Telephone Operators Win Case
Court Holds Police Departm ent Jobs Must G o to Them
The climax in a long battle on
the part of the telephone oper­
ator (male) eligibles to have
their list used for positions in the
police department came this
week, when the Court of Appeals
upheld them. The Court affirmed
the decision of the Appellate Di­
vision, which directed that the
list be used instead of the regular
patrolman register. The eligibles
previously lost the first round of
their fight in the Supreme Court
before Justice McLaughlin.

Most people d o n ’t seem to realize

Important Measures Still Aw ait His Final Decision
Three important Civil Service
bills were among those signed up
to late last week by Governor
Lehman. They were the Condon
bill, determining who gets the
fees from candidates for DPUI
tests; the Mahoney bill, ending
the practice of transferring em ­
ployees without competitive test
after three years of service; the
Kreinheder bill, limiting certifi­
cation by the State Commission
of county payrolls to first pay­
ment in January and July.

According to the law, tempo­
rary appointments may be made
for a one-to-six-month period if
the job is actually of a temporary
nature, something to be deter­
mined by the State Civil Service
Commission.
After the sixmonth period the job must be
filled on a permanent basis,
whether paid by temporary or
permanent funds, and the State
Commission has so advised de­
partment heads.

W o r k e r s ?
SURVEY by district managers of the Civil Serv­
ice Commission has revealed that a number of
machinists, toolmakers, shipfitters and other
Ekilled mechanics urgently needed in defense jobs are
employed in the Post Office Department. Particularly
Is this true, it was discovered, in New York.
Civil Service officials in New York contacted a num­
ber of the skilled tradesmen, many of whom worked in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War 1, and most
of them expressed a desire to return to their old trades.
But, they insisted, transfers should be arranged so that
they wouldn’t lose seniority, opportunity for promotion
and retirement and other privileges.
Civil Service district managers recommended that
the transfers be made on the basis set forth by the em­
ployees. The Civil Service Commission took the matter
up with the Post Office Department but the depart­
ment refused. It was explained that the department
was losing thousands of its employees to the Army and
that 1,500 employees had to be diverted to defense work
of handling mail at army camps. The loss of employees
Is so great. Post Office officials said, that an executive
order had been drawn up which would permit certain
employees reaching the retirement age to remain in
active service. Postmaster General Frank Walker will
take up the matter personally with President Roose­
velt.
Therefore, Post Office officials explained, they
wouldn’t keep their employees from taking defense
Jobs, but, they insisted, employees who do take the jobs
must resign outright and take their chances on being
reinstated afterwards.
Now, we don’t quite follow all this. In the first place,
postal lists are still pretty long, and employees on those
lists have been waiting, many of them, years for an
opportunity to get into the department. And if the
lists are pretty well used up, the Civil Service Commis­
sion should order new exams. So what’s all this talk
about an insufficiency of personnel?
In the second place, the present system of separate
lists for separate boroughs might be done away with,
as suggested by a L eader reader, and single lists set up
in their place. This would prevent the condition arising
where you have too few on the list, say, in the Bronx,
and too many in Brooklyn,
In the third place, we agree with the postal em­
ployees and the Civil Service managers that those men
taking defense jobs should retain their rights. Why
not work it on the same principle as with draftees?
When a postal employee is drafted, his place is filled by
a sub who signs a waiver releasing him from claim to
the job when the draftee returns. This may not be the
Ideal method, but the point is that there is no insuper­
able problem here, and one shouldn’t be created.

^|T^O THE PRESIDENT of the United States, comI
mendation. He has performed a notable act in
JL
making the Ramspeck bill operative, bringing
125,000 government jobs under the merit system.
It means the virtual wiping out of the spoils system
In federal employment.
It means that government services will henceforth
be manned by persons most capable on the basis of
competitive test—not political whim.
It means a real impetus to the extension of Civil
Service in every State and municipality.
■^t was a hard fight to get the Ramspeck Act passed,
bub one w'ell worth fighting. The American people are
»fh c gainers. The L eader is proud to have );iad a part
in th ^ tru g g le .

Jumped in the Bay. He picked up
the nearest person, dropped him on
the ground and went in again.
’ Grabbing the • children, ^wo and
three at a time, Buck repeated this
process until all the passengers were
saved. When there were no people
left to rescue. Buck dropped to the
ground, exhausted. In five minutes
he had saved 100 people.

Tuegday, April 29^ o ^
IN CIVIL SERVICE records, he’s
listed as Peter H. McNeil, Boatman.
To thousands of New Yorkers he’s
known as Buck McNeil, Hero. As
Boatman, Peter H. McNeil has been
in charge of docking small craft at
the Battery Seawall for the past 29
years. As a hero, Buck McNeil is
the guy who jumps into the cold
waters of New York Bay, fully
clothed, winter and summer, year
in, year out, to save people from
drowning. In 29 years on the job
Buck McNeil has rescued 285
people.
Blunt, unassuming, modest. Buck
doesn’t like to talk about his
rescues. He’d rather talk about his
nine children and his six grand­
children, about his uncle who was
the last survivor of the "cheesebox
on a raft,” the Monitor, which
fought the Merrimac in the Civil
War... “This hero stuff Is the
bunk,” Buck says.
“I’ve been
around docks all my life and I’m a
good swimmer. I don’t mind jump­
ing in.”
Buck’s most spectacular rescue,
which won him nation-wide fame
and a hatful of medals, was made
in 1916 when the excursion steamer,
“Keyport,” sank fifty feet off-shore.
Literally scores of women and
children were tossed into the Bay
before the horrified eyes of Bat­
tery strollers. First, Buck grabbed
a ladder and stretched it from the
dock to the Keyport. Then he
Down at the Battery, they’ll tell
you that all but 65 of Buck’s
rescues have been multiple affairs,
such as the Keyport Job. However,
they’re quick to point out that some
of the “singles” have been tough to
make. Despondent men who try to
commit suicide don’t Uke to be
saved. Nor are rescues easy to
make when a Northwest gale whips
the ice-filled Bay to cold fury. In
the 29 years in which Buck has
been on the job, not one person has
lost his life at the Battery Seawall,
no matter how hard he tried.
Buck McNeil could cover his
broad chest with medals and still
have enough left over to decorate
all the Irishmen in a St. Patrick’s
Day parade. In 1906 Congress
established the American Cross of
Honor medal, for persons who have
performed “at least 12 heroic
deeds.” In the 35 years in which
this Medal has been in existence,
two heroes have been awarded it.
One of them is dead; the other,
very much alive, is Buck McNeil.
Last week. Buck McNeil got an­
other medal. It Is a small gold
medal and it probably doesn’t look
very impressive beside the Ameri­
can Cross of Honor Medal or the
Double Congressional Medal of
Honor which Buck won in 1916, but
Buck likes this new medal so much
that he wears it on his watch fob.
It was given to him at a diimer at
LaGuardia Field by Deputy Com­
missioner Robert Starr Allyn of the
Dock Department. An Inscription
on the back reads, “Outstanding
employee of the Department of
Docks, 1940.”
Buck McNeil, hero, is proud of his
record as Peter McNeil, boatman at
the Battery landing. His vigorous
eyes flash and a friendly smile
lights his face. “In 29 years,” he
says, “I’ve never missed a day on
the job...Never more than five
minutes to change my clothes after
pulling somebody out of the brink.’
HE LEADER editorial callijij
for passage of the postal
workers’ longevity bill has
been read into the Congressional
R e c o r d . . .'Wa.tch for an outburst in
Congress over those too-close investlgations of federal employees...
More cops live in Queens th a n in
any other borough...An eligible on
the General Investigator list has
written a book on military aviation
...Success story: Lovely Betty
Comden, star of the popular Re,
vuers troupe at the Village Vanguard, once was “Miss Civil Serv­
ice” on the City Commission’s radio
program^..Civil servants in Roumania are fired if they marry
foreigners.
