n preference.
H ere’s how th e p la n would work:
In ste a d of th e p rese n t type of
exam ination, a p titu d e tes'bs would
be held, sup plem ented by details
abou t th e a p p lic a n t’s background
a n d train in g . T h e tests would
show w h at type of job th e ap p lic­
a n t would fill, a n d h e could be
directed to a n y one of a n um ber
of jo b4y pes available in various
agencies. •
U ngraded Tests
Now th e big gim m ick: T ests
would n ot be graded as now. T he
eligible list would contain, instead,
these groupings: o u tstan d in g , well
qualified, qualified, a n d u n q u a li­
fied. W ith in each group, th e v et­
erans would go to th e top of th e
list, disabled v eteran s first. T hus,
th e veteran in the “o u tsta n d in g ’
group would be ap pointed ah e ad
of th e civilian in t h a t group; b u t
the civilian in th e “o u tsta n d in g ”
group would be ap p o in ted a h e a d
of th e veteran in th e “ w ell-quali­
fied” group.
l- in - 3 Rule Abolished
U nder th e plan, th e o n e -in th re e rule would be abolished. T he
appo in ting officer would h av e th e
whole ran g e of each group to
choose from , subject only to v e t­
era n preference w ithin th e group.
This, it is contended, would sa tis­
fy one of th e serious objections
which personnel m en h ave raise d
to p rese n t-d ay restric tio n s on
selection.

Vet Preference
This is lesson 2 on vet preference. In order to elim
inate confusion about ponding legislation on the subject,
The IJ^^ADKR last w eek started a series of articles to
hel p explain what it’s all about.
It’s advisable to retain these articles. Last w e e k ’s
issue explained: (1) who is affected by veteran pre­
ference; (2) the fact that the present law hasn’t worked
wel l ; (3) how a vet pi’efei’ence amendment becomes law.
Now, let’s have a closer look at the present situation,
the Condon proposal, the Mitchell proposal, and the dif­
ference between them. (The information for this w e e k ’s
information was prepared by the Civil Service Employees
Association.)
The PrPHPnt Situation
The present veterans preference provision in the
State Constitution consists of two parts. The first part
provides absolute and permanent preference in appoint­
ment and in promotion for disabled veterans.
The second part provides a five-year preference ex­
piring December 31, 1950, for non-disabled veterans. The
non-disabled veteran does not have absolute preference.
Jle comes after all disabled veterans, but before all civil­
ian eligibles.
The non-disabled veterans have viewed with suspic­
ion and dismay the special absolute preference given to
“zero” disabled veterans w ho have enjoyed the same
absolute preference as the really disabled. A recent court
decision placing recognizable disability at ten per cent
will help, but will not cure their dissatisfaction.
Preference for the disabled veteran is permanent.
The present preference for the non-disabled is limited to
five years, ending December 31, 1950.
If nothing is done, the preference to disabled veter­
ans will continue, but the preference to the non-disabled
will lapse. To continue or to change the present con­
stitutional amendment requires first, that the amendment
bo passed by two difl^'erent legislatures, and the amend­
ment must then be approved by the people at a regular
election.
Two proposed amendments were passed at the last
legislative session the Mitchell Am endment and the
Condon Amendment.
The Condon Proposal
The<'Condon Am endm ent is supported by some seg­
ments of the American Legion and opposed by many vet­
erans in the state and local governments, and outside gov­
ernment. It would make no change in the present abso­
lute preference for disabled veterans in appointment and
promotion. For non-disabled veterans it would extend
the present preference for original appointment, but
would give no preference in promotion to non-disabled
vt:terans.
The Mitchell Proposal
The second proposed amendment is the M itchell
Amendment. This would give a single preference to be
exercised only once by any veteran, either disabled or
jion-disabled. The preference would not be an absolute
])referonce but a percentage or point preference. ^ The
(iisabled veteran would have 10 points added to his ex­
amination mark for original appointment or 5 points add(ul to his examination mark for promotion. The non­
disabled veteran would similarly be given 5 added points
on examination for original appointment or 2V^ additional
lioints for promotionaj examination. A fter one prefer­
ence is used to obtain appointment or promotion, there
would be no further preference of any kind to that
employee.
it la A Choice
It is importan/t for all em ployees to understand that
the choice is between two proposed amendments. There
is no time or opportunity to pass a different amendment.
To oppose both amendments would m erely play into the
hands of those who selfishly wish to see no improvement
made.
’ The Mitchell proposal has the follow ing advantages.
It reduces the general preference to a single preference
in one appointment or promotion. It reduces absolute
preference to a moderate point preference. It gives less
preference on promotion than on original appointment. It
would give both the non-veteran and the non-disabled vet­
eran much fairer opportunity for appointment than now
exists. In promotion it would do aw ay with the monopoly
of preference which the disabled veteran would enjoy
under the Condon bill. It does aw ay with absolute pre­
ference which could wreck civil service.
The thousands of young Americans graduating from
colleges and high schools yearly who neyer had an op­
portunity for military service have an inalienable right to
a fair chance to serve in public employment. This right
is denied them under presen»t preference requirements.^
The many veterans who are graduating now and will
graduate from various schools under the educational fe a ­
tures of the Federal G.I. Bill of Rights also have a right
to a fair opportunity to compete for public service jobs.
Under present provisions they too are discriminated
against.
Next w eek: A point by point comparison of the
M ik hell and Condon bills.

phecy or portent inconsistent with the Christmas spirit,
nor will they give much thought to any but their own
immediate problems.
Fortunately there is no present indication that the
coming N ew Year m ay not be a happy one. We all enter
the coming year with the same old problems. Dollars
don’t stretch, but they do shrink. One may well be sus­
picious that prices have not entirely reformed from their
disturbing ways, but that the same familiar economic
forces and age-old human greeds that have helped to
force the price levels up to record highs, will force them
even higher, or at least keep them about where they now
are.
I have said that the old familiar personal and fam ily
problems will probably remain with us for at least an­
other year, but I also said that the New Year should be a
happy one.
My faith rests on certain signs of the times and on
certain quirks in human nature, chief among w hich are
the f o llo w in g :
There is general nation-wide recognition that public
servants are underpaid. There is less general but wide
recognition, that President Hoover is right in saying that
penny pinching economy in public salary policy results in
flagrant waste and inefficiency— not in real economy.
T he Valid Way
Poor people are in general the more generous. Pov­
erty compels consideration of others as a condition of the
common survival of any person, fam ily or group. Is it
perhaps not equally true that when finances become a bit
difficult for an imperial State, first things will have the
first consideration? Am ong the forem ost of these will be
all the people who administer that great instrument of
w elfare and progress for all the people, the State, and on
whose intelligent and sacrificing service in their jobs
largely depends the present and the future of the great
S o c ie ty which is N e w York.
A ny craftsman gives fii’st consideration to his tools.
The public em ployee is the standard tool in all govern­
m ent operation. He should be a matter of first concern
to all govermment.
I hope I am correct in feelin g that a better spirit of
understanding and of working together is making some
progress, and that this is evident both in the administra­
tion and in the Civil Service Employees Association. Some
people seem to think that the only mode of living betw een
employer and em ployee is war and temporary armistices
between wars. God help us if that is true.
For m yself I prefer to think that the good-will and
economy of peace typified by Christmas is the only valid
way and worthwhile end of living and of working— of liv­
ing together and o f working together.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1948
E ^ACH year at this holy period mankind lives a difTerent,
J better, happier life. Clashes of political ideologies, ten­
sions of race, creed and religion, give way to a friendly spirit.
If that spirit could only be maintained the year round, the
world would be a better place and the objectives of all re­
ligions would be approached.
During Yuletide the world is ennobled by a spell of a
holy mystery; the influence of a greater power than man’s
is upon land and sea. Above the external merriment, the
tinsel, rises a spiritual influence that is at once an attain­
ment and a guide. Good wishes from man to man ring with
natural sincerity as they flow from a full heart.
To all men of good will; to all who wish others well;
to all who cherish liberty and all who hate its destruction;
to those who live by the creed that men are truly brothers,
whatever their color or their race; to all who feel that the
dignity of mankind is important— to all these, and to the
little people of the world— a merry Christmas, and may the
coming year bring peace.
Big Lesson on Pay
Given to States, Cities
O
FFICIAIiS of New York State and localities who are
grappling with the salary question of public em­
ployees should give attention to w h at is happening in
the Federal government. It’s no easier for Federal em­
ployees to get a pay raise than it is for State and local
employees. Yet only last w eek the Pi*esident of the
United States himself asked sharp upward revision of
pay in the upper brackets— to attract the highest quality
employoes. Former President Hoover, working on a
roi)oi-t for reorganization of the executive branch of gov­
ernment, will make a similar recommendation, even more
inclusive than that of Mr. Truman. Senator Ralph E.
Flanders, Republican, of Vermont, has indicated that he
favors a general increase in pay. Senator Olin D. John­
ston, Democrat, of South Carolina, has announced that
he will sponsor legislation in January providing for a gen­
eral pay increase of $500 to $750 for all government em­
ployees. Jam es E. Webb, federal B udget Director, who
last w eek stated President Truman’s view s on the need
for a sharp upward revision of pay in the executive
brackets, stated also that the President is considering the
question of a general increase for all federal workers.
There can be little doubt, in view of this activity,
tiuit a substantial pay rise is in view for federal employ('es— and that this pay rise is supported by Democrats
and Republicans alike.
Precisely the same factors as have led members of
Congress to support pay rise legislation are present in
New York State. The lesson will not be lost on oflScials
of the State, counties, and municipalities.

T H IS Is th e sto ry of a civil se r­
vice employee, W illiam Ambrose
O aney of th e In te r n a l R evenue
B ureau. B u t before we consider
him . le t’s h e a r ab o u t Mr. Jam es
X , a different type of ch a rac ter.
D uring th e war, w hen Ja m es X
salted aw ay th o u san d s in black

No one knew abo ut th e secret

th e electrical eq uipm ent he m a n ufactiured, h e received th e legiti­

entered in th e books. T he black
m a rk e t pay m en ts were in cash, and
w ent directly in to th e h a n d s of
Ja m es X w ith o u t an y in term ed ­
ia ry know ing ab o u t it. And now,
w ith ev erythin g quiet, Mr. X was
co n trib u tin g handsom ely to p h il­
anthro pies. a n d every m o n th a
little of t h a t hid den m oney was
dribbling in to h is b a n k account.
Mr. X m a d e speeches to high
school g ra d u a tin g classes, worked
in com m im ity affairs, a n d assid­
uously cu ltiv a ted his rep u ta tio n as
a good citizen.
C am e a L etter
T he le tte r w hich arrived one
m orning from th e I n te m a l R eve­
nu e B u reau w as like a blow from
a sledgeham m er. How could they
know? No one could have cov­
ered h is tra c k s m ore carefully
th a n h a d M r. X. T he trem bling
m a n u fa c tu re r began to hope th a t
perh ap s it w asn’t w h a t he tho ugh t,
perh a p s it w as some m inor error
In th e re tu rn .
I t h a d sta rte d w ith a n an o n y ­
m ous le tte r, a le tte r th a t oould
only h ave been w ritten by a m em ­
ber of Mr. X ’s fam ily, by som e­
one who h a d w atched Mr. X
hiding h is m oney, a n d knew th e
nam e of custom ers who h a d paid
black m a rk e t m oney to him .
T he case was now in th e h a n d s
of Bill G aney, a quiet, soft speak­
ing, 39-year-old civil servant, who
h ea d s th e u n it responsible for
investig atin g suspected ta x eva­

of incom e tax , social security, and
miscellaneous ta x laws. H e su per­
vises a u n it of 12, who h a n d le as

T he m a tte rs considered by Mr.
G aney usually arise fro m re fe r­
ences from o th e r divisions in th e
B u reau of In te r n a l Revenue, or
com plaints from business com ­
petitors, “soreheads,” or jealous
relatives.
S etting th e M achinery Going
W hen a com plaint seems to have
some basis, G aney sets th e m a c h ­
inery of inv estigation going. A fter
th e facts a re in, he reviews th e
repo rts of his staff. T h e n h e m u st

ALBANY, Dec. 20— Is mainten­
ance of institutional employees to
be faxed?
State Comptroller Prank C.
Moore, abetted by the Civil Ser­
vice Employees Association, is
putting up a staunch barricade
against taxing of maintenance,
which the Federal government
wants to introduce.
Maintenance has not heretofore
been taxable by the U.S. when the
employee lives in an institution
for the convenience of the em­
ployer. This fall, however, the In­
ternal. Revenue Bureau indicated
that it was about to reverse its
previous ruling. ,
Conferences Held
A conference was held in Wash­
ington on October 26, between
representatives of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, the State Mental
Hygiene. Department, the Depart­
ment of Audit and Control, and
the Civil Service Employees As­
sociation. Guy de Cordova, of
Hudson River State Hospital, rep­
resented the Association at this
meeting.
Subsequently, the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue requested a
memorandum stating the State’s
position. A meeting was held In
the Comptroller’s o f i^ , including
representatives of the interested
departments. William F. McDon­
ough. executive representative of
the Association, and John T. DeGraff, Association counsel, repre­
sented the employees at this
meeting.
Moore’s Letter
As a result of this conference,
Comptroller Moore sent
a
lengthy letter to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, covering the
complex legal problems involved.
The Comptroller pointed out—

maintenance are actually doing
so at the convenience of the em­
ployer, as the law requires;
—that under the Feld-Hamilton plan schedules adopted in
1943, the salaries of employees
holding the same title and per­
forming the same duties were
fixed at the same rate. An accur­
ate survey was made of the value
of the food and lodging furnished
S O O O C o lle g e

S ta te T e s ts
by State institutions, and the
value so determined was deducted
from the cash salary, thus equaliz­
ing the status of employees living
inside and outside the irLstitutlons;
— that the present system, work­
ed out after a period of trial and
error, satisfies the “convenience
of the employer” rule of the U.S.
Treasury Department:
— that many Institution em­
ployees who aie required to work
only 8 hows a day have paid an
Income tax on the value of main­
tenance received;
— ^that a reversal of the exist­
ing ruling would work discrimina­
tory hardship on many employees.
Quotes The Law
Comptroller Moore quotes the
pertinent section of the Income
Tax law to buttress his position:
“If a person received as com­
pensation for services rendered a
salary and In addition thereto,
living quarters or meals, the value
to such person of the quarters
and meals so furnished constitutes
income subject to tax. If, how­
ever, living quarters or meals are
furnished to the employee for the
convenience of the employer, the
value thereof need not be com­
puted and added to the compen­
sation otherwise received by the
employee.”
The Comptroller therefore luged, “as strongly as I can,” that
the ruling under which the State
has operated for so many years
be retained.
Conference Method
The cooperation of the Comp­
troller and the Civil Service E m ­
ployees Association :.i this in­
stance is seen as another example
of the conference method, which
is operating ever more widely in
the State service.

If you ever want to beconxe a

Investigative jobs, too.
Policemen and firemen must b«
able to reach the scene of action
quickly in order to properly carry
out their duties. Men in the Po­
lice and Fire departments must
know how to drive.
Other fields where speed is not
essential, but where driving plays
a role vital to the public welfare
are in the Departments of Public
Works and Public Service. Thous­
ands of automobiles are operated
by employees of these departments.

Many people apply for civil ser­
vice exams without flrst checking
to see if they meet all the refluirements. One frequently over­
looked is the need for a driver’s
license, a “must” for many City,
State, and Federal jobs. Actually,
the person with a driver's license
increases his opportunity for get­
ting a civil service job.
With the nation-wide Postal
Clerk-Carrier exams in the offing
(you can’t be a letter carrier with­
out a driver’s license), a word
about this important qualifica­
tion may serve as a timely re­
minder.
A licen.se, is, of course, needed
where driving is directly in the
line of duty. For example, the
Surface Line operator, who drives
a trolley (and collects fares and
keeps an eye on passengers at the
same time), and the Automobile
Engineman, a fancy name for
truck driver. Both of these are
first-rate NY C jobs — but you’ll
need a driver’s license to apply.
A license is also necessary on
jobs where quick action is es­

months, and it offers an excellent
opportunity without heavy re­

the top item of preparation is a

This article can’t begin to cover
the total number of civil service

It’s an excellent precaution, for
anyone desiring to get into civil

a driver’s license under his belt.

SHO ULD K N O W
COURTS RE-RATE EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
■y THEODORE »ECKER
UaDER5 of The LEADER will
irall reports of a court case
'li-ing the power of a civil serc o n i i n i s s i o n to select more
one answer as “the best
®api” to some “multiple choice”
‘
“
'fjons The case came up on
«^mination for promotion to
iant in the New York City
m Department. Of 90 queson the test, the Commission
sought
to allow more than
.'best” answer (because of
.
’anibiJJuity of the question) in
lease of 9 questions.* This had
effect of giving additional
ijt to certain candidates who
eht otherwise have failed.
Lordingly, a law suit was
ntnenccd to get the Commis(0 eliminate the nine ques;or to select “one best” anIjrto each such question. The
Ljt court directed the Com^ion to conform to the rules of
;test which it had set for the
lldates and to select one best
£irer to the question. On apil,the Appellate Division modij’this to allow the Commission
[eliminate questions for which
felt it could not select “one
iit’answer. This was affirmed
the State’s highest Court,
felumenthal v. Morton, 298 N. Y.
3),
In one case, where the Commission
selected one answer as the best,
the court held that the question
involved was not capable of a
“best answer” and ordered the
Commission to eliminate the ques­
tion from the examination. (Garelik V . McNamara, 12-2-48 N. Y.
L. J.. pg 1367 col 4).
In another case, where the
Commission selected one answer
as the best, the court held that a
different answer was the best and
ordered the Commission to sub­
stitute the latter for the former.
(Gruner v. McNamara, 11-24-48
N. Y. L. J. pg 1270 ool. 4). The
examination question in this case
involved an interpretation of the
Penal Law, and the court’s will­
ingness to disagree,with the deter­
mination of the Commission as to
which was the better “best” an­
swer may have stemmed from its
confidence that it is peculiarly
well qualified to pass on legal
problems. Whether the court
would consider it within the judi­
cial province to review determina­
tions made by expert examiners
in the field of medicine, for ex­
ample, remains to be seen.
In any event, it will be interest­
ing to note the reaction of the
Appellate Division in the Gruner
case, already argued on appeal.

Following a hearing, the NYC
Civil Service Commission approv­
ed an amendment to its rules
so that all N Y C employees, pre­
vented from taking a regular ex­
amination because of injuries suf­
fered while at work on city busi­
ness, may take a special examin­
ation. The rule applies to opencompetitive tests as well as pro­
motion ones. Provisionals are in­
cluded in the benefit.
The new rule would put city
employees generally in the same
class as members of the uniformed
forces of the Police, Fire and San­
itation departments.

Shopping Suggestions W i n d o w
If you have waited for the last
minute to get your holiday clothes
— and your budget Is on the tight
side — you will And the solution
to some of yoiu* major problems at
SA-RAY’S two stores at 889 Eighth
Avenue <^52 Stret) and 388 Bridge
Street, Brooklyn, Just off Pulton
Street.
This store, which we have writ­
ten about before, specializes In
accumulating overstocks of mer­
chandise and lines where a slight
mJs-weave or a manufacturer’s
difficulty can bring the cost down
to a point where suits and top­
coats which would otherwise sell
around the $45 or $50 level can
be sold at $27.75 or less.
With competition increasing,
and buyers watching carefully for
maximum value on what they
buy. it is this type of shrewd buy­

which shoppers will be looking for
the future.

Milady can do some fast and
effective shopping at Kilton

This store, which usually goes in
for styling rather than price cuts,
is offering a pre-holiday discount
of 20 per cent to 50 per cent. They
are apparently overstocked be-
Spiritual Gifts Encouraged
By Franciscan Mass Group
“Give a spiritual gift,” Is the
slogan of the Franciscan Mass
Association of St. Francis Semin­
ary, Todt Hill Road. Staten Island.
The Association is offering special
Christmas cards for one-year enrollees. One card is of the Holy
Family and the other of the Na­
tivity. Each bears the St. Fran­
cis peace prayer.
The enrollment costa $1. Living
or dead may be enrolled.
Perpetual individual and family
enrollments in a double picture
frame are popular. The diploma
and picture are encased in glass.
Organizations find these conven­
ient to give to their employees
and friends. Perpetual enrollments
for individuals is $10 and for the
entire family only $25.
The director of the association
is the Rev. Lasalle K Lenk, O F M
Conv., a former civil service em­
ployee of Utica,

M. Maldwln Fertig at the New
York State Constitutional Conve^ihion.
Consistent Advance
His record in the Internal Reve­
nue Bureau was one of consistent
advance. He rose through the
positions of Zone Deputy, Prin­
cipal Zone Deputy, Squad Leader,
A.ssistant Division Chief, and ul­
timately DiWsion Chief of the
Special Investigations Unit, the
position he now holds. Through
the Ramspeck Act in 1941. Mr.
Ganey attained permanent civil
service status.
Could Teach Latin
There was a time when he had
seriously contemplated becoming
a teacher. This was after his
graduation from Fordham Col­
lege in 1931. In fact, he has a
teacher’s license. And even today
he could stand before a class and
teach them Latin, Greek, French,
mathematics, or history. But he
put in a year in Fordham Law
School, then went into business.
As a boy at Brooklyn Prep
Sdiool and also at Fordham, Bill
Ganey played baseball. He has
always liked sports, and regrets
that there isn’t much time these
days for anything except an oc­
casional round of golf.
In addition to his public ser­
vice, however, he has managed
to find time for pai-ticipation in
community and church affairs.
During the war he was chairman
of an Advisory Draft Board. He
is on the Board of Governors of
the Hershfield-McCosker Cardiac
campaigns, and is a past presi­
dent of St. Jerome’s Church Holy
Name Society.
He lives with his four children
— two boys and two girls — in
the Bronx.

Study Material
The following serves as study
material for the U. S. Enforeement
Agent examination to fill U, S.
Treasury Department jobs:
Alcohol Tax Unit.— The Alco­
hol Tax Unit is charged with the
administration of the laws re­
lating to the manufacture, ware­
housing, and distribution of spirit­
uous liquors, and industrial al­
cohol; the determirtation, asser­
tion, and assessment of taxes and
penalties on liquors; the inquiry
and investigation relative to the
filing of returns for occupational
and commodity taxes; the regu­
lation of the manufacture and use
of liquor bottles and the chemical
analysis of liquors and numerous
other products to determine their
taxable status. It administers the
provisions of the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act of August 29,
1935 (49 Stat. 977; 27 U. S. C.
201-11), relating to the regulation
of Interstate and foreign com­
merce in distilled spirits, wines
and malt beverages, and the la­
beling and advertising thereof. It
is also charged with the investiga­
tion, detection, and prevention of
willful and fraudulent violations
of internal revenue laws relating
to liquors.
Miscellaneous Tax Unit.— The
Miscellaneous Tax Unit admini­
sters the internal revenue laws
as they apply to other than al­
cohol, employment, and income
and profits taxes, preparing reg­
ulations in connection therewith,
receiving, auditing, and verifying
certain classes of returns, and re­
viewing and disposing of claims
for refunds and abatement.
WASHING'TON, Dec. 20 — Or­
ganizations of public employees
are Showing keen interest in pro­
posals to liberalize the Social
Security Law.
President Truman favors a
broader base of coverage and the
Federal Security Agency has sub­
mitted a plan which exceeds in
breadth .and scope even the pro­
posals made by the President to
the last Congress, which failed to
act on them. Now he has a Demo­
cratic Senate and House and ex­
pects to succeed even with the
larger program.
Legal Question Arises
Employees of State and local
government are enthusiastic in
their support of the proposal, incf,uded in the Board’s report, that
the law be amended to make them
eligible for old age and survivors’
insurance. There are about 4,000,000 such employees. Under present
constitutional law the Federal gov­
ernment would have no authority
to compel States and local govern­
ments to enter their employees in
the ranks of those socially insured,
but the result can be achieved by
agreement with willing States and
local governments. The employees
and employers would share the
cost by contributions based on
salary.
Coverage by Exception
As to some branches of State
and local government, that repre­
sent a form of quasi-business, like
the publicly-owned transportatiorr
systems and the State liquor
stores, counsel have Informed the
Federal Security Agency that cov­
erage could be made mandatory,
as in private industry. However,
there is no sign of any intention
of pressing this point, as the na­
tional administration prefers to
deal with the States and their
civil divisions on a voluntary
basis.
The FSA is expected to take the
initiative, however, and ask that
the 41,043 employees of the N Y C
Board of Transportation be
brought under Social Security, as
well as 160,000 others employed
by States throughout the nation
in operations comparable to busi­
ness.
One Point Brings Re1)oun<I
While employees of N.Y. State
and N Y C are covered by retire­
ment benefits, and in the case of
competitive employees are required
to b.ecome members of the system,
the benefits are not regarded by
Federal experts as wholly sufficient
to cope with present-day require­
ments. Also, throughout a I
tlon,.half ot such public :i»l
tnp
are not covered by a re
etira
system. Three-quarters of
covered are regarded as n r
sessing adequate survivorcM4
tection.
