T h e Council message was deeply critical of the m a n n e r in which t h e bonus h a d originally been distributed, ..when some agencies which didn't "play ball" with t h e Mayor were • excluded. . ' "Some d e p a r t m e n t s a n d various employees have been arbitrarily refused and have not been granted .t ~~ such bonus, despite the f a c t t h a t their duties have been heavier a n d they are at least as deserving as those who have been granted the bonus," said t h e Council. No Additional Expense G r a n t i n g a p e r m a n e n t Increase would involve no additional expense, added t h e Coimcil, a n d would contribute to t h e peace of inind and f u t u r e welfare of t h e City employees. "The City of New York c a n ill a f f o r d to continue to be pictured as a n employer who practices u n fair. discrimination In t h e p a y m e n t of wages, or who dangles over t h e head of each employee t h e a n n u a l t h r e a t of bonus w i t h drawal," said the resolution, which was jointly introduced by Councilm a n Louis Cohen, head of t h e Council Finance Committee a n d V i c e - c h a i r m a n Joseph T. S h a r key. May Be Later Opinion around City Hall was t h a t the Mayor and the Board of Estimate would n o t immediately follow the suggestion of the Council resolution, but t h a t the p e r m a n e n t increase might come through in the f u t u r e . One suggestion was t h a t Mayor LaGuardia might wait until just before t h e next Mayoral election, a n d then come through with t h e increase; in any event, it all seems to depend on the f r o n t m a n in City Hall, as he pretty well controls t h e m a j o r i t y votes of t h e Estimate Board members. Sen. Halpern Urges State Budget Head Not to Tamper Witli Field-Hamilton Law State Senator Seymour Halpern (Republican, Queens), chaii'man of the Senate Civil Service Committee, this week came out for higher salary allocations to State employees, effective immediately; and for preservation of the FeldHamilton career law. I n a letter to Budget Director J o h n E. Burton, Mr. Halpern, who had been instrumental in publicizing evil conditions in t h e State's m e n t a l hygiene institutioixs, said; write you only because I deeply feel t h e urgency of both these problems—the necessity of Affirmative action on salary, a n d ttie necessity of delaying action J on changing the Feld-Hamilton law." He said he feitt t h a t operations of t h e Feld-Hamilton law had been s m o o t h , - a n d t h a t it should not now be tampered with. Senator Halpern's letter follows in full: "Dear Mr. B u r t o n : "The investigation of Creedmoor S t a t e Hospital a n d t h e resultant probe of the State's Men- tal Hygiene D e p a r t m e n t revealed some startling a n d unbelievable facts, as you know. The Creedmoor Probe " I a m proud of t h e role I played in instigating t h e clean-up. I was pleased witli Governor Dewey's immediate and decisive action when I brought to his attention the intolerable conditions, I witnessed duiing my probe of t h e hospital. T h e Moreland Commission conducted a n excellent investigation. Yes, there was action and plenty of it. T h e superintendent resigned, t h e Commissioner of Mental Hygiene quit under fire. The S t a t e entered upon a new era of enlighteed t r e a t m e n t in the Mental Hygiene field. "A new commissioner of mental hygiene was appointed—an expert in hospital administration.

I t is a s t a t e m e n t by Civil Service Commissioner A r t h u r S. Flemming. He poses this question: " W h a t are our prospects of continuing to work f o r t h e United States Government?" Here is his answer; "No one knows what t h e size of t h e Federal Government is going to be a f t e r t h e cessation of hos- . tillties in Europe, nor what It is going to be a f t e r t h e cessation of hostilities in t h e Pacific. "But for a period of time following t h e cessation of hostilities in t h e Pacific, we know t h a t t h e problems of demobilization, t h e post-war responsibilities of Government, a n d t h e normal operations of Government will require t h e continued existence of m a n y thousands of positions now filled by war-service appointees. Some Will Be Released "Some war-service appointees will be released f r o m t h e Federal payroll because of t h e r e t u r n of men a n d women who left other t h a n temporary positions to enter the Armed Forces. " O t h e r war-service appointees will lose their positions on t h e Federal payroll because of t h e r e t u r n to their f o r m e r positions of . career civilian employees who t r a n s f e r r e d to agencies where, in t h e j u d g m e n t of t h e Civil Service Commission, they could m a k e a better contribution to t h e war program. j "Still other war-service appointees will lose their positions on t h e Federal payroll because of a r e duction in t h e total personnel strength of t h e Federal Government. These reductions will be carried out with due regard to efficiency, preference for veterans,a n d length of service. "But a f t e r all of these things h a v e happened, t h e r e will still be war-service appointees In positions in t h e Federal Government, both a f t e r the cessation of hostilities In Europe, and a f t e r t h e cessation of hostilities In t h e Pacific.

We feel t h a t t h e public administrator and t h e employee of a governm e n t agency require more t h a n a weekly resume of civil service rules, regulations, lists, complaints, a n d personnel changes. They will be better public servants, better governmental technicians, if they know w h a t n e w t h i n g s a r e being planned in their d e p a r t ments, a n d in others; if they know wtiav new devices a n d methods are becoming available in transportation, sanitation, health, police, education, welfare, hospital, sewage, a n d fire work. THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION section (see pages 10 and 11) will deal with news, plans, programs of States, counties, cities, towns and villages; it will present t h e problems of some communities, a n d relate the solutions to problems by other communities; it will record new ideas by public officials and employees a n d by others whose work and talents are i m p o r t a n t in government.

WAGNER United States Senator, State of New York At the present time, 35 million workers in the United States are insured under the various unemployment insurance laws of the 48 states. Machinists, shipyard workers, carpenters, clerks, typists and messengers who work for private employers are covered under the State laws but* the machinist, shipyard worker, carpenter, clerk, typist or messenger who works f6r the Federal Government is not protected under the existing unemployment insurance laws. This discrimination is unfair and unjust. D u r i n g t h e w a r millions of Americans patriotically went to work f o r Unci© S a m in Navy Yards, arsenals, m u n i t i o n plants, a n d In t h e offices of t h e W a r Dep a r t m e n t , Navy D e p a r t m e n t , V e t e r a n s ' Administration, a n d o t h e r d e p a r t m e n t s set u p to h e l p win t h e w a r . If t h e s e workers h a d t a k e n jobs in p r i v a t e industry, t h e y would h a v e been covered under the unemployment insura n c e laws of t h e various S t a t e s . B u t because t h e y w e n t t o work for the Federal Government, u n e m p l o y m e n t i n s u r a n c e protection is denied t h e m .

(/. 5. Employees Haven't Lost Jobless Pay Fight ELL, Congress took the George bill without the provision calling for unemployment insurance to Federal employees. The Senate, which had been strong for the employees on this issue, acceded to the Ways and Means Committee of the House, which had been truculent against it. The Senators acquiesced only because the remaining items in the George bill were considered important in the reconversion period, and speed was essential. Nevertheless, the Federal employees have not lost. Their position is stronger than it ever has been. And their cbances of obtaining an unemployment compensation measure are good. It will have to be, though, as a separate bill, and not part of thejover-all George act. So powerful was the case for the employees, that they mustered support from such men as Bernard Baruch, Governor Warren of California, Senator Wagner of New York, Clare Booth Luce, and even Arthur Krock, conservative political commentator of the New York Times. The issue thus transcends parties—for the persons represented in this group are impoi-tant cogs in both major political parties. What's to be done now? First, Federal employees and their organizations should not let up. They must continue to pound the drums. The movement now under way (reported in last week's LEADER) for collaboration of the three major Federal employee organizatibns on legislative matters, offers a method of presenting the politicians with a solid unity among the employees themselves. The public relations of the situation should not be overlooked : Newspaper editors, columnists, radio commentators should be given the facts —and the facts add up inevitably to the necessity of passing an unemployment insurance bill for the employees. And above all—talk back to the politicians! This is the time of year they've got to listen! Federal employees are close to winning for themselves what employees in private industry won years ago. But they can only obtain this protection by continuing the fight until the moment an unemployment insurance bill is passed by both houses of Congress. ^ Don't give up now! [Note: Read Sen. Robert F.

The Democratic Picture Here's how the Democratic political picture in New York State sizes up a t this point: First, with State chairman Paul Fitzpatrick touring the State sweating out good will, making promises, trying to build up party spirit, two old-timers are doing the basic political spadework: They're Vincent Dailey a n d Clarence Low. . . . Morale among t h e clubhouse boys is still down. This is n a t u r a l a f t e r 12 years of disappointment for most of them, who didn't get the f a t jobs they thought were waiting for them. T h e work these boys are Uoing a m o u n t s to exactly zero in terms of political effectiveness, . , . You'll find three types of Democrats nowadays: The laissez faire or "lazy" type, who are sure the election is in the bag. If it goes their way, they'll take credit. T h e n you'll find the idealistic type, to whom FD is God, a n d must win the election by virtue of t h a t fact. These talk mostly to themselves. And third, are the realists, who know the election figures, and aren't afraid of facts, whether pleasant or ugly. The realists are also t h e pessimists. . . . Whole sections of the State, and of New York City, too, which are witnessing great Dewey zeal, haven't seen a single Democratic Roosevelt worker or even Roosevelt poster. . . . The Republicans are working hard, first, because one group wants to get rid of " t h a t m a n in the White House"; a second group is hungry for jobs. The Democrats haven't got similar driving impulses. . . . How much off base the Democratic organizations are is evidenced by the f a c t t h a t Robert Wagner, who has done as much for labor as any man, failed to get a n AFL endorsement; and, in fact. Tom Curran, his GOP opponent in the Senatorial race, was able to split t h a t branch of t h e labor movement, breaking off the support of Longshorem a n Joe Ryan, building trades officials, arid certain AFL firem a n groups. However, this piece of business h a s poured a dash of cold water on the Democrats, and may yet be enough to spark them before they fall completely apart. Incidentally, Assemblyman Robert Crews was helpful to Curran in lining u p AFL support. . . . Another angle: F i o r e 11 o LaGuardia, whose support used to be worth a ton of dynamite, h a s been promises, trying to build up no longer possesses t h e strong following he once had. And some of his GOP friends are reminding him that only Dewey can h a n d him the Republican Mayoralty nomination next year, which he needs even to run close-up in the campaign. . . . The only zealous work for FDR is beinc done by PAC. . . .

He made it a policy to follow all t h e notices on t h e bulletin boai'd, and a little note which he saw posted there last April will probably change his whole life. " I always had a feeling for engineering," says Herbert Coddington, "but varied reasons, including money, kept me f r o m taking college courses and when I saw a notice t h a t New York University was offering City employees a chance to win night school scholarships, I t h o u g h t I'd try for it." "First I had to get t h e recommendation of t h e Board, t h e n I sent NYU a copy of my high school recoi-d, and finally I was called in for a pretty stiff two-day examination. I t was mostly a test of general information, and I thought I did well.

PROGRAMS AND TECITNIQUES OF OFFICIALS. EXECUTIVES. ADMINISTRATORS AND PERSONNEL IN ALL PUBLIC AGENCIES Setting Up a State Economic Bureau By PAUL G. TOMLINSON Chief. Bureau of State Publicity and Infinnation State of New Jersey NEW JERSEY'S S t a t e D e p a r t m e n t of Economic Development came into being on July 1. 1944. I t was created to anticipate postwar problems a n d t o plan and coordinate t h e State's p a r t in t h e f u t u r e economic, industrial, agricultural, social and recreational activities of its citizens. T h e D e p a r t m e n t consists of a Commissioner, who is in charge of the administrative work of the organization, a n d a n Economic Council of ten members, a policy forming group representing industry, labor, veterans, local gove r n m e n t a n d t h e public. Three Divisions There are three principle subdivisions of t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Economic Development: The Division of Veterans' Services which includes the Bureaus of Claims and Benefits, Veterans' Loans a n d Veterans' Employment. T h e Bureau of Claims concerns itself primarily in assisting veterans a n d their dependents to secure benefits f r o m t h e Federal Government to which bhey may be entitled, but will help Service, veterans to solve any kind of problem with which they m a y be confronted. T h e Bureau of Veterans' Loans, through a subdivision called the Veterans' Loan Authority, guarantees, on behalf of t h e State, 90% of loans up to $3,000 secured by the veterans f r o m New Jersey banks for the purpose of establishing or r e establishing themselves in a business or profession. T h e Bureau of Veterans' Employment a d m i n isters a program of voluntary commitments by employers and labor organizations for their p a r ticipation in a plan of veterans preference in private employment. The Division of Commerce and Municipal Aid cooperates with industry in the development and administration of programs for the improvement of business and working conditions t h r o u g h out the State, t h e development of technical services, a n d the " i n crease of employment opportunities and t h e encouragement of free private enterprise." This Division also administers a M u n icipal Service Bureau, which op- This Is the Sfory of One State's Bureau of Economic Development — How It Works, What It Hopes to Accomplish.

I t h a s a Bureau of Research and S t a t i s tics; a Bureau of Economic Development charged with t h e d u t y of making known t h e resources and opportunities in t h e S t a t e ; and a Bureau of State Publicity and Information. The Division of Planning anid .^Engineering h a s a "master p l a n " for t h e physical development of the S t a t e including, a m o n g other things, more efficient r u r a l l a n d utilization, removal of slum areas in cities, a n d t h e Improvement of u r b a n living a n d housing conditions generally. I t is accumulating a Public Work Reserve, which consists of a list of plans for public work projects to be undertaken by counties, municipalities, school districts a n d other State Departments a t any f u t u r e time when the needs and conditions are most fax'orable. What the Department Does T h e D e p a r t m e n t of Economic Development is engaged in coordinating all plans for the physical development of New Jersey, including plans f o r highways, airpofts, parks, parkways, water supply development, terminal a n d h a r b o r facilities, food control, land use, recreation areas and forest reservations. I t will develop plans for improved t r a n s portation facilities in s u b u r b r n residential areas; m a k e studies of rural land utilization for r e forestation, reclamation and r e creation, summer residence and industrial and urban expansion. I t s program calls for t h e i n vestigation of living conditions. Ideas for Reducing Traffic Accidents By HAROLD F. HAMMOND President, Institute of Trafik Egineers ALL MOTOR VEHICLE t r a f f i c experts agree t h a t t h e use of streets and highways will increase tremendously in post-war years, perhaps doubling 1941 volume by 1960. Registrations are expected to exceed 40 million and licensed drivers to exceed 50 million. Community post-war t r a f f i c problem number one, in the m a jority opinion of t h e nation's t r a f f i c exc>erts, will be what t h e pre-war motorist considered his m a j o r headache—parking. T h a t is t h e consensus of a survey just completed by t h e National Conservation Bureau, accident prevention department of t h e Association of Casualty and Surety Executives. T h e Big Problems Th/s new fluid-heat motor vehicle heater ^as found use on busses. bulldozers, cranes, compressors, and trucks. The exchanger Is constructed of stainless steel with gas-tight eonthuous welded seams. There are only three moving parts—motor, fan, and a standard automotive-type pump. plied to a i r c r a f t heaters, is used in the mechanism. The h e a t exchanger h a s four compartments with "cross-over" passes between. T h u s the f l a m e a n d hot gases have a travel of foui- times t h e length of the h e a t exchanger with the m a x i m u m area of h e a t ing surface exposed to the heating air. Combustion air is p r e - h e a t ed in a tube which extends through the length of one exchanger compartment. Tlie heater h a s been used iu heavy trucks and trailers, artic rescue sleds, mobile laboratories, busses and other v e h i c l e s . Mounted on wheels or skids it may be used for pre-heating engines of bulldozers, craiiies, compressors and numerous other applications where h e a t is a n aid to starting or operating.

State COMPETITIVE BIDS Are Back: Competition is hotter and prices 'are lower among: strect-surfacing contractors these days as the pressure of war work ceases, says City Engineer, Charles L. Wartelle, jpt Seattle. Street jobs, which less than a year ago attracted only a lone bidder, now draw from six to seven contractors as in pre-war days. "Prices have dropped, too," he reports. "Before the war we paid $1.38 a yard for certrain kinds of resurfacing. A year ago we were paying $2.15 a yard. Now, with fewer military contracts being offered, the city gets bids of $1.75 a yard. But I doubt that prices are going to drop to pre-war levels." • « • NEW YORK CITY'S billion a n d a quarter dollar public works expansion program to provide jobs for a quarter million service m e n a n d women directly a f t e r cessation of hostilities, is the subject of "Peacetime Jobs," a series of twelve h a l f - h o u r discussion programs j>n the municipal radio station, Tuesday and Friday nights, from 8 to 8:30 P.M., by City officials. • • • NEWTON CITIZENS Know Why: A leaflet was enclosed in each envelope containing the lax bill for Newton, Mass., informing 4ax-paying citizens what they are getting for their money.

Wide Posf-War Use Seen For Aisdio-Visual Aids CAMDEN, N. J.—Wider use of audio-visual methods in teaching during the post-war period are forseen by Paul Thornton, Educational Director of the RCA Victor Division, Radio Corporation of America, as a result of the progressive action now being taken by school administrators and teachers. "Tlie successful use of audiovisual aids by the Army and Navy will add emphasis to the almost universal adoption of these aids in the nation's school systems a f t e r the war," Mr. T h o r n t o n said. " T h e question i.s: Can schools teach the G - I way?" To Enlarge Field Mr. Thornton added t h a t RCA Victor will resume distribution of Highway Bill Of Interest To Civil Employees WASHINGTON—Officials and employees in S t a t e and municipal departments devoted to public works and roadbuilding will be much interested in a bill approved unanimously by t h e House R o a d s ' C o m m i t t e e . T h e bill, HR 4915, means if it should be passed, t h a t their jobs a f t e r the war will be much more secure. T h e measure provided $1,500,000 for post-war road c o n s t r u c t i o n . Under the terms of the bill, onethird of this sum would become available for each of three successive years. A precedent Is established by t h e provision of the bill e a r m a r k ing f u n d s for metropolitan highways in urban areas of over 10,000 population; $125 million for secondary and feeder roads; and $225 million for federal aid highway systems both in and outside cities of ten thousand or more population. State Must Contribute One-half of one per cent of the funds apportioned to any state may be used for plans, surveys, engineering and economic research. All federal contributions are contingent upon state participaUon ot 40 per ceAt of the pro- the following services and equipm e n t as soon as available: School phonographs, AM and PM receivers, combination phonograph-radios 16 mm. sound film projectors General sound systems Portable public adress systems Recording equipment Transcripted p l a y - b a c k s f 3 3 - l / 3 and 78 rpm) Electronic tubes — receiving, .power and cathode ray and all allied types Laboratory equipment — wide variety of electric test equipment, including the RCA dynamic demonstrator. P M and AM transmitters, studio equipment, electron microscope (new desk sized console type) ject cost t h e first year, and 50 per cent each subsequent year. T h e Senate has under consideration a $3,375,250,000 statefederal highway construction program. Senator Barkley is reported pressing for passage before adjourment. The House bill is based largely upon suggestions made by officers of t h e American Association of S t a t e Highway Officials, resulting largely f r o m a concensus of testimony by municipal officials, representatives of farmers, industry and labor throughout the country. Representative Ramspeck of Georgia is reported to have predicted t h a t the House will adjourn by October 1st. The highway legislation will have h a r d sledding if it is to pass by t h a t time, unless Congress "hears from home." Human Relations In Management WASHINGTON—"Human Relations in M a n a g e m e n t " is the title of a subject t h a t formed t h e basis of discussion at a m e e t ing on Monday, September 25, of t h e Society for Personnel Administration here. Main speaker was T h o m a s H. Nelson, M a n a g e m e n t Consultant for Rogers a n d Slade, of New York t?ity. Main item of interest centered around the question: "What is the role of personnel management in the pofit-wAT period?" ./ County, Town and Village From time to time, this column will be open to small-community officials for the airing of problems, suggestions and ideas. Such officials are invited to send in their contributions, and to use this space for discussion. Below is one such contribution, dealing with the retirement problem of many officials in New York State.. Part-Time County Officials Lose Out In Retirement By GLENN W. TREICHLER City Assessor, Dept. of Assessment and Taxation North Tonowanda. N. Y. T H E R E E X I S T S a t present a situation which, in my opinion, results in u n f a i r t r e a t m e n t of certain public employees u n d e r t h e New York S t a t e Retirement System. Under t h e present set-up, a member who held a full-time position prior to J a n u a r y 1, 1921, is entitled to a prior service certificate granting him full-time for service rendered prior to J a n uary 1, 1921, but a member who held a p a r t - t i m e position, such as an alderman or supervisor in one of the smaller communities in t h e State, is entitled to only a fraction of t h e time actually served, in a prior service certificate. For example, a member of the Retirement System who was a full-time employee prior to J a n u a r y 1, 1921 for a period of six years would receive a prior service certificate allowing him six years on such certificate. On t h e other hand, a member who was an alderman or county supervisor for a like period of six years prior to J a n u a r y 1, 1921. would be allowed only one-sixth of the time served or one year on his prior service certificate. The Results This results in a situation wherein a p a r t - t i m e officer or employee, .such as an alderman or supervisor, receiving a yearly salary of $3,000, could claim only partial time for services rendered prior to J a n u a r y 1, 1921, but a full-time employee, such as a policeman or fireman, having an annual .salary of $1,000, could claim full-time for services rendered prior to t h a t date. I believe t h a t this m a t t e r should be remedied by permitting a p a r t - t i m e employee or officer to claim full-time on a prior .service certificate. asse On Post-War Job SYRACUSE. N. Y.—The City of Syracuse will spend almost $11,000,000 on construction projects a f t e r the war. Here's the breakdown, as given to The LEADER by Nelson F. Pitts.

Use of Parking Meters Reported On the Increase T h e use of parking meters is reported on the increase in m a n y parts of the country and additional communities are considering the installation of eqiupment. Approximately 450 cities use parking meters. Four out of nine cities with populations between 5,000 and 1,000,000 have meters; also moi-e t h a n half of t h e 23 cities with populations of 250,000 to one-half million, a n d 29 of t h e 55 cities of 100,000 to 250,000 population, 47 of the 107 cities of 50 to 100 thousand population. The ratio of installations in smaller communities is less t h a n in the larger cities. Approximately half of the cities with populations exceeding 50,000 are using meters, a n d most of the communities t h a t ai-e not using the equipment at present, have the matter under consideration.
