The shake-up allegedly is an outgrowth of the case of Helen Harvey whose ouster as chief stenographer by Commissioner M. P. Catherwood was last week overruled by Supreme Court Justice E^rgan. The court referred to the Catherwood charges against Mrs. Harvey as "multiplied trivia." NYC Fell Down on Withholding Tax Forms So Some Civil Servants Won't File in Time By FRANCIS KELLY The Federal Income Tax law provides that by January 31 of each year, every employee must receive from his employer a statement of his earnings for the preceding *year, and how much was withheld for taxes. But New York City employees must be a special type of citizen because some of them got their information—which is needed to make up the income tax reports, as late as March 10. That gave them exactly five days in which -to solve the form 1040 puzzle and figure out whether they owe Uncle 6am or he owes them and how much. Tale of Woe The City Comptroller's office had the responsibility of getting the little slips of paper out, and i.the story they tell is a long tale of woe. To begin with, the Comptroller's office is plastered with signs, one ^ on every door; "For any information about withholding tax, see your department payroll clerk." They had plenty of City employees haunting them before the signs •Went up. Point 1. "That January 31 date was impossible for us to meet." said a spokesman for the Comptroller's Office. "We don't even get the payroll sheets back from the departments until January 24. It's absolutely impossible to figure out the total tax deductions and put them down in 7 days." Now the City has approximately 190,000 employees. The figure changes from day to day. But to determine the tax deductions, over 220,000 different accounts had to be figured. That's how many people came in and went of the City service during the year. Trouble, Trouble Point 2. The troubles that the Comptroller's office ran into came so fast and furious that at times it was funny. At the very beginning, the Fed'l Government sent in the slips which had to be made out in triplicate. One copy to the employee, one to Federal Government, one to the Department payroll office. First, the forms the Government sent in didn't fit the machines that the City had. New machines couldn't be bought because of priorities. "Please let us use other forms" begged the Comptroller. "No," said Uncle Sam. Finally after long conferences with the business machine companies, a machine was rigged up which could put the information on the slips. Then more trouble. The machines could enter all the necessary information, but not the employees address. The Government wanted that fact. So after each slip was made out by machine, the extra dope had to be typed on it. Then, it was found that there weren't enough people in the office who could work the machines, so they had to hire a crew from outside. Still later, it was necessary to add on the slip whether the employees' wives or husbands were working. More headaches. All of a sudden, the man in charge of the whole business col- lapsed and . went to the hospital. That threw more monkey wrenches into the works. Most Out By March 6 Despite everything, by March 6 each City employees' little slip of paper was out of the Comptroller's office except for about 3,000 in the Board of Education. These, on special payrolls were the last to got out and they should have had their forms just in "time to make a quick stab at figuring thenstatus with the tax collectors. The Comptroller's office staff think they've done a good job des pite all their difficulties which beset them, and they point out that 99 percent of the City employees had at least five days in which to make out their returns. Some of the Comptroller's staff say they've been too busy to even think about their taxes. Seek Extension Meanwhile, City employees report they cannot meet the March 15 deadline. Some Commissioners have been in touch with Internal Revenue to get an extension of time for their employees. U.S. EMPLOYEE FIRED, REINSTATED DY COURTS » Courts Reveal New Path to Employee Security WASHINGTON—In a case of tremendous importance to every Federal employee, a dismissed employee was last week ordered reinstated to his job by the courts. The case sets a precedent which is of enormous consequence, for it now makes it possible for a U. S. civil service employee to ask that the courts protect him if he believes his essential right to his job has been violated. • In a decision refuting the statement frequently made that "Fede r a l employees have no rights," Stanley H. Borak, New York attorney, was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in his contention that he had been illegally removed from his Federal civil service position in the Department pf Justice. The case was decided on March 6, 1944. Mr. Borak, who lost his job on January 3, 1942, as a Naturalization Examiner in the New York Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, acted as his own attorney. The complaint flamed Francis Biddle, U. S. At- torney General, as defendant. It asked reinstatement to the job, and other relief. Declaring that the District Court was "wrong" in dismissing the appellant's complaint, the Washington Court, composed of Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner, and Associate Justices Henry W. Edgerton and Thurman W. Arnold, held that as a permanent employee, Mr. Borak was entitled under the law, to the preference of written charges and a hearing "as a condition of removal." Mr. Borak, who argued the appeal on his own behalf, had attacked his summary removal without notice after 9 Ms months' serv- ice, as illegal, and without justification. , Probationary Period The Attorney-General contended that the summary dismissal was legal, because Borak was a "protational" employee, and maintained that he had not completed a one-year period of probation. However, the Court said, "But appellant protests, and we think rightly, the premise on which this conclusion rests." , The Court declared Invalid a "minute" of the U. S. Civil Service Commission, by which the six months period of probation established by Executive Order of the President, was extended to one year. The invalidity was predicated upon the failure to comply with the provisions of the Federal Register Act requiring publication of the "minute." Under the circumstances, the Court ruled that Mr. Borak had completed the period of probation, and had be- come a permanent employee, and was thereby entitled to the protection of the statute. The court dismissed the argument of the Attorney-General that a certificate had to be filed at the end of the period of probation, and that unless and imtil such a certificate was filed, the probationary period was not completed. The court said that under the foregoing argument of the Attorney-General. the period of probation could be extended for 5 or 10 years at the whim of the appointing officer, by his failing or neglecting to file the required certificate. This, the court concluded, was not the intent of the Rule of Civil Service involved. It was also ruled that the District Court had no jurisdiction of the claim for salary since the unlawful ouster. If an appeal should be taken from this decision, it would be to the United States Supreme Court. A possible shake-up in the division was seen as a result of the newest reported lay-offs. All three typists who got their notices are reported to have been friends of Mrs. Harvey when she was head of the Commerce Division's stenographic pool. Names of those reported to have been laid off are: Nora Redmond, 21 months in service; Alice Wiley, 10 months in service; and Isabel Fox, three years in service. Colleagues of the three dismissed employees are reported as in r censed at what they consider an arbitrary and unjust action. Dated Mar. 1, Delivered Mar. 3 Lay-off notices, signed by the division executive, were dated March 1 but were not delivered to the employees until March 3, and then by messenger. The delivery date also coincided with the published reports of Mrs. Harvey's reinstatement by court order. Interestingly, there is messenger service available every hour in the office. , , All three typists are reported by their associates to be experts. No complaint about their work was voiced anywhere. Since all three are provisionals, however, they may be dropped legally and without recourse, under civil service law. While they wouldn't comment, none of the three is worrying about a job. Harvey Still Waiting Meanwhile, Mi's. Harvey has not yet been reinstated to her job. Catherwood has 30 days from the effective date of the court order in which to appeal. At press-time it had not been indicated whether he would go to the higher courts. If Mrs. Harvey is reinstated, she can go either to her former position as head of the stenographic pool, or to another post within the Commerce Division of equal rank and pay. OTHER STATE CIVIL SERVICE NEWS BEGINS ON PAGE 6 4,000 NYC EMPLOYEES FACE LOSS OF JOBS • v ' see page 3 ^ m m Page TV* CIVIL SERVICE LEADER Faster Retirement Fund RebatesComing For Employees Who Leave U. 5. By CHARLES SULLIVAN WASHINGTON—Faster retirement fund rebates for employees who leave Government service became almost a certainty this week. The Ramspeck Investigating Committee has cut loose with a 15-page report, blasting Civil Service Commission for its slowness in making these rebates. And one almost certain result will be an immediate attempt by the Commission to speed up the process. Thousands of ex-Government workers have had just cause to complain after leaving the Government. They found that it took months and months to get back the five per cent of their salaries they had paid into the Federal Retirement System. The Charges The Ramspeck Committee, in its report, laid a large part of the blame on the Commission proper. It also charged: —That the Division is poorly managed. —That in December it had a backlog of 143,385 unpaid refund claims—a backlog which was in- creasing at the rate of 16,000 per month. —That the backlog of unanswered correspondence, some of it months old, totalled 11,796 letters. —That the Commission proper had failed to heed the request of the Retirement Division for new personnel. , —That it had been very slow to heed the Division's request for a higher Budget Bureau priority number, as a means of getting new personnel. "A careful spot check," the report said, "reveals that the Division is lacking in organized procedures, definite instructions and work manuals. This condition is reflected in the unorganized routing and processing of work. The traffic of employees, forms and correspondence is confused and excessive. Some of the work is performed carelessly." Should Be Prompt "There is every reason," it said, "for a Government employee, particularly one entering the armed services, to expect and receive promptly upon separation, the return of his funds deposited by him, under specific agreement, with the Federal Government. In this instance, the Federal Government is trustee for the funds deposited and is obligated not only to return such funds within the terms of the contract, but to do so expeditiously. "No bank insurance company or other fiduciary institution could escape criticism * * * if it operated under the conditions reflected in this report. "The obligation of a Government agency to compare favorably with private institutions is more important when it is realized that the average American citizen considers his Government to be the best bank in the world." Navy Says White-Collar Employees May Leave Out One Pay for Tax W A S H I N G T O N — A s forecast in The LEADER, Navy Department has capitulated—and finally issued a statement to employees on the matter of their mixed-up income tax problem. The statement came from Secretary Frank Knox himself. which, in turn, would have meant It told employees that they didn't have to rely on the Navy's 1943 earnings statements in preparing their March 15 tax returns. Instead, if they wish, they can base returns on an alternate system—which actually will save them money. As reported in The LEADER previously, Navy gave 175,000 white collar workers—those paid semi-monthly — 1943 earnings' statements which were incorrect, and quite possibly illegal. Employees were credited with one 1944 payday—that of January 5 for field workers. Its effect was to charge them with extra income, extra taxes. The Letter Mr. Knox's letter, issued over the weekend, said: "1. Navy Department employees may pay their income tax on the basis of the figures already furnished, or "2. They may deduct the amount of their gross earnings (e. g., base pay plus overtime) for the pay period of Dec. 16 to 31, 1943. The payday for that period was the one which was incorrectly included in the earnings statements. Save $20. And employees who do not include it on their March 15 tax return will find they will save an Faster U. S. Promotions Recommended eligible for the promotions. The Commission said the present periods of waiting "are not consistent with the fact that differences in performing are shown in a much shorter time among new employees of varying abilities and experience who enter duty at the same time and the same minimum rate." Automatic raises are small— they range from $5 to $8.33 per month for employees up through CAF-10; and from $16.66 to $20.88 per month for employees above that level. WASHINGTON — Faster automatic promotions for Federal workers have been recommended to Congress by Civil Service Commission. The Commission sent its proposal to Capitol Hill last week. With it went a draft of a proposed bill to put its recommendation into effect. —At present, employees up through grades CAF-10 and P-3 must wait 18 months before becoming eligible for an automatic raise. —Those above grades CAF-10 and P-3 must wait 30 months. Waiting Time —The Commission's plan would change the waiting periods to 12 and 18 months. - * I t would, however, continue the present regulation which requires that employees must maintain efficiency ratings of "Good" or better before becoming Income Tax LOANS Don't b o r r o w needlessly, but If a loan f o r Income Taxes ( o r a n y w o r t h y p u r p o s e ) Is to your a d v a n t a g e , come to 'Personal'.

All the Welfare Department's relief orders for 19321936, forty tons of them, will be scrap paper soon, if the Board of Estimate says O.K. Additional obsolete records of all the city departments, will soon see the same scrap pile in a city-wide campaign to meet the nations demand for paper. Engineers Feel Neglected The engineers in the NYC Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity feel that they're being sadly neglected by the department, and they're readying a resolution to be presented to Commissioner Patrick Quilty. The following complaints will be made by the engineers. —The opportunity for advancement by the men in the lower grades has virtually disappeared. —During the past ten years, engineering vacancies in WSG&E have been dropped or filled at minimum salaries; duties of higher-graded engineers have been assigned to lower-titled employees, with no extra cash benefits. —The morale of the engineers is suffering, and an organization, built up over many years, is in danger of collapse. The Engineering Club of tha Department is presenting this petition, originally drafted by A, Henderson of the Queens office, to the Commissioner in the hope that the situation can be remedied to improve the efficiency of the department and the welfare of the engineers. Not Much Help For the Employees Employees of the New York City Department of Hospitals have the distinction of being one of the lowest paid group of employees in the City Service. The departmental budget for 1944-5 doesn't make much of a change in their status. The department expense account for the next fiscal year calls for a total of $188,927.00 for new positions; $584,230.50 for increments. Of the increment figure, $167,093.50 represents mandatory increments under the McCarthy Law. The balance, department increments to hospital helpers, nurses, hospital attendants, practical nurses laundry workers. Following are the new positions called for in the budget: Two Junior Chemists at $1,681, Two Laboratory Assistants at $1,200. Payment of 45.50 per session for 30,000 sessions to physicians in the medical clinics who now are not paid. Stationary Engineer at $3,650. Four Oilers at $3,321.12 (these positions were dropped last year). average of about $20—with a very good chance that this will become a "permanent" saving. If you are a Navy per-annum employee, here is what you should do: , 1. Take your 1943 earnings statement as given you by Navy. 2. Subtract the sum of: (a) your January 5, 1944 paycheck; (b) your withholding tax for that payday; (c) your War Bond deduction; (d) your Federal retirement deduction. 3. Submit the remainder to Internal Revenue as your income for 1943. ' ' 4. Report your withholding tax, exactly as reported to you on your Navy earnings statement. 5. Inclose Secretary Knox letter and/or this article as an explanation of what you have done—and of why your income figures don't tally with those submitted to Internal Revenue by Navy.

McKellar's plan to require Senate confirmation of all Government workers making $4,500 or more again has become a hot subject in Congress. This plan threatens the very roots of the merit system in Government. It would establish a pattern of spoils and patronage as a substitute for the tried and true principle of the best man for the job. Sen. McKellar's bill passed the Senate last summer, but subsequently was buried in the House. Now, however it has been revived in new form. Last week the Senate Appropriations Committee reported out the Independent Offices bill. And into it, Sen. McKellar (as acting chairman) had written again his confirmation clause. To Whom It Would Apply 1—It would apply to Federal employees already on the payroll. 2—It would apply to newcomers as they entered the service. 3—It might even extend down to workers entering Government at $3,800, because that is the beginning salary of the pay bracket in which $4,500 falls. Not only that—but Congressional leaders are honestly fearful that the McKellar bill now stands a fairly good chance of passage. The Reduction in State Aid Must Be Restored!

This is proper. There is serious objection, however, voiced among officials "in the know," with regard to the discrimination practiced against employees of other departments. When he announced the details of the recent cost-of-living bonus, Mayor LaGuardia ordered that in cases where employees had received any increases since July, 1943, that these increases would be charged against the cost-of-living bonus—"Except in exceptional cases." JBonus on Top of Increase Unless whole departments are "exceptional cases," then City employees are probably justified in a most serious complaint against this situation: The City Law Department, in September 1943, granted increases to 102 employees. These raises ranged from $120 to $1,500. Then along came the January 1944 bonus, and 89 of those who had received the increases—those who had been boosted by $500 or less —received the full bonus. In Public Works, 213 employees received increases of $120 tb $300 during the preceding six months. However, when the bonus came along, they too received the full additional payment. This amounted to an increase in the departmental expense account of $398,000. "It's OK," explained Public Works. "We've saved $349,000 by dropping a lot of jobs and making our people Some City employees have looked into the whole bonus situation, and they feel that it was handled illegally from the very beginning. The "Terms and Conditions" of the City Budget, which have power of law, provide that budget modifications must have the approval of the Board of Estimate. Board members never had a chance to vote on the bonus. It was announced in the form of an order by the Mayor. The Borough Presidents, who are members of the Estimate Board, had often indicated their approval of a cost-of-living grant to employees, but had. stated far more liberal terms than the Mayor's bequest which amounts to about an 8 percent increase. Next step in preparation of the City Budget is the Mayor's annual Budget Retreat. He locks himself in the Budget Bureau offices and scans the proposed City expendit res for the fiscal year from July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945. By law he is required to submit his approved budget to the Board of Estimate on or before April 1 of each year. Exclusive TWO MEMBERS Ifoseph McOoldrlck. of the NYC Board The actions a shellacking of of the to Estimate Board Gives NY Workers A Shellacking New York City employees took <me of their regular shellackings at the hands of the Board of (Estimate last week. Five bills affecting City workers had been passed by the City Council and were before the Board Of Estimate for their approval or disapproval. When the meeting was over, the •core was 4 to 1 against the municipal employees. One bill was passed. It authorizes the Police Commissioner to restore 7 probationary patrolmen who were dropped at the end of their 6-months' probationary period. Now it goes to the Mayor. Killed Bills Among the bills killed by the Board were: —Restoration of the pay of probationer patrolmen to $2,000 year. Introduced by Councilman liarkey. —Providing that the Comptroller shall not honor any voucher for payment of a salary to a person unless the voucher certifies that the person was actually employed in the department. Introduced by Council DiGiovanna. —Requiring a n o t i c e of a proposed change of title or reelassification in the competitive Class to contain the name or deseription of the title to which the S Estimate, Board City last Newbold week, Morris and as usual, wore employees. Gremlin at Work There's a gremlin working around the offices of the New York City Civil Service Commission. Twice last week, the same thing happened. First, a delivery boy came up with a container of hot water and a piece of chocolate cake which had been ordered delivered to Room 714. There's no Room 714 at the Commission. The next day, another delivery boy came around with an order—a container of hot water and a lemon. There was still no Room 714. For the second time, he went away grumbling. The man who runs the lunch counter on the ground floor of the building in which the Commission is housed would be happy to know what's up. So would employees of the Commission who are getting tired of running around in circles trying to find out who wants the hot water. change is to be made.

DiGiovanna. 4,000 Borough Office Men Face Loss of Their Jobs By JEROME YALE Four thousand employees of the five New York City Borough President's offices face the loss of their jobs. This fact was disclosed late last week by Borough President Edgar Nathan, Jr., of Manhattan who dahed lip to Albany to fight against a proposed bill which Tgould surrender io the State almost complete control of the City Streets. This bill was drafted in secret In Mayor LaGuardia's office, according to the Borough President. Apparently without taking the matter up with the Borough Presidents who would be most affected, the Mayor last week sent a message to the City Council asking them to endorse the bill which he had drafted. The City Council, however, referred the matter to its Committee on State 'legislation. What the Bill Means The proposed bill would create a State arterial system in the City of New York, which would Include all the expressways and highways. The purpose of the bill, it was understood, is to gain a larger share of Federal and 6tate highway funds, but in effect, it would sell out the City employees who are now doing Work on the streets. An analysis of the budget of the Borough Presidents' Offices v Shows that a total of $12,000,000, plus another million in special funds, is assigned for personal Services—salaries. Of this amount, 60 per cent of the 12 million, and $0 percent of the million are deVoted to pay employees working On highways construction, design tmd maintenance. To Be Laid Off Incfluded in the 4,QOOr employee Me almost all types of City work- ers who would be laid off. Engineers, asphalt workers, clerical employees, foremen, auto-enginemen, and other titles would have to be dropped. Hardest hit would be several hundred engineers who are working on highway projects. If the roads were taken over by the State, the State would not be required to use civil service workers, and would probably turn t .is work over to private contractors. [The LEADER will follow the progress of this story in future issues.—Ed.l Dispatchers Want $2,500 Fire Dispatchers in the Fire Department are still wondering where they stand. Three weeks ago, the New York City Civil Service Commission held a hearing on the subject of changing their classification and establishing a $2,000 a year starting salary. At the hearing they protested, and asked for a salary of $2,500 which they said was what the job was worth, and more in line with what other cities were paying for the same work. After the hearing the Commission didn't announce any decision and still hasn't. work a little longer each week." Positions dropped Among those positions dropped by Public. Works were engineers, cleaners, elevator operators, and auto enginemen. The extra work schedule amounted to 4 hours more each week. Among those who had to work longer were some employees on three shifts. This resulted in two people finding themselves working together on one person's job for 4 hours. No Bonuses for Merit Other departments however, rigidly followed the Mayor's order, and those who had received any increases—except mandatory increments—found their boost subtracted from their bonus. In Parks, however, Commissioner Robert Moses had requested that his employees who had been raised receive the full bonus. But, when the Budget bureau got through pruning his budget request, his employees made out the same as the majority of other City workers. It is reported that Moses had a stormy session with Budget Director Joseph Patterson, but came out second in the argument. There is no objection to the Is It Illegal? Lawyers Lose To Civil Service Commission March 31 Is a Fateful Day For NYC Employees A dozen New York City lawyers have just lost a fight with the City Civil Service Commission. In February, the Commission advertised an examination for City positions as Title Examiner, grade 2, at a salary of $1,801 to $2,400 a yeai\ The requirements called for were: "Not less than two years of full time paid experience in the searching and/or examining of titles to real property with a title company, governmental agency or conveyancer; or a satisfactory equivalent. In the determination of a satisfactory equivalent, legal education and experience will receive due credit, but in all cases candidates must have not less than one year of full time experience in searching or examining titles as indicated above." The lawyers contended that any attorney with experience in real estate practice was fully qualified to fill the job, and attacked the requirements as "unfair, arbitrary and discriminatory." " "Taint so," said the Commission, and notified the attorneys that it wouldn't change the requirements.. March 31 is a fateful day for New York City Employees. That is the day on which their supervisors turn in a report on their work for the past year. The man who knows all the ins and outs of service ratings is Thomas Frey, head of the Municipal Civil Service Commission's Service Rating Bureau. Here is an explanation of the whole business prepared for THE LEADER by Mr. Frey: Tunnel Employees O.K/d to Enter NYC Retirement Employees of the NYC Tunnel Authority are permitted to become members of the NYC Employees Retirement System, according to a resolution passed by the City Council and forwarded to the State Legislature for concurrence The resolution, proposed by Councilman Edward Vogel, Brooklyn Democrat, allows the transfer of funds from "any sound retirement system" to the City Retirement System, an arrangement similar to the provisions covering transfer of mebership to the N. Y. State Employees Retirement System. The "any sound retirement system" proviso, according to Councilman Vogel, allows the transfer from the Board of Education Retirement System to the City system. , The proviso dealing with the T u n n e l Authority Employees, states: "A member of the State System who was an employee of any city agency at the time service with such agency was legislated to be •city service, may transfer his membership to the city system." In the light of many forthcoming popular examinations for promotion, considerable interest has been raised concerning the topic of service ratings. Specifi cally most employees are interested in knowing just exactly the manner in which service ratings are employed in connection with Promotion Examinations. Under the rules of the Civil Service Commission, departments are required to submit reports on the work and conduct of all permanent competitive employees excepting the uniformed forces of the Police and Fire Departments once every year on March 31. These reports are reviewed by a Board of Examiners in the Civil Service Commission and numerical ratings are assigned. The rating for satisfactory service is 1% a year. Under present regulations, however, the ratings may range from Plus 6% to Minus 6% depending upon the nature of the services reported. The extreme ratings are very rarely if ever utilized. How It's Computed The mark of Record and Seniority in a promotion examination is computed as follows: Starting with a basic rating of 70% there shall be added or subtracted all service ratings received while the employee was in continuous service in an eligible title or titles up to and including the last completed rating period immediately preceding the first part of the mental examination; but in no case shall more than 15 years in an eligible title be considered in computing the rating for record and seniority, and these years shall be the 15 immediately preceding the examination. In computing the rating for record and seniority, credit shall also be given for continuous service in an eligible title in the labor class. The rating of service in the labor class shall be governed in the case of each examination by such requirements as the Commission on the recommendation of the Examining Division shall establish. The standard rating for satisfactory service is Va% for each full six months' service in the labor class. In addition to the rating ob- tained by the method indicated above, a seniority increment .shall be added to the service ratings in all examinations held subsequent to November 15, 1939. Computing the Increment The increment is computed in the following manner: For each year of active and continuous service in the labor and competitive classes of the Municipal Civil Service prior to the date of the first part of the mental examination, one-half point shall be added to the service rating. A residual fractional period of nine months or more shall be considered as one year. A residual fraction of from three to nine months shall be considered as a half year and V*% shall be added for this period. The seniority increment shall in no case exceed 5%. In no case may the mark in Record and Seniority exceed 100%. Under no circumstances shall service rating credit be given for service in the non-competitive class. Non-competitive employees shall receive a record and seniority rating of 70% in any promotion examination to which they may be admitted. In computing the rating for record and seniority, service ratings received prior to a continuous separation from the permanent service for more than one year shall not be credited. It is to be noted that the Civil Service Commission no longer grants additional Service Rating Credit for completed courses of study. For a few years the Commission experimented with the idea of granting additional credit for completed courses of study in connection with promotional exams. In the light of the experience gained, however, it altered its policy and determined that service ratings thereafter should be confined solely to an employee's performance in the course of his regular city employment, and discontinued the practice of considering completed courses of study except in those examinations where experience, education and personal qualifications constituted "a «eparately rated aub« ject.

Fine stuff, Mr. Mayor, fine stuff for an official who is supposed to represent all the people, and who professes to be a "labor man." Aren't you just a little bit ashamed Mr. Mayor, under all that truculence? Firemen Getting Together To Fight Out-of-Title Jobs Firemen in New York City are holding down jobs as pilots and marine engineers, at firemen's pay, even though eligible lists exist for the other two titles. In other words, out-of-title work is a common practice in the Fire Department, and as much was admitted to The LEADER. The practice is clearly illegal, and the only reason for it is to save money—at the expense of the men who are doing $3400 and $3500 work for $3000 a year. The main facts of this situation, revealed by The LEADER last week, brought forth a flood of comments from men in the Fire Department. Here's one of them: "If a more intensive investigation was made into this situation it would be discovered that there are about 15 or 16 vacancies for engineer. We will assume that there are say, 15 vacancies, three of which are caused by men in the Military Service and cannot be* filled. Then of the remaining 12 vacancies, four of them were formerly engineers of steamer and even if the 8 vacancies were filled there should still be the 4 vacancies caused by engineer of steamer and 3 more caused by men in the Military Service, with these men continuing to work out-of-title without the additional compensation. "The above figures may be out of the way by only one or two, but as stated above the exact number can be ascertained through the Fire Commissioner's Office or from the Chief in Charge of the boats. "Nothing whatever will be done for these men because of the fact that for each vacancy which is filled by an acting engineer or pilot the sum of $400.00 and $500.00 is saved and used for something else. Some of these men have been acting in these two ranks for as much as a year and longer. Monday and Wednesday at "Now, in reference to the last 12:30 p.m., 6:15 and 8:30 p.m. paragraph of your article: Of the remaining thirty-one men of the Fingerprinting eligible list for marine engineer I doubt if as many as five would be fool enough to stick out their Secretarial Courses necks to send complaints to the Service Commission. It is Switchboard Operator Civil the opinion of many of these men that the Uniformed Pilots and Regents' Preparation Marine Engineers Association (of which they are potential members) Drafting should go to bat for them to the Civil Service Commission."

O'Hanlon decided that if these men wanted to remain on the boats they would have to procure the necessary Federal License. In a number of cases the licenses were procured, (those who did not were transferred to land companies having thawing devices). However, whenever these "Old timers" (engineers of steamer holding licenses) died or retired the quota for marine engineer was never increased. RAILWAY POSTAL CLERK DELEHANTY INSTITUTE te THY ' .

( D U A N E S T . ) PHONE SH The State assembly last week passed unanimously a measure introduced by Assemblyman John J, Lamula (Republican 1st District, New York) to amend the rapid transit law so as to permit the accrual of sick leave at the rate of 12 days per year for a period of five years and a total of 60 days, instead of limiting accumulated sick leave to 12 days per year for two years. • "Under the law now," said Assemblyman Lamula, "if a transit employee does not use his sick leave period within two years, he is deprived of this right. Such a system places a premium on lying, since most employees who may not be ill during the two-year K period feel that that is the only way to obtain time off that they are entitled to rightfully." "This change," continued Assemblyman Lamula, "will tend to regularize working attendance, reduce fake absences, and accumulate a long period for illness, so that if a transit employee is seriously ill, ' he can fall back on this accumulated period." A party last week honored the retirement of eight members of Manhattan Borough President Nathan's staff. Longest with the city of this group is George W. A. Kelly, Inspector of Public Works, who has been working for the city since 1896 when he started as a $35-amonth clerk. A clerk making analyses of department expenses for annual reports, Frederick W. Walters, a veteran of the Spanish-American War, started as a city employee in 1899. Others honored at the retirement dinner were George C. Young, who was Assistant Civil Engineer for the Division of Inspection, making surveys of accident cases involving the department. He was due to retire November 1, 1943. He has been employed by the city since 1906, when he commenced as axeman. Percy C.

Among those citizens who have regard for civil service and the merit system —and who know what is going on in Albany—there is frank alarm. s A dangerous motif is apparent in what has been happening. A number of bills are being introduced in the closing days of the legislative session, too late for serious consideration or amendment, which can mean the ultimate tearing apart of the fundamental principles of civil service. Inroad Into Merit Principle Two of these measures authorize the Superintendent of Public Works to make private contracts with engineers and consultants to "prepare designs," render "assistance and advice/' and to perform "such other services as the Superintendent may deem necessary." The Superintendent gets the power in his discretion to liquidate the entire civil service staff if he so pleases—and have his work done through employees chosen without regard for civil service. Who among the legislators is ready to say that the Superintendent should be given such absolute power? Who among them is ready to allow this opening chasm in the civil service system? Who among them is willing to heap this burden of insecurity upon ^ the State's employees? Is the Governor prepared to sanction such an inroad into the merit principle? A Promotion That Isn't Still another. measure before the Legislature cancels out the salary increment which has heretofore been paid when k a a employee is promoted to a position in an overlapping grade. The savings achieved by this bill—if economy is its purpose—would be negligible. The bill does violence to career service by killing this tiny salary incentive for promotion, and by requiring that promoted employees work at the same salary as those who have not been promoted. Who among the men in the Legislature is ready to stand up and say this r is fair procedure? Can the Governor permit it? And the hopper contains a measure repealing the 8-hour maximum day and 3-day week now applicable in the cottage and colony service. Can the Governor, or any legislator, be so bland as to support this backward step—toward the 12hour day and the endless week outlawed by the State in 1 9 3 6 ? Here's a tip -to NYC firemen. You haven't seen the worst of it yet. Don't be surprised if the two platoon system goes into e/feet on April I, or the "four-6's" schedule. Commissioner Walsh and Mayor LaGuardia, say the insiders, are trailing to see how many applications come in for April 1 retirement. Then, a telegraph signal—the "four-6's" will be flashed to all the boroughs, and you'll be working 6 tours of 16 hours ?ach, then suing 32 tours. It adds up to about 84 hours a week on the job . . . It's said of LaGuardia that he's more mellow—in private conversation— than he's be$n in years . . . But he still bawls out commissioners who are timid. He respects more those who stand up to him . . Mike Jablons, of NYC's municipal radio station, had a date with his draft board precedent to going down to induction center. Bright and early he popped up, but when he presented his notice he got nothing but blank looks. Finally the mystery was cleared up. He was just an extra, invited down in case one of the regular customers didn't show up. He was sent home, and now awaits another invitation next month . . .

It adds up to a trend against civil service and merit—a trend which the Governor and the legisl a t o r s may not have seen in its separate parts. They should take cognizance of its deeply serious nature. They must stop the trend whose end can be more dangerous than they envision.

After graduating from Cornell College and the State Library School, at Columbia University, she entered State service in 1917 as an assistant librarian in the Education Department. Six years later she was State tax librarian and in that capacity she established the first tax li brary to be guided by a tax li brarian, in the United States. She has had the satisfaction of seeing the methods of classification and the use of subject headings that she then devised, adopted by liraries all over the country. Later she became research assistant to the President of the State Tax Commission, returned as research assistant to the Tax Department, and since September 1, 1943 she has been assigned to the Department of Audit and Last year, in April, 1943, Mrs. Thull and her husband, and their adopted son, George Thull Jr., 10. decided to help the war effort on the food front. They returned to the family home of Mrs. Thull, a farm of 110 acres in Troy, a few miles from Albany. "Today we are raising the best chickens and the biggest eggs in the state," said Mrs. Thull. She is a hearty woman with a hearty laugh and the kind of person who loves living. "Last year we raised 3,500 chickens," she said. "We have a large flock this year and to our live stock we have added five cows and calves of the purebred Guernsey Coronation line." The Thulls have pigs, too, and three dogs and a cat. But they have no bull. They don't need a bull. They are modern farmers. Breeding of their cows is done through artificial insemination, the newest method of breeding for better, pure-bred, high-producing cows without the expense of maintaining a sire on the farm. Governor Dewey in his budget this year provided $50,000 to further this development under the auspices of Cornell College of Agriculture. Mrs. Thull goes back and forth daily from her farm and her work in Albany. She was vice president of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, 1928-35 and president, 1935-1937. As chairman of the Association's insurance committee she launched the program of group insurance now enjoyed by state workers. She was a prime mover in the adult college extension courses which flourished a few years ago. She is now a member of the Association's editorial board. " I make the best butter and pot cheese," she said. Most people know her, however, as a valiant worker in the interests of State employees—and the country's foremost woman expert in tax matters. POLICE CALLS Stuff is name, boss and Depressed» Wages Employees are disturbed, too, by the fact that the FeldHamilton Law, which last year was extended to institution employees for the avowed purpose of increasing their inv adequate pay scales, has been administered in such a way that large numbers of the employees now have no better wage scales than before—and many positions are even lower-paid! Reports have emanated from certain of the institutions that employees have been required to sign waivers of their civil service rights. The legal requirement that career law rates of pay had to be effective on October 1, 1943, for employees *of Matteawan and Dannemora State Hospitals, has been coldly ignored. The State is procuring the services of these employees for illegally depressed wages! NYC the c o m m i t t e e than was the the rule Committee mullet' s o m e one is out when looked weeks ago. That $450 Might Go Through— But Give It All the Push You Can, Boys! The long battle made by Assemblyman Robert J. Crews, Kings County Republican, to bring about a pay increase for the uniformed police and firemen of New York City may be realized this week with legislative approval of his bill for this purpose. utility gross income franchise tax Mr. Crews is confident that his bill, adding $450 to the pay of every member of the police and fire departments, will be passed by the Assembly on Tuesday or Wednesday. It is on third reading, having suddenly emerged from Rules Committee where so many bills die toward the end of every legislative session. " I can see no reason why the bill shouldn't pass," said Mr. Crews. "The New York City Council unanimously voted in favor of it and has adopted a formal request for passage of the measure. This is required under the Home Rule provisions of the Constitution. "Our police and firemen haven't had a pay raise in 14 years while living costs in the last couple of years alone have increased 38 per cent. The $450 pay increase should be given them. Moreover, the bill provides that before enactment of the wage increase, the voters of the city would first have a chance by referendum to pass on the question." He pointed out that 800.000 New York residents previously had signed petitions urging legislative enactment of a pay raise. The Crews bill, after passage by the Assembly, would still have to face the hurdle of the Senate before going to the Governor fr • his approval or rejection. Opponents of the bill declare it would cost the city more than $13,000,000 or a sum greater than the sum returned to the city by law from the this year. That's the same argument they usually use against pay raises for public employees. Crews statement, you will note, failed to mention the $420 bonus received by New York policemen. It will be a great day if that $450 proposal really goes through against all the opposition it has had. It would be smart politics for the PBA, the UFA, and the individual members of both organizations to put on all the heat they can now. The people of the City of New York showed they were for the increase. They'll stand behind the men now. If Albany's legislators and the Governor see a really determined effort, the big surprise may actually become fact—and the Crews bill might be enacted into law. When the $420 Bonus Coming? It's on its way. Best information we can gather from the P.D. and the Comptroller's Office is that nothing will hold it up. It's scheduled on 'the pay of lots of men already. Brig.-Oen. John J.

FISHER President, The Association of State Civil Service Employees e EmPl°ye*" fp/npo Sg 11, « « regular weekly feature of The , ' Harold J. Fisher discusses all and any matters of interest to employees of the Slate of New York. He is writing this column with complete leeway to express his own views. SPECIAL PRIVILEGE—the system by which a few benefit at the expense of the many—is present at every session of the State Legislature. Ordinarily, good sense prevails, and special privilege, with its many disguises and alibis, tends to be revealed. The more brazen attempts to exploit the people are buried in the archives of committees. In so-called "short sessions," there is little time for the careful examination of many proposed laws. Little opportunity is available for public hearing. Legislation that is "raw" in more senses than one is apt to get by. , * * • EVERY SESSION of the Legislature is characterized by certain trends. One year there may be a concentration on tax reform; another year may witness great interest in labor or social justice; often the primary impulse may be economy. The present Legislature, like its predecessors, shows certain characteristics on subjects of special concern. Among these are the changes in departments, the general overhauling of important consolidated laws, post-war planning bills, and bills resulting from the work of various investigating committees. In a word, one of the guiding principles of the present Legislature seems to be reorganization. Now, given a short Legislative session, and given an impulse to reorganize many aspects of the State Government, it often happens that bills are drawn up hastily, without sufficient background and without ample consideration of their possible consequences. In many cases, the bills display a lack of knowledge of the whole integrand body of laws and regulations which will be affected. The better part of wisdom in rebuilding the fundamental legal structure of the State is to make haste slowly. Do not remove the foundations—at least not until the main structure is jacked up and a better foundation is laid. I propose to examine a few important bills now before the Legislature in order to point out their implications, limitations, and probable effects.

Campbell, administrative director of the department, are continuing their study of criticisms and recommendations on a proposed schedule of uniform rules and regulations for all departments. These, covering overtime, sick leave, lunch periods, and other problems involving time off, were submitted last month for the scrutiny and comment of all personnel officers. "We will be unable to make a final determination on the uniform rules for some time," said Judge Conway, president of the Commission. "It is probable that we will have to adopt a separate schedule of rules for employees in institutions of the Correction, Welfare, Health and Mental Hygiene departments because of working conditions peculiar to their duties. "But we are anxious to adopt rules that will apply to all administrative employees, including those of the institutions. "For that reason it is unlikely we will take decisive action until we determine the effect of uniform rules on the administrative employees of the institutions." Commission Tells Of Year's Tasks SERVICE NEWS Mental Hygiene Posts Up for Reclassification ALBANY—The Classification Board has recommended a general pattern which it proposes to follow in the reclassification of certain mental hygiene charge positions to Staff Attendant or Head Nurse on afternoon and night shifts. These terms refer to the tours of duty beginning during the afternoon and at or about midnight, respectively. This pattern has received the approval of the Director of the Budget and the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene. It is felt by authorities that while there may be some cases where the plan cannot be applied, it will work successfully in most cases. The effect on employees will be Keeeption 1 ) Admitting: 2 ) Disturbed Ward* 1) 2) Convalescent ( f r o m physical disorders) Suicidal 3) 4) o) Medical Surgical Employees' Sick B a y fi) Shock Therapy Continued Treatment 1 ) Regressed, Destructive, Wettcrs and Soilers 2) 3) Acutely Disturbed Semi-difficult including semi-disturbed senile, a m b u l a t o r y epileptics, mildly regressed, slightly destructive or slightly assaultive Allow Allow modified by record of Staff service, and consideration will be given to those on military leave. The Association of State Civil Service Employees has urged upon administrative officials the desirability for prompt adjustments in classification as established on October 1. 1943. The Classification Board has advised workers that where changes in reclassification are felt to be proper ana changes are authorized, the effects of such classification would be retroactive as to pay and otherwise to October 1st. The changes contemplated as noted will, it is felt, be very satisfactory to many employees. Here's the setup: staff staff all all shifts shifts On larger w a r d s ( 4 0 or more b e d s ) allow staff all shifts. W h e r e such a w a r d normally requires t w o or m o r e employees on afternoon or night shift, one be a l l o w e d as a staff.

Association Resolution At a special meeting of the State Association's Legislative Committee, called on Friday evening, March 10, a resolution was drawn up broadly condemning the invasions into civil service which the delegates found imminent in the policies of the State administration. Specifically denounced was a rider in the Hastings-Marble bill relating to reorganization of the Public Works Department in a manner permitting the employment by contract of outside architects, engineers, and others. Also condemned was the MahoneyMafller bill which scotches the 8hour day, 6-day week now existing in certain parts of the institutional service. Still another measure, the Halpern-MacKenzie bill which denies increment advantages to persons in overlapping grades, was deemed pernicious. The committee spoke of the Hampton-Devany veteran preference bill as "a destroyer of all civilian opportunity to engage in public service under the merit plan." The view t&ken is that veterans should be helped—but the merit system must not be condemned. The Committee stated that it deems of equal importance the failure of the legislature to approve measures advancing the merit principle in New York State. (See editorial, page 5) Milo Maltbie Fires Men Away on Military Leave NYC Council Endorses Bills Before Senate No, a man who goes off to the armed forces isn't completely certain that his job is going to be waiting for him upon his return. Particularly isn't he certain under the State lump-sum budget, the internal reorganization now going on within departments, and the economy motif which has afflicted certain officials. The New York City Council last week put its stamp of endorsement on a number of bills which are up before the State Legisla ture. The following bills were the subjects of Council resolutions which asked that they be enacted into law: Take the specific case of John F. Greenfield, a Lieutenant (jg) in the United States Navy, and a former New York State employee. Lieut. Greenfield's occupational history includes employment by the former Transit Commission as a senior engineering aide. Upon abolition of that body, he was transferred to the Public Service Commission, with the same title. On May 1, 1943, Greenfield was commissioned in the Navy, and received a military leave of absence from the agency. He left With the assurance that upon his return from the wars, a job would be awaiting him. How It Worked Out However, it didn't work out that way. Lieut. Greenfield is still in the service. But he's out of a job. On October 1, 1943, Chairman Milo R. Maltbie, head of the Public Service Commission, directed his dismissal, along with the dismissal of a number of other employees in his department who thought they were safe with their civil service status. These included, by Maltbie's own admission, men who are in all branches of the armed forces. As things stand now, these men have no jobs to which they can return. They have nothing but a preferred eligible list, upon which their names reside. Maltbie doesn't deny the facts. He doesn't deny that Greqpfield and others in his predicament have a complaint. However, the Chairman of the Public Service Commission insists that he acted with complete legality in firing the men. The fact that they were in the armed forces, and had been away on military leave, was of no concern to him. That's the State's problem, not his, he argues. "It's simply that the jobs were abolished." Maltbie told The LEADER, "and they were abolished on a strict seniority basis. I wrote all the facts to Greenfield in response to a letter from him. I could have preserved the status of all the men in the armed forces,' Maltbie admits. But that might have interfered with the plans for economy in his department. "There were 40 in that group," he says, and all but 14 or 15 were let go. Under the Governor's bill merging the Transit Commission with the Public Service Commission, I got the discretion to do what I had to do. The bill made no exception to men in the armed forces. I decided I had to follow seniority absolutely." Asked whether he would put these men back on the job after they returned from the Army and Navy, Maltbie disclaimed responsibility, saying: "It is the policy of the State to take care of the men in the armed forces. Their names are on a preferred list. If a post comes along which a man on this list is qualified to fill, he gets first choice ahead of any other eligibles." Maybe Mr. Malthie's action is clothed in chilly legality—but it wasn't compulsory to fire men in the service—and the legalism is cold comfort to Lieut. Greenfield and his buddies. State Seeks Bookkeepers; No Written Test Required Persons with bookeeping, accounting or auditing experience are being sought by the State Civil Service Commission to fill temporary war duration positions in the Department of Taxation and Finance and in the Division of Placement and Unemployment Insurance. The jobs may continue until six months after the war. NO WRITTEN EXAMINATION IS REQUIRED. The names of candidates who possess the minimum training and experience qualifications will be submitted to these departments for appointments, which may be made without regard to relative ratings on training and experience. Page Seven CIVIL SERVICE LEADER TuoMlay, March 14, 1944 Persons who are appointed to war duration positions will receive the regular annual salary increments and the regular war emergency bonuses granted to permanent employes under State laws. NO APPLICATION FEES ARE —A bill introduced by Senator Greenberg to amend the Civil Service Law by providing for the transfer of funds to the New York City Employees' Retirement Sys tem (Int. No. 403. Print Nos. 421, 1574). The bill provides for transfer from the Board of Education Retirement System, and under certain conditions from the State to the City pension systems. It would allow employees of the NYC Tunnel Authority to join the City retirement system. —A bill introduced by Assem blyman Crews and Senator Bainbridge, amending the New York City Administrative Code relative to pensions and definition of final compensation. (Int. No 17, Print Nos. 17 and 2085, Ass and Int. No. 470, Print Nos. 493, 1821, Senate.) This bill would permit a retiring City employee to select any 5-year period of City service as the basis for computing his pension, instead of the present regulation: "since the employee last became a meber." STATE CIVIL SERVICE BRIEFS By THBODORB BICKBR If At First You Don't Succeed THIS IS a success story. Its locale is a city in upstate New York. Our hero is a disabled war veteran. The villian, if we must have one, is the city civil service commission. The moral is "perseverance pays." Here is the story. The Story An honorably discharged veteran of World War I files an application to compete in a city examination and claims preference as a disabled veteran. Two days later the civil service commission receives notice that the United States Veterans' Bureau has rated the veteran "no percent disabled," and turns down his claim. Nothing daunted, the veteran renews his claim three months later. Again he is turned down. But our hero keeps on trying. A week later he notifies the commission that his case has been reopened and is being reconsidered by the Veteran's Bureau. Meanwhile, the eligible list has been promulgated and the first three names certified for appointment. The veteran's name is not included. Disability Claim Established While the appointing officer is considering the eligibles certified and before he has made his choice, the city commission is advised that the Veterans' Administration on re-examination has found the veteran ten percent disabled. The commission examines the veteran and decides he is entitled to disabled veterans' preference—i.e. to NEWS ABOUT N. Y.

Job Lost—Job Regained But the allowance of the claim of the disabled veteran comes too late. Two weeks earlier the job has been filled by the appointment of an eligible who was not a disabled veteran. Our hero, having gone this far is not to be deterred by this development. He decides to take the case to court. After several preliminary skirmishes he wins an order compelling his appointment, on the ground that the city commission had ample notice that the veteran's latest claim was allowable and could have recalled its certification pending its action on such claim. Rule of Law The court held also that the provisions of the State Constitution and of the Civil Service Law stating that the disability claimed must exist "at the time of his or her application for appointment" does not require that the disability be recognized on the date the application form is filed. The application f « r appointment is a continuing one. In the present case it continued until the disabled veteran was appointed. The ruling of the court in this city case is applicable, of course, to cases where claims for disabled veteran's preference are made for positions in the State service. Menko v.

Commissioner Louise C. Oerfy last week revealed a new "speedup" plan "under way, said she: "Under the present civil service law a person who takes an examination and is dissatisfied with his ratings, may within 20 days appeal in writing for a higher rating. Appeals were piled up like cordwood dating back four or five years. We have a new plan. All current appeals are handled within 30 days and we are having special meetings to clear up all old appeals. When this task is accomplished, we shall stay caught up." days in the office of the Civil Service Commission before action can be taken on such requests.

Tuesday, March 14, 1944 When Provisional Becomes Provisional ALBANY—When does a provisional first become a provisional? Is it the date when he starts work or the date when the civil service commission decides he is qualified for appointment? Sik Supreme Court justices have considered these questions and are equally divided in their opinions. In a 3 to 2 decision the Appellate Division recently reversed a lower court justice who had decided that approval of the commission must precede the provisional appointment, and, therefore, such appointment cannot be dated back. The higher court, however, decided that if approval of the provisional appointment is granted such approval could be dated back to the day the provisional appointee started work, and that the Civil Service Law did not prohibit this procedure. The Law The provision of law Involved in the case states: "The appointing officer may nominate a person to the state or municipal commission for noncompetitive examination, and if such nominee shall be certified by such commission as qualified after after such non-competitive examination, he may be appointed provisionally until a selection and appointment can be made after competitive examination." The case will be taken to the Court of Appeals for final determination. "Welling v. Marsh, Hines v. La Guardia, decided Jan. 28, 1944, Appellate Division, First Department.

NMC DROPS Two employees of the BMT lines found out that the Mayor wasn't joking when he said, "If you don't sign the agreement that you are getting a bonus, not a raise, you won't get the coet-of-living bonus." Mabel C. Eklund, a clerk, and Josephine M. Fink, a telephone operator neglected to sign the papers. Last week, their bonuses were withdrawn, and they went from $1,320 a year back to $1,200. Another employee who had the s a m e experience w a s Joseph T. Harrison, a stenographer in the Construction Division, who saw his salary dwindle from $2,640 to $2,500. Employees of the New York City Civil Service Commission have recently been complaining that the Commission hasn't been setting a very good example for other City departments In the treatment of its workers. The Commission has just made two changes in its leave regulations after meeting with representatives of the Association of Employees of the Civil Service Commission. 1. When there is a death in the immediate family of an employee of the Commission, he will be granted 4 days leave which will not be charged against sick leave or vacation time. 2. Employees will be allowed to charge up to 6 days against future sick leave. In the past, Commission employees who did not have accumulated sick leave lost pay for each day they missed from work because of illness.

Per Diem Men on St. Patrick's Day Shure, and it's indeed a shame that a son of Erin should have to lose a day's pay for wearing of the green and parading in honor of good St. Patrick. But that's the unfortunate situation which faces per diem employees of the New York City Department of Sanitation. The Department notified the staff that members of societies which are parading, or members of the New York Guard, will be excused from work on Friday, March 17, with pay. They'll have to present a note showing that tliey actually paraded, However, Commissioner William F. Carey continued: "Past experience teaches that it is very doubtful that per diem employees will be paid for such leaves. We will endeavor to have per diem employees paid, but there is no assurance that they will be paid." Earn $22.63 in Your Spare Time Alma's TEA ROOM 773 Lexington Ave. N. Y.

J The position of clerk-carrier, considered a choice job in the Federal a service, is now available to qualif fled applicants. The jobs are open [ in Post Offices throughout greater t New York City, and the applicant t who passes the examination will have some choice as to where he t would like to work. The examinaL tion, incidentally, is not considf %red a difficult one. It consists of L a test to determine whether the • applicant can follow instructions, P and another test to indicate how } he would do at the postal operation known as "sorting." . The lower age limit is 16. There" L Is no upper age limit. The posik Vion offers an exceptional oppor9 tunity for returning vets. Both [ men and women may apply. There m are no educational requirements. The Pay Pay is 65 cents an hour, plus $300 a year for overtime, plus an ^todditional 10 percent for night ^work. Apply at 641 Washington Street, New York City, or at the General Post Offices in any of the boroughs (except Manhattan) for f "application forms. I t ' s Tougher For Accountants The NYC Civil Service Commission has just toughened the requirements for admission to the open-competitive and promotion -^examination to Accountant, Bureau of Excise Taxes, Comptrol| ler's Office, j The original requirement was ! "City service for two years in the grade of Junior Accountant or Senior Bookkeeper," for the promotion test. f « » To this, the Commission added f the following: "Candidates must have had not less than one year of actual field experience secured either in the Bureau of Excise taxes or in outside employment before their appointment to city service." This provision applies ^tooth to the Senior Bookkeepers and the Junior Accountants who wish to take the examination. Explaining its action, the Commission reported that the Bureau j. requires a specialized type of work f for the $2,400-$3,000-a-year poW sitions. Men who receive the appointments, or promotions, must be I cent out imediately to make field J audits. The Commission added 0 that the proper title for these employees should be Field Auditor, but that the Accountant title was used to protect the rights of accountants in the event of lay-offs. Employees of the Comptroller's t office had suggested that an inf training course be given to prepare junior accountants for the field work, but this suggestion was 1 put aside by the Commission as being "beside the point and does not solve the problem." ^DARRYL The joy, the heartbreak, and the glamour of life backstage in the early days of the American theatre form the background for "Shine On Harvest Moon," the new Warner Bros, musical based on life of Nora Bayes, currently playing at the New York Strand Theatre.
