/I s Re gistration D a y f o r all m en between 21 a n d 36 approaches,
m a n y questions have arisen f r o m Civil Service employees, f ro m
eligibles an d f r o m f u t u r e applicants on th e ir rights and status
under existing laws or regulations. Provisions to cover members
of the N a tio jia l G ua rd , N a v a l Reserve, an d other reserve groups
are included in the Selective Service Act and the State M i l i t a r y
Law. B u t th ere are few existing laios or rules which specifically
cover employees who are d rafte d. No r are eligibles or applic ants
given an y specific protection.
The Leader learned this uieek t h a t the U. S. Civil Service C o m ­
mission is p reparing a set of rules to cover conscripted employees.
I n the fed eral service new regulations can be adopted by eith er
of two processes. Congress can enact the necessary legislation
or the President can issue executive orders. I t is probable t h a t the
la t t e r method will be followed. A provision of the Selective Scrvice
Ac t provides t h a t fed eral employees must be given back th eir jobs
i f conscripted.
I n the New Y ork State service, it ivill be necessary fo r the State
Legislature to pass a series of bills to protect employees. At pressent L ie u t e n a n t - G o v e r n o r Charles Poletti and the State Civil Ser v­
ice Commission are at icork- on proposed legislation. Governor
L e h m a n said last week t h a t he would ask fo r legislation to p ro ­
vide t h a t d ra fte d State employees receive salary differentials and
get t h e ir jobs back.
Representatives of T he Leader talked to m a n y city. State and
federal officials, Civil Service au th orities and others last week, and
th e general s ta tem e n t was t h a t “ employees will not lose an y rights
to salaries, seniority, pro m o tio n or a n y t h in g else if th ey are
d ra fte d .”
I n question and aiiswer f o rm , T he Leader presents i n f o rm a t io n
about conscription and how it effects employees, eligibles an d a p ­
plicants. I t must be rem em bere d t h a t the answers are conjectures
based on the almost ce rta in f a c t t h a t new laws and n e w j u l e s to
provide fo r tlTose conscripted w ill be adopted.

R am speck B ill E x p la in e d
W A SH IN G T O N — The R am speck bill— the greatest F ed eral e m p lo ye
reform m easure in histo ry — is assured of bein g w ritten into la w before
Congress adjourns. The bill passed last w eek , is n ow in a conference of
Plouse and Senate Civil Service leaders and a bill in its final form is e x ­
pected to be reported out and approved the latter part of this w eek .
The reform m easure carries a num ber of provisions that are of
vital concern to N e w Yorkers emplo}'’ed by the federal g o v e r n m e n t both
in N ew York City and in W ashington.
But before I go into the b ill’s m any provisions it is on ly proper to pay
respecti; to the man w h o put the bill over in the Senate. That m an is
a N e w Yorker, Senator Jam es Mead.

Mead is ru n n in g for re-election
and he had half a dozen speaking
engageiiients that no candidate could
afl'ord to break. But the New Y o r k ­

bill was lied up in the Sen ate for a

civil serv ice em ployees and eligibles, I tu r n to you no w w ith the
situ atio n facing the Police Eligibles. Police Com m issioner V alen­
tin e has sta te d th a t for the d u r a ­
tion of th e d r a f t no new p a tr o l ­
m e n will be appointed.
I t is m y opinion th a t Mr. V a le n ­
tin e has been hasty in m ak in g th a t
sta te m e n t an d has n o t considered
th e follow ing th re e possibilities:
1. In view of the fact th a t only
900,000 m en will se rv e each year,
and since 5,000,000 m en a re esti­
m ate d to be in th e Im m e d iate
S ervice group, it is obvious th a t in
th e five y e a rs of the d ra ft no d e ­
fe r re d gro u p s will be called. F u r ­
th er, it is strong ly believed by
m an y a uth o ritie s th a t the Police
will be in a d e f e r r e d group. C on­
se q u e n tly if th is is so (as will be
k n o w n soon a fte r re g istra tio n ),
th e n new police can be appo in ted
w ith o u t any fe a r of in co n v e n ­
iencing th e City.
2. T he second po int is th a t m an y
m e n w ill be in d e f e r r e d classes
d u e to h a v in g dependents. Since
th e y w o n ’t be d ra fte d (at least not
f o r y e a rs ), w h y c a n ’t th e y be a p ­
p o in te d to th e Police F o rce instead
of being neglected b ecause some
of th e o th e r eligibles a re in th e
i m m e d ia te d r a f t class?
3.
A p p a re n tly th e city fe a rs th a t
it will h a v e too larg e a b u r d e n to
c a r r y if it h a s to pa y to d ra fte d
m e n th e difference b e tw e e n A rm y
a n d city salaries. B u t I am posi­
tiv e t h a t a lm ost ev ery e ligible
w o uld be w illing to w aive th e e n ­
fo r c e m e n t of th e S ta te law to t h a t
effect. A fte r all, th e eligibles w a n t
to get p lac e d on th e Police F o rce
a n d su c h a w a iv e r w o u ld re m o v e
o n e stre n u o u s objection.
Well, Mr. E ditor, w h a t do you
