May Get Chance to Hold Their Jobs

By CHARLES SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON—The chance for Federal war service
appointees to stay with Government after the war if they
want to, might not be as slim as it seems.
Since March 16, 1942, all vacated positions in Government have been filled by w$r service appointments. As
a result the actual number of permanent appointments in
Government jobs has fallen far below the peace-time level.

NYC Departments Have
Many Vacation Schemes
New York City employees get paid vacations, but how
much they get seems to depend on where they work.
I n his last Budget, message,
Mayor L a G u a r d i a reminded his
d e p a r t m e n t heads t h a t vacations
are to be limited to 12 days a
year; with another 12 days for
sick leave.
So most d e p a r t m e n t s promptly
revised their schedules to suit t h e
Mayor. But some work differently.
25-Day Vacations
Sanitation h a s a schedule which
allows up to 25 days. Police a n d
Fire civilians also r a t e a 25-day
vacation. But a new wrinkle is
reported f r o m t h e Borough O f fices of Brooklyn a n d t h e Bronx.
There, each employee gets his 12
days, but no one ever seems to
take sick in those bureaus. Thus,
when vacation time rolls around,
t h e worker h a s 24 days in which
to combine his summer vacation
a n d his a n n u a l illness.
And to add a bit to t h e vacation mixup—City employees are
supposed to get overtime time-off
to make u p for t h e extra hours
they work. However, t h e d e p a r t ments which require t h e extra
work are s h o r t - h a n d e d a n d can't
spare their s t a f f s the time off.
"Emergency Staff Nurse," with
the classification " n o n - s t a t u t o r y "
and t h a t t h e beginning salary
shall be $1,600 a year as compared
with t h e $1,400 now provided by
law.
Moreover, t h e order permits
present employees getting less
t h a n $1,600 a year to receive a
leave of absence and be appointed "Emergency Staff Nurse" u n der Rule 8-C, which t h e Governor
has just approved to meet this situation.
Association Objects
Swift opposition to the Governor's order and t h e supporting
resolution of t h e Commission
came f r o m t h e Association of S t a t e
Civil Service Employees. President Clifford C. Shoro, a f t e r revealing plans for calling representatives o f , all Institutions to
combat t h e move,
dispatched
strong letters of protest to J u d g e
Conway and to Dr. Newton J . T.
Bigelow, c h a i r m a n of t h e Salary
Standardization Board.
T h e Association contends t h e
emergency appointments are designed to by-pasjs t h e Feld-Hamllton law, to delay action by t h e
board in revising salary grades,
t h a t they are a device to m a k e
pay incerases which should in
fairness go to others, too; t h a t t h e
procedure is u n f a i r to older employees, and t h a t this policy will
f u r t h e r delay t h e solution of t h e
critical problems oi S t a t e instU
tutional workers.
W h a t ' s Holding Up?
Mr. Shoro's letter to Dr. Bigelow:
"Dear Dr. Bigelow:

Have a Glimpse at What U. 5.
Employees Can Expect After War
WASHINGTON—Here's a glimpse into the post war
set-up for Government employees.
It comes from Shelby Thompson, assistant to the executive director, Civil Service Commission.
Here are his predictions:
5-Day Week
A general a c c e p t a n c e of t h e fiveday week if private i n d u s t r y goes
for it again. T h i s f o r t h e twofold purpose of spreading out work
a n d recreation.
.Granting u n e m p l o y m e n t i n s u r ance to G o v e r n m e n t workers is a
possibility if it becomes t h e c o u n try-wide s t a n d a r d of t h e m a j o r i t y
of o t h e r workers.
Unquestionably, t h e r e will be
wholesale reductions in t h e n u m ber of war service employees.
However, t h e r e are c e r t a i n a r e a s
of G o v e r n m e n t which will n o t
reduce back to t h e size they were
before t h e w a r .
Government's
services to v e t e r a n s a r e e x p a n d ing a n d will continue on a larger
scale a f t e r t h e w a r t h a n even
a t t h e conclusion of World W a r I.
R e s u m p t i o n of Federally f i n a n c e d public works on a p r e - w a r
scale or larger. Inventories of
p o t e n t i a l p o s t - w a r p r o j e c t s show
a backlog of public works.
M a n y Will Be R e t a i n e d
T h e r e likely will be a d e m a n d
for r e t e n t i o n of m a n y w a r t i m e
F e d e r a l employees f o r t h e m a n n i n g of peacetime G o v e r n m e n t
jobs. However, reductions
will
occur as r e t u r n i n g v e t e r a n s a r e
p e r m i t t e d to exercise t h e i r r e - e m ployment rights.
" R e d u c t i o n s - i n - force will be
conducted by t h e agencies, u n d e r
supervision of t h e Civil Service
Commission, with t h e greatest
respect for fairness. Able career
employees of t h e G o v e r n m e n t will
f i n d p r o t e c t i o n in t h e w e i g h t
given to seniority a n d efficiency
a n d will n o t be wilfully a n d i n considerately p u s h e d out of their
jobs," Mr. T h o m p s o n says.
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES:
Here Are Some Good Reasons
Why You Shouldn't be Bounced
There are Congressmen who want 300,000 dropped
from the Federal payroll. But there are plenty of good
reasons why this shouldn't be done. Here are some presented by Senator James M. Mead of New York:
Of t h e 2,862,449 paid civilian
employees, as of May 31, 1944, t h e
W a r D e p a r t m e n t employs 1,213,076, t h e Navy D e p a r t m e n t e m ploys 652,385, t h e
emergency
agencies directly connected with
t h e W a r (such as WPB, OPA,
WMC, Selective Service a n d O W I )
employ 174,863, a n d t h e old-line
regular G o v e r n m e n t agencies e m ploy 822,125.
Would H a m p e r
Govt.
Assuming t h a t you c a n n o t r e duce t h e personnel of t h e military
a n d emergency agencies, it would
be impossible to strip 300,000 f r o m
t h e old-line d e p a r t m e n t s a n d p e r m a n e n t agencies of t h e G o v e r n m e n t without seriously h a m p e r i n g

O n e f a u l t of this bill is t h a t if
F e d e r a l employees go h o m e a f t e r
t h e war, wide v a r i a n c e in p a y m e n t , according to t h e S t a t e in
which t h e employee lives, would
result.
M a n y Federal workers would
qualify f o r t h e m a x i m u m b e n e fits of t h e various S t a t e laws, but
that may mean anything from
$15 to $20 a week f o r 14 to 23
weeks—or $210
(Arizona
and
Mississippi) to $460 ( M a r y l a n d )
or $468 (California) a year. O n e half of t h e F e d e r a l workers a r e

B o t h of these bills will be altered plenty before t h e y ever get

However, t h e Federal employee

Mary Ruth Nelson Emerges as Miss Civil Service for 1944
A small-town girl, Mary
Ruth Nelson came down to
New York City last Wednesday, July 12, and emerged as
winner of the coveted title
MISS CIVIL SERVICE OF
1944, over 211 other civil
service employees from State,
Federal and M u n i c i p a l
agencies.
T h a t attractive brown-haired
girl with gray-green eyes was the
unanimous choice of the judges
f r o m the 42 semi-finalists in The
LEADER'S second beauty contest.
The girls were gathered on the
steps of historic New York's City
Hall and in the office of N. Y. C.'s
Council President Newbold Morris
for the final judging.
About Her Husband
Mary is a fairly new State employee, having taken a position as
a trainee in the State Department
of Health's laboratories at Albany,
N. Y., on May 8, 1944. But she's
not the only State employee in
her family. Her husband, Harry
B. Nelson, is a State Trooper, a
member of Troop K. And at the
moment t h a t she was selected as
grand prize winner, she wasn't
even able to let him know because
h e was on patrol duty somewhere
in the mountains upstate. I n fact,
Mr. Nelson also is a leading State
employee—he was chosen last
summer for the important assignm e n t of guarding the f a r m a t
Pawling, N. Y., where Governor
Thomas E. Dewey and his family
have their summer home.
Twenty-two year old Mrs. Nelson is a native New York Stater.
She was born on a f a r m in Lincolndale, N. Y., a small village in
upper Westchester County. Her
maiden n a m e is Mary Flood, and
she was the third of 5 children—
3 girls a n d 2 boys—born to Mr.
and Mrs. J a m e s Flood, who still
• r e keeping t h e f a r m going.
She went to local schools, and
was graduated from Pawling High
School, where she served as d r u m majorette with the school band
in 1940. Then she worked in a
store in Patterson, N. Y. I n April
1944. she married Trooper Nelson,
and took a n apartment in Albany;

State, and City. They are the semi-finalists In The LEADER'S search for Miss Civil Service of 1944. They were selected from among 212 entries.
All who were present at the final judging In the office of Council President Newbold Morris agreed that a finer selection of beautiful women
just
couldn't be located anywhere. One photographer commented: "They'd give the professionals a run for their money." Out of this group,
the three winners were selected, one representing the Federal s e r v i c e , one the New York State service, and one the New York City service.
and then came a job with the
State.
W a n t Civil Service Career
She likes State service, and
thinks t h a t she'll make a career
of it. Soon she'll have completed
her course as a trainee and she'll
be ready for a position as a laboratory assistant.
To win the approval of the
judges—Russell Patterson, noted
illustrator; and Meyer Mishkin,
who had substituted for Joseph
Holton, also a 20th Century-Fox
talent scout—she needed a graceful figure, and she attributes t h a t

Old-Timers Staying On

New York City is finding a partial solution to its manpower
troubles right in the ranks of City employees. Many old-timers who

They need the consent of Mayor LaGuardia and the Board of Estimate—'Which is given gladly.

Post Comes Out Councilman Asks
Fast—1 Name on It Change in Fire
Setting some kind of a new record for speed, the NYC Civil Service Commission last week published the eligible list for Promotion to Executive Officer, Department of Parks.
Eight candidates filed for the
test, which pays $10,000 a year,
only two were called in for the
oral examination.
The fact that Arthur S. Hodgkiss had passed the test was made
public a few hours after the end of
the examination. He is now serving as executive officer of the
Parks Department.
Retirements
Pensions to members of t h e
NYC Fire Department who are
disabled in military service may
be approved by the trustees of the
Fire Department instead of by
Commissioner Patrick Walsh, if a
bill introduced into the City Council last week becomes law.
The bill, sponsored by Frederick
Schick of Staten Island, also provides that such pensions shall exceed one-half the salary of the
firemen at time of retirement.

Is New York State
By-Passing Civil Service?
W
HAT looks like a cold attempt to by-pass civil service procedures, supersede the Feld-Hamilton
career law, and to stymie the State Salary Standardization Board, has just been perpetrated in Albany.
A new rule (Rule VIII-C) regarding "emergency" institutional appointments provides that, "Whenever it appears impracticable, because of emergency conditions, to fill
or continue a position in State . . . institutions on a permanent basis, the Commission, by special resolution, may authorize appointments on an emergency basis." When an emergency exists and when it is over will be determined solely by
the Commission.
A second, and even more significant part of the new
rule provides that "Any employee occupying a permanent
position . . . who accepts an emergency a p p o i n t m e n t . . . shall
be granted a leave of absence from his former position . . .
ana the vacancy resulting from this leave of absence shall
be filled on an emergency basis for a like period. . .

owned by the S t a t e and rented to employees. Previous to October 1,
1943, the date on which the new "Maintenance Charge Schedule"
went into effect, the value of the monthly rental was set a t $18.00.
T h e new rate established for these houses is $40.00 which is based
on r e n t s charged for comparable houses in the area. As Dr. Bonafede
s t a t e d : "No one challenges t h e f a c t t h a t the original r e n t was low,"
but, he added, "when t h e new rental values went up for employees
in the lower paid groups, there was no compensatory increase in their
cash salary to offset this additional raise in rent." This situation was
discussed with the Albany office of t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Mental Hygiene. I t was stated t h a t each employee's schedule of gross salary
would be checked and if any errors were found they would be corrected. Under date of J u n e 8th, I received a letter f r o m Dr. Bona
fede giving me certain information I h a d requested and t h e following
is quoted f r o m this letter:
" I n reply to your letter of J u n e 5th, relative to the rental values
of houses occupied by employees, I would advise you t h a t a n esti
m a t e according to a n a r r a n g e m e n t with t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Mental
Hygiene is being submitted reducing r e n t s t o $18.00 per m o n t h
retroactive to October 1, 1943. I h a d not known t h a t t h e D e p a r t m e n t
h a d intended to correct this situation when I wrote to you." And
6o the question of r e n t s was settled without difficulty.
Anoher Source
T H E O T H E R SOURCE of irritation reported by Dr. Bonafede
was the question of whether or not these employees occupying rented
S t a t e owned houses were entitled to laundry service. I n his letter
Dr. Bonafede stated " t h e S t a t e contends t h a t since the employee is
receiving his full salary, h e is not entitled to receive laundry service.
T h e employees contend t h a t as long as they live on institution
grounds they are resident employees and entitled to this service.
T h e provision in the "Maintenance Charge Schedule" applicable in
t h i s instance reads as follows:—"Special Laundry Adjustment"—No
resident employee not entitled to family maintenance shall have his
gross salary on September 30, 1943, increased by t h e value of personal
a n d household laundry done for him and his family prior t o t h a t
d a t e . Any such laundry done a f t e r September 30, 1943, shall be
charged for at t h e rate of $2.50 per m o n t h for each family member
other t h a n such officer or employee." Hence, it would seem t h a t t h e
employee is entitled to have his family laundry done in t h e
institution laundry at a cost of $2.50 per m o n t h for each member
of his family, other t h a n himself, providing, however, t h a t t h e
laundry is equipped to take care of this service. On taking this
m a t t e r up with t h e Department of Mental Hygiene, I was advised
t h a t Dr. Newton J. T. Bigelow, Deputy Commissioner, h a d written to
Dr. W. H. Veeder, Director of Craig Colony, under d a t e of J u n e 6th,
as follows:
"The D e p a r t m e n t believes t h a t you should interpret t h e section
on laundry rates of t h e Maintenance Charge Schedule literally. I t
would appear t h a t resident employees should be allowed their personal and household laundry without charge, but a charge should be
m a d e for personal laundry of such in t h e household as are not employees." And so, t h e other problem h a s been settled.
I wish to point out t h a t both of these questions were settled by
t h e Commissioner of Mental Hygiene in a m a n n e r acceptable to t h e
employees a n d without a n y "fuss or f u r y " other t h a n t h e simple
procedure of calling t h e situation to the attention of t h e proper
officials.

Appeals For Releases
To Enlist In
Military
Organizations
I F YOU ARE a State employee
and your appointing officer has
denied you a release to enlist in
one of the military organizations,
such as the WACS or the WAVES,
you can appeal to t h e State Civil
Service Commission for such
statement of availability. A recent communication of t h e State
Department of CivU Service indicates t h a t t h e Commission will
handle such cases in the same
m a n n e r as appeals f r o m denials
of releases to go from S t a t e employment to other civilian employment.
The Appeal
Procedure
T h e appeal procedure relating
to certificates of availability to
engage in civilian work, as outlined in t h e S t a t e Civil Service
Commission's memorandum directed to all State appointing officers under date of April 15,
1944, includes the following:
"If a 'Statement of Availability'
is denied by t h e agency head, the
employee shall be advised t h a t he
may, within three days, appeal
directly to t h e State Civil Service
Commission for a review of such
decision. T h e appeal shall be in
a form prescribed by t h e Civil
Service Commission. T h e employee shall also submit a copy
of his appeal to his agency head
who thereupon shall file promptly
with t h e CivU Service Commission
Page Seven
a full and complete statement of
the reasons why said employee's
request was denied. After receipt
of the employee's appeal the Civil
Service Commission or its designated representative shall promptly review his case and render a
decision which shall be forwarded
in writing to t h e employee and
his agency head. T h e Civil Service Commission may supplement
t h e records submitted ,in its discretion, by informal hearings.
" I n the event the employee is
dissatisfied with the decision of
the Civil Service Commission, he
may appeal at a local office of t h e
United States Employment Service. Such office will be responsible for securing such information or records as it may wish
from the employee, and the complete file in the case from the
Civil Service Commission for submission to the W a r Manpower
Area Appeals Committee. A hearing will be scheduled by t h e War
Manpower Area Appeals Committee and t h e employee and the
Civil Service Commission notified
of the time and place T h e Civil
Service Commission may designate a representative, either f r o m
its own staff or t h a t of the
agency head, to attend t h e h e a r ing and present evidence. T h e
employee may also be represented
by any duly authorized person or
organization. T h e decision of the
Area Appeals Committee will be
forwarded promptly to t h e Civil
Service Commission, with notice
of t h e right of t h e dissatisfied
p a r t y to appeal to the next level
to make high-paying connections
in industry and this probably
prompted the application of f o u r
of the department's auditors t o
escape the freeze ban. All were
denied.
Three appeals for certificates
came from employees of
the
Public Works D e p a r t m e n t and 5
came f r o m workers in t h e Correction Department. The H e a l t h
Department
produced
appeals
from four employees.

State Assn. Evolves 9-Point
To Improve the Retirement
ALBANY—Members of the Retirement Study Committe of the Association of State Civil Service Employees,
headed by Charles C. Dubuar, have drafted the outlines of
a nine-point program looking to the "humanization" of the
state retirement system.
T h e program was formally
adopted by members of t h e committee and will be presented,
a f t e r re-writing and compilation
in briefed form, to S t a t e Comptroller F r a n k C. Moore, who , is
presently engaged in recodifying
t h e retirement act.
I n general, the nine points are:
—Optional retirement at age 55
A or a f t e r t h i r t y years of service
for all institution employees a n d
other employees whose duties i n volve substantial physical exertion.
—A vesting of retirement benefits if a n employee is separ a t e d f r o m the service a f t e r fifteen
years of employment, or a f t e r ten
years of employment if he is 45
years of age. At the present time
such employees lose all their rights
in the Retirement System upon
separation f r o m the service. U n der the proposed a m e n d m e n t they
would have t h e privilege of leaving
their f u n d s in the Retirement System so t h a t they would be eligible
for a retirement allowance when
they reach age 60.
—A minimum retirement allowance for all employees. T h e
of appeal. T h e Civil Service
Commission will be responsible for
notifying both t h e employee and
t h e agency head."
Necessity For Releases
It should be noted t h a t t h e r e
is nothing in t h e New York S t a t e
Military Law or in the Civil Ser
vice Law or Rules which requires
a S t a t e employee to obtain a release f r o m his appointing officer
before he can enlist in t h e armed
forces. Under our law, S t a t e em
ployees who enter upon military
duty must be given a military
leave of absence for the duration
of their military service. Such
leave of absence is m a n d a t o r y
and must be given whether the
employee is d r a f t e d or enters t h e
armed forces by way of enlist
ment.
However, while an appointing
officer is unable to prevent an
employee's induction, he may be
able to prevent his enlistment. T h e
appointing officer's power to orevent enlistments is derived, indirectly, from the various branches
of t h e military service t h a t re
quire an enlistee to receive his
employer's release before h e ca'i
be sworn in. As a result oi this
condition, imposed by t h e military
authoriites themselves, S t a t e em
ployees who would otherwise have
been acceptable as officers or enlistees nave been turned away. A1
though such employees could have
gotten around their appointing
officer's refusal to g r a n t a release
by resigning, this would mean t h e
loss of civil service status. E m ployees resigning prior to entering
the armed forces are not entitled
to military leaves of absence and
their jobs could be filled on a per
m a n e n t basis during thoM' absence.
minimum would be graduated
depending upon the years of service.
—Increased d e a t h benefits for
employees who die in service.
'—Reduction of interest rates on
' loans to members.
—Insuring all loans in the Retirement System so t h a t upon
the death of any member who h a d
borrowed f r o m the System t h e
loan would be repaid from a f u n d
accumulated f r o m a portion of t h e
interest payments.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Leona Hudson Is Winner
In War Service Contest
Why They Won
The War Service
Contest Prizes
A spirit of patriotism which
led her to give the hours between
4 and 8 a.m. for service as a planespotter with the Army Air Forces;
to serve with other civilian war
agencies; to make 7 blood donations; to save regularly through
War Bond payroll deductions; to
knit for the Red Cross; all these
combined to bring Miss Leona
Hudson the award as "the woman
state employee who done most for
the war effort." Miss Hudson is
an Assistant Cancer Biochemist
in the Institute for the Study of
Malignant Diseases, State Department of Health, Buffalo, N. Y.
The prize she has received is a
$350 fur coat donated by I. J . Pox,
and A LEADER trophy, but she
says t h a t the spirit behind the
LEADER contest means more to
her t h a n the material rewards.
"I am happy," says Miss Hudson, "not so much t h a t I have
been selected as the winner, but
t h a t this contest was held. I t has
brought to the attention of the
public, the unsung work which
thousands of State employees
have done in support of the war."

These are the activities on
which General J o h n J. Bradley,
USA, Ret., based his selection of
Miss Leona Hudson as grand
prize winner, and Mrs. Ann George
as another top-prize winner in
The LEADER'S War Service Contest. Records of the other contestants, Miss J a n e t Strube a n d
Miss Barbara Heidenreich, will

Supreme Court
Employees Are
County Officers
ALBANY—Officers and
employees of the Supreme Court
whose functions are limited to
particular counties are "local
officers" and under jurisdiction
of the county civil service, Attorney General Goldstein ruled
this week. In a reply to a query
f r o m Joseph Schechter, counsel to
the State Ciril Service Commission, the opinion goes on to say
t h a t such court employees, where
their functions extend beyond a
county, a»ve local officers, not
stc.te officers, but are subject to
the jurisdiction of the State civil
service commission.
mediate relatives in the armed
forces, but feels that as an American it was her duty to do everything in her power to bring the
boys back as soon as possible.
She is the daughter of Mrs.
Kathryn Hudson—her father died
when she was an infant—who
lives with her in Buffalo. A native
of Illinois, born in the small town
of Prophetstown, she first came
to New York a f t e r completing her
education - a t the University of
Illinois where she received a
bachelor's and Master's degree in
Chemistry, specializing in biochemistry. She first came to
Rochester, where she was employed in the Rochester General
Hospital. Thep, when she h a d
met the residential requirements,
she took the State examination
for Research Assistant and received her appointment to the
State Institute for the Study of
Malignant' Diseases a t Buffalo.
She's a Scientist
T h a t was 13 years ago, and
since then she has been one of
the group of scientists working
for the State who are striving to
find a cure for the dread malady
of cancer.
At college she studied French
and German. Since then she has
picked up Italian, Spanish and
Russian; and has studied astronomy as another hobby.
Believes In Organization
She is a firm believer in a strong
employee organization for public
employees and was one of the
leading forces which resulted in
the recent addition of the G r a t wick Chapter to the Association
of State Civil Service Employees.
She has helped draw up the constitution for the Chapter; h a s
been chosen a^member of its Legislative Committee; and even selectd. the name, after Mrs. G r a t wick, whose financial contribution
helped start the original Institute
for the Study of Malignant Diseases.

In ten years, you'll get back four

That is — unless you redeem

them
You see, in one respect, War Bonds
are like eggs—you've got to let 'em
hatch to get the most profit from them.
So let 'em hatch, Brother, let 'em
hatch!
Sure, there may be times when you need
money. But before you cash in your
War Bonds, take a minute to think of
the future—and then stick those precious Bonds back in their hiding placet
Here's something else to remember.
Whenever a War Bond is redeemed before maturity, it means not only less
profit for the person who cashes it in
—it also takes those dollars out of
the fight.
So be smart. Buy all the War Bonds
you can. Put them where they'll be
safe— and let 'em
hatch!

That's W h y Everyone Likes Mellow Light Ruppert
• It's "Make Mine Ruppert" at taverns,
bars, and restaurants all over town. It's
"Make Mine Ruppert" at delicatessen and
grocery counters. It's "Make Mine Ruppert"
at beaches and country clubs. And the reason for this popularity is flavor — flavor
with a smooth, satisfying mellowness that
only s-L-O-W AGEING brings.
You see, Ruppert is not just another
light beer—it's the light beer that's s-L-o-w
AGED and mellowed to a full flavor peak in
the largest ageing facilities in the East.
Don't just say, "I'll have a beer." From
now on enjoy the beer that's mellow and
yet light—refreshing—full-flavored—satisfying. Get into the good habit of saying,
"Make Mine Ruppert." You couldn't ask
for better beer at any price.

W h a t will happen around the
NYC Department of Welfare after
"V" day is becoming the concern
f f f a r sighted Welfare employees.
The Veterans Division of the dep a r t m e n t is already beginning to
get a foretaste of what conditions
t h e department will face after the
war. With a low of 125 workers,
t h a t bureau is now facing a shortge of help. When need for investigators show up, there are plenty
around the other Welfare Centers
who can be spared to work with
t h e veterans.
After World War I
But after the war, conditions
will be different. Following World
War I, the staff of the Welfare
Department expanded so greatly
t h a t there were 16,617 employees
in the Home Relief Division alone.
Today the entire department h a s
only 4,492 employees.
I Some of the persons now working for the City Welfare Departm e n t may find themselves State
employees in the future. A State
Rehabilitation Program is now in
its inception and it may absorb
t h e Veterans and other welfare
sub-divisions.
^
Veteran Aid
According to law the veterans
side of Welfare activities consists
of helping not only veterans but
also their dependents. Today there
are still widows and daughters of
Civil War veterans who are receiving assistance. An increasing
fc. number of World War II veterans
*are being referred t o the departm e n t by the various veterans organizations and the Federal Veterans Administration which h a s
close connection with Welfare activities.
Some Welfare employees are
a f r a i d t h a t the present administ r a t i o n of the department is not
showing sufficient imagination in
setting the framework for facing
f u t u r e problems. The abolition of
Welfare Centers; stretching caseloads over wide areas; relaxing because the present load of 101,350
cases reflects war-time prosperi t y is a bad policy they feel.
They would like to see the organization kept a t peak efficiency
t o be able to meet any emergency
t h a t might be brought on by postwar economic conditions. Even
with the increase in State and
Federal participation in Welfare
work, they predict a big post-war
job for the municipal agency. P a r ticularly if another depression
should come along.

Some of the Naval civil service
guards working at installations
around New York City are peeved
because they are assigned to do
jobs they don't consider part of
their duties. A lot of the men
figure t h a t such assignments as
cleaning floors and heads (lavatories to civilians), running elevators and answering phones
shouldn't be handed to men who
are guards.
But the U. S. Civil Service
Commission explains t h a t these
guards are part of the protective
and custodial service, and t h a t
they can be required to protect the
buildings from dirt as well as
from intruders.
State Employe Makes
Military History
A State employee now stationed
with the Army in P a n a m a has
made a unique mark in military
annals. He is Pfc. Sol Messias,
formerly an attorney with the
State Industrial Board. A buddy
of his got in some trouble and was
called in for a court martial. His
friend picked Private Messias to
defend him—and was cleared.
Old-timers in the Army say it's
the first time they ever heard of
a private defending a soldier at
a military court, and the P a n a m a
newspapers gave the case a big
spread.

mediate rates within a grade.
Rep. Rees of Kansas has a bill
before the House which would
make the law perfectly clear t h a t
the size of a unit or the number
of employees supervised need not
be regarded by anyone as the
sole factor determining the grade
and pay of the supervisor.
When Congress adjourned it
apparently was in no mood for
civil service legislation of any
sort. To curry the favor of as
many voters as possible on the
eve of one of the most important
elections in the history of the
nation, however, Congress can be
expected to give serious thought
to this legislation which is generally believed will better the lot
of the Government worker.

forward to an examination for
Personnel Officer which had been
ordered by the Civil Service Commission and were waiting to learn
the eligibility requirement.
But last week, they got the bad
news. The Commission ordered
the test cancelled and denied the
request of the Health Department
for an open competitive test.

War Prisoner
Wants Job as
Health Inspector
T h e Municipal Reference Library is busily occupied answering
the daily questions of its municipal public, but they also take the
time to collect books and magazines and supply them to the men
in the armed services. Only recently the Municipal Reference
Library established a service to
supply men in the armed service
with books they want. Recently,
however, a totally different request h a s come to the Library's
Public Health Division which
merits interest and attention.
One of the social agencies referred a specific request from a
Prisoner of War who was confined
in a prison camp in Germany to
the Library's Public Health Division Librarian. He desired several
good books on the subject of City
Health Inspector. The Prisoner of
War wrote t h a t he had plenty of
time and he desired to utilize it in
preparng himself for the next
civil service examination for City
Health Inspector. T h e Librarian
immediately recommended several
good titles which woi\ld help him,
a n d the agency proceeded to purchase them and supply them to
this optimistic and ambitious
Prisoner of War.
The prompt, efficient service
which this request received by the
Municipal Reference Library is
one of the many services available
to all who make use of the Library's resources.

We recently tried to buy more land at the same price
we paid last year but found the owners of large desirable estates were asking and getting four and five
