gest a Spanish grandee and a
life of ease. Actually, Joe B urk a r d ’s han d s have set a stu ­
d en t compass, flred a dough­
boy’s rifle an d wielded a cop’s
nightstick.
Today they press butto n s on
a n executive desk in th e P a ­
trolm en’s Benevolent Assn., of
which B urkard is president.
N o n c h a l a n t Exeo
Every day a little before
noon Burkard, who looks m u ch
younger th a n his 47 years,
takes a subway fro m E. 67th
St., starts towards downtown
M a nh attan and 30 m inutes
later arrives at th e 4 th floor
of 63 Park Row.
Joe B urkard doesn’t look like
a m an who’s been a patro lm an
Iti New York City’s police force
for more th a n 20 years. He
looks more like a b a n k ’s vicepresident, or perhaps a South
American m i n i n g engineer.
W hen he walks he holds him -,
self erect: his face is well
ta n n e d , as though he sp e n t a
good deal of his tim e In th e
sun.
Reclining in a swivel chair In
his expansive office, President
B urkard is quite different from
P atro lm an Burkard.
T he paradox between m ajo r
executive a nd ordinary p a tro l­
m en is understandable. Only
patrolm en m ay hold office in
th e PBA; higher-rank ing m em ­
bers of the force m ay retain
th e ir mem bership (m any of
th e m d o ) , b u t they cannot vote
or be active a fte r they rise from
th e ranks.
If you ask Joe B urkard today
why a m a n who was a lieu­
te n a n t in th e first World W ar
escaped promotion during more
th a n 20 years’ continuous ser­
vice on the force, h e ’ll smile
blandly a n d say;

EDITOR SPEAKING
h e l e a d e r is a new, wide-awake newspaper for Civil
Service employees everywhere—and for those men and
women who want Civil Service jobs. W e pledge this paper
to fight for whatever benefits the welfare of present and fu­
ture Civil Service employees. T h e L e a d e r has no axe to
grind; it is bound to no organization, political or otherwise.
Our policy is entirely independent. W e will strive to be fair
and impartial.
T
It is our hope that T h e L e a d e r will be able to render a real
service to Civil Service workers and to those who may join
the service.

With the nation’s navy yards operating on a near-cmcrgcncy

The changes are: No. 32—C isadded to D; 56. D instead of B;
79. Any answer; 99 A a nd B;
108. Any answer, and 113. L in

Although six changes for 115

th eir im portance lies first in th e
fact t h a t this is th e largest pro­

because the passing m ark was set

STATE COMMISSION STUDYING METHODS
TO PLACE 200,000 IN CIVIL SERVICE
(Special to Th« Leader)
AT.BANY, Sept. 18.—A sweeping move to bring 150,000 employees of towns, villages and
school districts under Civil Service rules appears likely as the result of a report which th«
Commission on Extension of the Civil Service will make next February, well-informed sources
declared today.
The Commission, authorized by the last session of the Legislature, began its work last
week when Earl W. Weller, research and statistical expert of Rochester, undertook a sanipls

show good character.
The Commission is now work­
ing out physical tests, w ith the
assistance of Professor Francis

cal Education Dept, of New York
University; Dr. P aul B rennan and
Dr. Henry Louria, chiefs of th e

MERIT MEN
By Seward Brisbane
(■(^onllnucil from Page One)
B u rk ard ’s easy smile suggests th a t he foresaw
the day when h e ’d be the leader of 17,000 fellow
patrolm en (90% of the to tal police force in New
York C ity ).
Born on M a n h a tta n ’s Avenue B in 1892, young
Joe Burkard graduated with honors from Morris
Evening High School a fte r a tten din g various
parochial schools. Most im p o rta n t event of
B u rk ard ’s youtli was a childhood romance,
w hich ended in m arriage in 1918, two years
a fte r his entran ce into th e police force. Now
h e ’s th e fa th e r of a girl a n d two boys. A vice­
com m ander in the N. Y. County American Le­
gion, B urkard heartily approves of hfs son’s
ambition to a tte n d Annapolis.
Burkard modestly refrains from telling ha r­
rowing adventure tales of his experiences on
the force. He’ll talk about his glee club or his
association’s success in cutting the price of u n i­
form s from $68 to $35. Or h e’ll brag a little bit
about its success in raising patrolm en’s annual
salaries from $1,400, where they were at the
turn of the century, to $3,000 today.
No adventures though! Pressed for an excit­
ing story, he m ay wave a long h a n d and say:
“Well, perhaps I stopped a couple of runaw ay
horses, or knocked th e heads of a pair of
drunks.”
Few cops were surprised when Burkard was
overwhelmingly re-elected to a second term last
sum mer, for it was because of his initiative th a t
th e PBA took the m ost significant step in its
career and formed a social wefare bureau. The
bureau was a response to the policemen’s need
for aid with social, financial an d personal
problems.
Good salaries and secure positions made cops
the special prey of loan sharks. Everyone
w anted to lend them money. Many were b u r­
dened w ith debt. None knew this better th a n
Burkard, who dismisses the “suicide waves” of
two years ago cryptically:
“Cops are no different from other people, ex ­
cept that, when despair seizes them , a gun is
handier. I t ’s the fault of the papers th a t peo­
ple talk about a suicide wave. Cops don’t kill
themselves any oftener th a n other kinds of
people. But when they do, it’s ‘news.’ ”
The first step the bureau took was an a r ­
ran gem ent by which patrolm en may borrow up
to $700 on th eir salaries a t 4% interest. They
have 18 m on th s in which to repay.
After setting up th e ir welfare bureau, the
PBA under B urkard s ta rte d a d ep artm en t of
insurance analysis to save policemen money
on their policies. And nex t it organized a hos­
pitalization plan through which members are
g uaranteed 30 days’ hospitalization yearly for

The Abrams case raises the is­
sue w hether ERB employees who
were tra n sfe rre d to th e Welfare
Dept, m ust be given an oppor­
tu n ity to compete in an open
competitive exam for the posi­
tions they tem porarily filled u n ­
der the 1937 Livingston-W adsw orth Law. The City followed
the Court of Appeals ruling in
th e B ritt case, certifying the
city-wide prom otion eligible list
to displace th e tem porary e m ­
ployees, and was upheld by the
lower courts.
Directly involved is the im ­
p o rta n t issue of w hether th e
N.Y.C. Commission may legally
establish city-wide promotion eli­
gible lists. The tem porary em ­
ployees who intervened contend
th a t promotion exams m ust be
confined to each dept., and c a n ­
not be m ade from city-wide pro­
motion lists. These two ques­
tions of law will be decided.

City Opens New Housing Test to Men
V acan cies f o r 17 in E x p a n d in g F ie ld
A year ago, managing a housing project seem ed to be jes’ w im m in’s work. You know,
something like social work—teaching the housewives w hat to prepare for breakfast, and
how to take care of the kiddies.
That was a year ago. In a year the authorities learned that managing a housing project
needs the firm hand of the male as w ell as the softer care of the woman. Hence, men as well
as women are invited to compete for 17 vacancies under the Management A ss’t (Housing
Authority), Grade 3, classification of the Municipal Civil Service Commission. Applica­
tions are due Sept. 27.

W ashington P opuhilion Rose
The population of W ashing­
ton, D. C., grew rapidly during
the w ar a n d thousands of work­
ers were enlisted from Civil
Service rolls. So m an y employees
flocked to W ashington t h a t some
h ad to be housed in hastily
erected dormitories between the
Capitol an d Union Station.
A nother im p o rta n t effect on
Civil Service workers during
1917-18 was th e great num ber of
women who were appointed.
During th e war, more th a n 40,000 were given jobs in th e de­
p a rtm e n t service of W ashington
alone.
Official circles believe t h a t if
the United States gets into a n ­
o th er war, th e p resen t num ber
of women employed on Civil
Service would rise rapidly from
th e present figure of 150,000 to
more th a n 200,000.
Many questions have been
asked about the effect of w ar on
persons already in federal, state
a n d city Civil Service jobs.
Thou san ds V olu nteered
During the last war, thousands
of such employees volunteered
or were d rafted into the service
an d th e same ^ th in g would
happen if w ar were declared to ­
day. In th e last war, certain
employees in key positions were
believed by their offices to be indlspenslble a n d received, a t th e
request of the office, deferred
classification, which perm itted
them to re ta in th eir jobs.
A typical affidavit of the war
period relating to such a situ a ­
tion reads as follows:
« ..................... (nam e of official m a k ­
ing; a ffid a v it), being: d u ly sw orn, d e ­

During th e w ar period, the
U. S. Civil Service Commission—
w ith the approval of th e Presi­
d e n t- e x te n d e d th e time for re ­
in statem en t of all Federal em ­
ployees who entered th e m ilitary
service, as well as those who
were In th e n a tio n al guard and
who were tak en over for m ilitary
service.
The New York S tate Legisla­
ture am ended th e law during the
war period, extending the time
of eligibility for re in statem en t
of all Civil Service employees
throughout the sta te who e n ­
listed so t h a t th e re ln sta tm e n t
would be for one year from th e
date of te rm in ation of their
m ilitary service.
The S tate Civil Service Com­
mission, in its report for 1919,
stated t h a t during 1917, about
1,200 employees in th e state
service enlisted in m ilitary serv­
ice an d in 1918, over 2,200.
The State Legislature also pro­
vided, in 1917, t h a t all state or
city employees who entered th e
m ilitary service were to be given
the difference in salary between
th e ir m ilitary pay an d t h a t re ­
ceived in t h e i r Civil Service posi­
tions. The re p o rt of the S tate
Civil Service Commission for

pointm ent, was disallowed by
th e S tate Civil Service Commis­

t h a t 1,000 were th u s ruled in ­
eligible for the clerk exam, a n d
300 for th e stenotype exam. Ex­
ac t figures will n o t be available
u n til exam date, tentatively set
a t Nov. 18.
During th e original period,
from April 3 to 26, 3,388 filed for
th e clerk exam, th e largest n u m ­
ber ever to apply for a promotion
test in New York City’s service.
About 5,000 were eligible under
th e original requirem ents. About
1,500 were eligible for the steno­
type exam, for which 883 a p ­
plied. I t was felt th a t m any eli­
gibles failed to apply because the
original rules opened them to
too g re a t competition.
