CHARLES POLEHI REVEALS INSIDE STORY OF FASCIST PUBLIC SERVICE see page 10 Despite All The Talk—No Cuts In U. S. PUBLIC ADMINISTRATORS; Agencies for Some Time in the Future Importantl SOMETHING NEW! The LEADER has begun a new section dealing with Public Administration. It is our plan, in extending the scope of LEADER coverage, to make this a better publication. We feel that the public administrator and the employee of a government agency require more than a weekly resume of civil service rules, regulations, lists, complaints, and personnel changes. They will be better public servants, better goverrunental technicians, if they know what n e w t h i n g s are being planned in their departments, and in others: if they know wtiav new devices and methods are becoming available in transportation, sanitation, health, police, education, welfare, hospital, sewage, and flre 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 the problems of some communities, and relate the solutions to problems by other communities; it will record new ideas by public ofUcials and employees and by others whose work and ta.lents are impoi'tant in government. WASHINGTON—Bureau of the Budget has followed up the President's request to get ready for the transition of government to its peacetime status. Harold Smith, budget director, has notified all agencies that they must clean house and find out what functions they can drop when the war ends. He has given them 30 days to provide this information. In the face of this order, however, many agencies are asking for more employees. The huge jobs of contract termination, veteran administration, disposal of surplus property and other problems concerned with reconversion are absorbing personnel from other activities. Shifting Take Place At CPA, personnel is being agencies expected to undergo the most drastic cut. Thousands of imfilled jobs exist in the old line agencies. They have curtailed many of the their normal functions and need thousands of shifted from rationing to price control. WPB is studying the re- workers to catch up with this conversion job and few cuts are work. The President's order to cut anticipated there. Office of Defense Transportation has already the size of the agenci^ is gencut its staff to the bone.

To build up loyalty, secure better satisfied employees and lessen labor turnover. The employer must weigh these motives and objectives against the cost of the plan to him. Changes and amendments in an existing plan would logically be treated in the same manner. Of course, in that connection consideration should at all times be given to the trends in modem pension plans of employers and governmental units and to the question as to whether particular clashes of employees are being treated equitably and whether the employer is making a reasonable Sfafe Assn, Submits 11-Point Program For Improvement of Retirement System ALBANY—Charles Dubuar, chairman of the Committee on Retirement Law of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, this week submitted to State Comptroller Moore a detailed 11- point program for revision of the employees' retirement and pension systent. The repoi-t, which had the approval of the entire Executive Committee of the Association, was widely hailed by those who saw It as "a masterpiece." Unlimited credit was voiced to Mr. Dubuar and his associates, including John T. De Graff, counsel to the Association, for the completness and the readability of the repoii;. A copy, with several supporting data, was handed to State Comptroller Prank C. Moore UBider whose supervision the Retirement System is administered. The report itself paid tribute to Mr. Moore's e x p r e s s ^ desire to "humanize" the pension system. After the Comptroller and his aides have studied the Dubuar report, it is expected that Mr. Moore and representatives of the Association will sit down to discuss the vaillous points and attempt to reach some agreement on proposed revisions which will have to be made largely by amendment to the law. This may take a few weeks, but meanwhile the report itself will be made available to all state and municipal workers through The LEADER. The first section of it follows: General Statement Among the motives influencing an employer to adopt a pension lan for employees are the follow- g ig: 1. To meet the social obligation of the employer for employees who have served faithfully for long years. 2. To provide for orderly withdrawals of aged employees and to (Continued on Page 16) For More State News Pages 6, 7, 8,9, IS, 16 GENSBAL BRADLEY TALKS ABOUT DISABLED VETERANS see page 4 Page Tw« dVIL SERVICIS LEADBII TiMtdaj, OetolMr S, 1944 Full and Parf-Time Post Office Jobs Available Immediately at Good Pay Service m e n a n d women overseas are anxiously a w a i t i n g t h e i r C h r i s t m a s packages a n d letters.

Since then, however, they h a d reconsidered, and figured t h a t perhaps i t wasn't all t h e girl's fault. They h a d bought new f u r n iture, fixed up their home to make it more attractive and wanted their daughter back. T h e social worker to whom they explained the case was able to tell t h e m w h a t steps to take t o have the girl released f r o m t h e institution a n d soon t h e family will be reunited.

New York City employees seem to be pretty well satisfied with the pension system which provides f o r ' t h e i r old-age retirement. T h e City's contribution matches t h e amount paid In by t h e e m ployees; loans up to 40 per cent of the employee's contribution may be made. Employees who leave t h e City service are credited with their contributions, plus Interest. However, some employees of New York City would gain by Inclusion under Social Security and Unemployment Insurance. Temporary employees — and m a n y City positions have been filled on a temporary - war substitute basis—do not join t h e pension system, and have no protection against the time between the end of their City Job and their next job. Old-time employees in some of t h e old departmental retii'ement systems, f o r instance t h e 4,400 who are still members of t h e Street Cleaners' Pension Fund, lose all pension benefits if they leave their City job before a t taining t h e 25 years of service necessary f o r retirement.

MBMBER AUDIT BCKBAO OF OOtCVI.ATIONS IW PI/AWE STREET NEW lORK CIT* ^ ^ ^ S TATE Senator Seymour Halpern, of Queens, head of the Senate Civil Service Committee, has laid the basis for an equitable meeting of views on two issues now rending the relations of State employees and the State admintration. These issues are : 1) salary allocations; 2) Feld-Hamilton law. On the first of these problems, Senator Halpern suggests that higher allocations be granted, and as quickly as possible. The Senator is in a position to know the facts. He has been with the mental hygiene situation for a long time; studied it from the inside, actually entering an institution incognito and living with the employees. His views should be given the greatest consideration when he writes in support of improved pay status: "I have talked to numbers of those employees; seen how they live, how they have fallen into debt, how many of them are tempted to leave State service. And we. . . .know of the manpower drainage caused by the war emergency . . The Senator's cool, carefully-reasoned letter to the John Bui-ton, the State's Budget Director, then weighs the merits of proposed changes in the Feld-Hamilton law. The conclusion which Halperji reaches, after carefully examining the alterations in the act proposed by Burton, is that it would be better to wait than to plunge into these highly controversial waters. The Feld-Hamilton act is a highly complex piece of legislation, and cannot lightly be undone. Says Halpern: "I feel that the main operations of FeldHamilton have been smooth. The law came about after the most thorough and lengthy consideration of all factors. And even if, in some of its aspects, it could be made a little less rigid, I feel there is much to be gained by leaving the measure untouched. On the other hand, any tampering with the act would cause confusion and possible dissatisfaction. I should like to delay action on any proposed changes until 1946, which time it would undoubtedly take to digest thoroughly the complexities of the situation." That, we think, is the cool-headed approach. Both the Budget Director and the employees may well use that letter as a set of Marquis of Queensbury rules in ironing out their differences. letters Sirs: I a m a n eligible on t h e NYC list for Correction O f f i c e r W o m e n , a n d I t h i n k it's a s h a m e t h a t this list h a s n ' t seen more action.

In April, 194'3, the foioner New York official donned the uniform of the Army, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was assigned to the Civil Affairs Section of the Army. Later, as an officer with AMG (AUied Military Government), Poletti participated in the invason of Sicily, became the Allied governing officer of that island ind adjacent territories. His next assignment was as R e g i o n a l Commissioner for Naples. Now he holds the same position in Home. Next stop: Milan. Campaign for Increajse* in Population The campaign for the increase in population had a particular repercussion in the field of public service. a) A subsidy, rather conspicuous in comparison to the basic salary or wage, was granted to married employees and employees with childien. b) Awards for marriages and births were granted. c) A special law was decreed by which officials, if bachelors, could not be promoted to a rank superior to a Grade IX and could not be promoted any longer if they already held a superior rank. Fascism has deeply damaged the structure of the State and local administration by creating an overburdened bureaucracy, out of proportion to needs, consisting of persons who have secured tlieir positions by political merits, instead of by personal competency. Naturally enough, by way of reaction, all the old civil servants and part of the new ones which did not benefit from the Fascist laws, remained deeply anti-Fascist and always sabotaged all the initiatives and undertakings of the regimye. Effect of War on the Civil Service Under the pretext that the nation was at war and that any criticism was an act (tf sabotage against the war eff(»t of the country, the Fascist Party t i i ^ t ened its control still more and surrounded the dishonesty of gerarchi and officials with a sort of psychological immunity. Furthermore, the necessity of organizing total war and the direct c(Hitrol by the State over the industries and all econ(»nic activities of the country gave rise to a "war bureaucrticy" which still more increased the number of officials and decreased the e f ficiency of the offices. The state at war and bombardments had made demoralization and corruption of officials even more serious, while public services became more disorganized. Allied Military Government was, therefore, faced with a very complicated situation. It had to Reorganize ttie administrative life of the country with very limited means and scanty personnel a l its disposal. It had to reduce the number of employees, epurate the offices of fascists and dishonest people, imbue officials with a democratic mentality, eliminate the causes of corruption which, in part, were due to the absence of a public sense of moral responsibility but, above all, to the poor salary and wages paid to men and women who could not afford to be honest. All these problems were and (xmtinue to be extremely diffucult to solve.

The militant fascists specifically listed in AMG orders in Sicily, Naples, Rome, had to relinquish their posts immediately. On the other hand, the work of the Epuration Commissions in examining appeals. were expedited so that honest and capable persons could continue to be used without endangering the administrations. Many proved anti-Fascists y e r e placed in office, especially in management posts, giving to representatives of the young democratic forces the opportuity ^ The Editors consider this article by Col. Poletti to be one of the most important contributions to public administration ever made. It illustrates what happens to the public service under the kind of rule which Fascism sets up—and offers an object lesson to every public admin' istrator, every civil employee. The article was written exclusively for the Civil Service LEADEH, and the information presented is made available to Americans for the first time. number of employees meant to increase the number of unemployed; to oust all Fascists meant sometimes to dismiss capable men; to increase wages meant t o make inflation still worse. Eporatioa Epuration has been pressed Machine Does Lettering On Blueprints Public Works departments, and others which make use of blueprints, maps and charts, will bo interested in a machine which does the lettering which heretofore had to be done by hand. Known as the Elliott Fisher Electric Machine for Lettering Engineers' Drawings, it was designed to save manpower by relieving draftsmen and engineeers of the tedious work of handlettering drawings, plaais, charts, schedules. An office clerk can now do this time-consuming part of a job, at typing speed, with mechanical accuracy and efficiency. know directly the responsibilities of government, to build up administrative experience which they greatly needed. AMG. on its side, had too limited personnel and. obviously, too limited knowledge of local problems to be able to decide on the destinies millions of citizens tering of any desired density. I>escripti<»)s may be typed with pinpoint accuracy on the drawing; and in cases of very large drawings, new areas may be quickly moved into* typing position. There are no feed rollers nor other mechanisms to mar or smear the lettering. Tire Shortage A Big Problem To Municipalities Communities throughout the country confronted with the .problem of snow removal will not only be Impeded by inadequate equipment, but find they are unable to get their trucks in operation due to the shortage of heavy-duty tires.

AMG's task is that of getting every liberated region ready for the day when it is entrusted to the Italian Government and is administered ^ Italian officials. The principle of giving responsibility to the anti-Fascists implied the selection of the "right man for the right job." It wsis necessary to be absolutely certain that they were not in ariy way tainted with Fascism. To this end, in addition to epurating the Fascist categories eniunerated in the Regional Orders, AMG compelled all employees in the public offices to fill out a questionnaire which wits afterwards carefully checked. Reduction of Personnel ' AMG h a s dissolved many institutions created by Fascism. These measiures were taken orly after it had been decided that such institutions should not suj;vive in a democratic regime or ^ere completely useless. In other instances AMG transformed ir^stitutions, placing them at the service of the democratic State, while reducing the personnel which was at all times excessive. Lo(A to Future Much progress has been madb in little over one year. Continued energetic, courageous actioi;i is necessary. Twenty-two years ot Fascism brought about tremendous corrosion. It cannot all be eliminated in a few months. The democratic forces in Italjr are on Uie march. They will succeed in erecting a sound clean efficient civil service which is so vitally essential to any democracy. mimicipal services due to the thre situation.

How the RFC Vf Ul Dispose Of Surplus U.S. Properties fiy CHARLES SULLIVAN Leader Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON—Municipalities and educational institutions will be given first choice of all properties disposed of by the Reconstmction Finance Corporation under the law. Lists of materials available and prices will be made and distributed to local, county. State and Federal agencies for first choice. Materials, equipment and real estate not wanted by these groups will be thrown on the market for purchase by private interests. Peacetime Basis Preliminary plans are being amde to put the l\uge financial structure of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on a peacetime basis. The biggest job facing RFC now is the disposal of its surplus property and what to do with t h e vast amounts of resomces it gathered while financing t h e m a j o r p a i t of the Allied industrial war. The surplus property bill just passed by Congress sets the framework for the task but the administrative job is immense. Key to what RFC has to do is a look at the war job it did. Through its many subsidiaries, in cooperation with other government agencies it has been devoted almost entirely to war work in the past four years. In the war program RFC, itself. as distinguished from its war subsidiaries, made loans to manufactum-s, large and small, engaged in war work for plant - expansion, machinery, equipment, working capital and other purposes. The War Corporations Its war corporations are: Defense Plant Corporation, to finance or construct plants and to acquire machinery, equipment, etc. Metals Reserve Company, Rubber Development Corporation, and Defense SuppUes Corporation to acquire various supplies oi metals, rubber and other strategic and critical materials, and to facilitate their distribution; U. S. Commercial Company, to compete with enemy countries for the purchase of materials t h a t might be of use to the enemy, some of which would be useful to -ourselves; Defense Homes Corporation, to build housing facilities in connection with the m a n u f a c ture of war materials; and War Damage Corporation, to insure against the destruction of property by enemy action. Neither the RFC nor Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, who is the top m a n for the organization, determined policies in connection with the war. When requested to do so by the appropriate war agency, with the approval of Congress, RFC f u r nished materials for them. Helpful to Small Business RFC h a s been especially helpful to small business enterprises in the war effort and during the war period. I n the last 18 months it has authorized more t h a n 3300 loans, totaling more t h a n $498,000,000 to business enterprise. I n addition to its war activities, the RFC continued its normal fuinctions, including p a r ticularly making credit available at reasonable rates in almost all fields of enterprise when it c a n - In Succeeding Issues ISew in Sanitation, by William F. Carey, ISYC Commissioner of Sanitation. Post-War Plans for New York Citys Hospitals, by Edward M. Berneeker, M.D,, NYC Commissioner of Hospitah, County, Town and Village Salaries of Town Employees An informal opinion of the State Attorney-General h a s held that a town board may decrease the salary of a town officer in the competitive civil service class during the budget year. In the absence of statute or rule, a civil service commission bfi« no jurisdiction over t h e salary of a town officer or employee. Accordingly, by reason of Section 27 (I) of the Town Law. the town board may, from time to time, fix and decrease the salaries of town officers, officials and employees, even though they are in the competitive class of t h e civil service. Pension Contributions In another informal opinion, the Attorney-General held t h a t contributions payable by a town to the New York State Retirement System for town employees are a general town charge, (Section 78, Civil Service Law.) Moneys raised by a town for highway purposes may be expended only for those purposes. iSections 277, 284 and 285 of t h e Highway Law; see informal opinion of the Attorney-General dated December 13, 1943.) To permit use of highway moneys for general town purposes would also be contrary to the pui'pose of subdivision 5 of Section 4 of the Tax Law providing for the exemption of veterans' property from general taxes by making such property liable for a highway tax. I t would therefore appear t h a t it is .specifically provided by law t h a t moneys in a library or a highway fund may only be applied to those purposes respectively. Unexpended balances in the town highway and library f u n d s may not be used to pay contributions due from a town to the New York State retirement system for its town employees. Libraries Many of the towns and villages have libraries which are administered by library boards. As a general rule these board members are outstanding citizens of the community who receive n o contribution for their public service. Originally many of these libraries were financed from private endowments. However, tod a y many are operated by governmental funds. If more t h a n half of t h e total annual appropriation of the library is received f r o m governmental funds (county, town, village or state moneys). the library may generally be considered a public library and its employees public employees. County commissions may. classify these positions and treat such libraries &s if they were a n agency of the local government. Payrolls of such employees might well be certified, and all appointments and other personnel changes should be made in accordance with the Civil Sei-vice Law and rules. Frojn time to time, this column will be open to small-community officials for the airing of problems, suggestions and ideas, ^uoh officials are invited to send in their contributions, and to use this space for discussion. not be obtained at fair rates and terms from private sources.

Photog Wanted By Heolth Dept. WASHINGTON — The Federal Government is pledged to give returning veterans every chance in the world to get on Uncle Sam's payroll. This pledge was made by CJivil Service Commissioner Arthur S. Flemming in a speech made in Chicago to the International Organization of Lions Club. Mr. Flemming said that disabled veterans must be given what amounts to absolute preference in the filling of Federal positions. He revealed that over a period of 20 months approximately 2,500 veterans of World War I and II with real physical handicaps had ben placed in the Federal Government.

Among the present flaws is the City setup are these: 1. There are no definite job specifications to describe the duties of City position. 2. There are no quotas to set UP definite promotional lines by which an employee may progress through increasingly responsible positions. At present, there is little relationship between the grade of an employee and his duties. A grade 1 clerk may be performing difficult and important work. A grade 4 next to him may be handling a simple job. Promotion to a higher rank and salary does not always mean change in duties. As a solution, the APL head proposes that a modified Reuther Plan (which is being used to guide factory reconversion) be applied to the City personnel Tuesday, • 4Sd VOOKi vovRBesr wmoor TR£AT CRISPS NASSAU COUNTY O F F I R 8 AT PUBLIC AUCTION Choict U t s — H o u s e s — S t o r M — F a r m s ^ E s t a t t s f o r t h e amornit of t a x e s due.
