WASHINGTON — A s The
LEADER predicted, the United States Civil Service Commission has issued a ruling
which will make it possible
to keep war service appointees in their present jobs
with no change of status for
years after the fighting stops.
tion a n d n o t t o exceed six m o n t h s
t h e r e a f t e r . " This could have been
interpreted to m e a n as soon as
t h e fighting stopped.
Disturbed by t h e c u r r e n t maSs
exodus of Federal employees who
leave because they t h i n k their
jobs insecure, however, t h e Commission m a d e t h e present a n nouncement to assure t h e m they
h a d m a n y years' f u t u r e in t h e
Federal service if they elected to
stay. I t is hoped this will check
the resignations caused by t h e
feeling of insecurity.
T h e Commission repeated its
plea to Government employees to
stay on t h e job until t h e war is
completely won.
I t stated definitely t h a t "it does
not plan to r e t u r n to t h e practice
of holding open-competitive examinations for appointments conferring classified civil service s t a t u s
until some time a f t e r hostilities
end in all t h e m a j o r theaters."
T h e .Commission h a s defined
•'duration of t h e war" to m e a n t h e
legal end of a state of war—
Presidential proclamation or Act
Of Congress.
Implication of this ruling is revealed in light of t h e f a c t t h a t t h e
legal end of World W a r I was two
ftud one-half years a f t e r t h e
Armistice. If this war isn't legally
t e r m i n a t e d until two and one-half
years a f t e r t h e fighting stops, war
service appointees might hold
t h e i r jobs until some time in 1948.
Transition Period
T h i s is assuming t h a t J a p a n is
defeated in a year, which is t h e
T h e announcement also brought
luost liberal estimate.
to light t h e Commission's plan for
gradually getting back on a peaceFuture Is Safe
time basis. Under t h e CommisT h e importance of t h e ruling sion's post-war plans, there will be
Centers around t h e wording o^ a transition period during which
t h e length of war service appoint- war-service regulations will still
m e n t s which says "for t h e d u r a - be in effect a n d some war-service
appointees will r e t a i n their positions while, a t t h e same time,
some positions will be thrown open
t o competitive examination. I n t h i s
way, a n agency l a r ^ l y s t a f f e d by
war-service appointees would be
able to carry on its work without
the disruption which would result
f r o m ending all war-service a p pointments a t t h e same time.
I t is possible, therefore, t h a t
some war-service appointees will
be retained in their positions t e m porarily, with t h e proper approval
of t h e Commission more t h a n six
m o n t h s a f t e r t h e legal t e r m i n a tion of t h e war.
They May Compete
War-service
appointees
who
meet t h e requirements m a y compete in examinations for appointm e n t s conferring civil service
status. Only t h r o u g h successfully
competing in such examinations,
being reached for certification,
and being selected f o r appointment, m a y persons without civil
service s t a t u s or eligibility t h e r e for have a n opportunity of r e ceiving p e r m a n e n t
employment
with classified civil service status,
t h e Commission said.

State Association to Inquire Whef/ier
Eligible Lists Are Being Frozen'
ALBANY: An inquiry to determine to what extent
and why eligible lists for various State jobs are being
"frozen" or suspended for the duration of the war may
be launched by the Association of State Civil Service
Employees.
T h e most recent
complaint
along this line h a s come f r o m a
group of engineer
employees,
members of t h e Association, who
last week wrote to Charles L.
Campbell, administrative director
Of Civil Service Department, protesting t h e growing practice of
m a k i n g dui-ation a p p o i n t m e n t s

d u i a t i o n or 8-A appointments.
"We wish," wrote the engineers
to Mr, Campbell," to protest t h e
application of this type of a p pointment in this particular case
a n d we request the Civil Service
Commission to reconsider its order in freezing these promotion
lists.

" T h e s t a t u s in regard to filling
this vacancy Is the same now as
it would be in peace time. None
of t h e m e n on t h e promotion
lists is in military service, nor is
t h e vacancy due to military service. Therefore, we c a n see no
justification f o r applying Section
8-A to these promotion lists which
have been i n existence prior t o
t h e war."
T h e Asociation's officers indicated t h a t inquiry will be m a d e
to determine also whether t h e
prison guard lists a n d other lists
have been suspended, a n d t h e
reason therefor.

How It Feels to Flunk
A Promotion Exam
How does an employee feel who
fails a promotion
examination?
The LEADER carries below a letter from an employee in the New
York City Comptroller's
Office
who, after diligent study,
failed
the Clerk Grade i
examination.
This letter is run, not
because
The LEADER
agrees with
the
writer, but because the point of
view expressed by him is so widespread
among
employees.
The
editors would be pleased to hear
from other employees, pro or con.
"As t h e years go on, m y services a n d experiences become

New York. I am always on t h e
alert for changes a n d improvem e n t s in t h e system of office p r o cedure as it applies directly to
my job. At the time my d e p a r t m e n t gave in-service training
courses, I attended all t h e lectures diligently. During my 15
years of service to t h e City of
New York I have never been late.

t h e merit system t h a t also helps.
For my good work I a m given a

now well-damned. A small portion of them went out
J L on strike, and public officials went giddy with breastbeating statements. To listen to Mayor LaGuardia, you would
think that a dastardly plot had been committed for the sole
purpose of harassing, frightening and endangering the City's
school children.
But, as so often happens in cases like this, the whole
picture isn't the hideous one that's stuck in your face, in the
hope that you will become sufficiently horrified to overlook
the facts.
UNDER THE present Tammany
constitutional
setup, leaders are
not the only ones who can vote. And under this arrangement,
it is
extremely
difficult to overthrow the chieftain.
Therefore, in order tb

boys consider a stab at the

New Developments in Fire Fighting
By GEORGE W. BOOTH,
Chief Engineer, National Board of Fire Underwriters
THE
PRACTICES
Of fire
fighting are as old as civilization. W h e n m a n started using
fire he soon found t h a t his
Campfire would be extinguished
' by a downpour of rain, and
f r o m this h e learned to use
water to put out fires.
T h e history of fire fighting
h a s been largely taken u p with
methods of applying water in
such a way t h a t it would reach
t h e burning embers.
As fire is a product of a b u m able material, t h e oxygen of t h e
a i r a n d some form of h e a t , t h e n
i conversely the reduction of any
of these three—material, air or
heat—will lessen t h e extent of
t h e fire.
•
Tiie development of t h e automobile fire engine, or pumper,
^ t h e improvement in hose, t h e
better design of nozzles a n d t h e
• application of automatic sprink^ lers, are improvements which
h a v e come along through t h e
years a n d have served to i n crease effectiveness in t h e cool' ing value of water.
Spray or Fog
•
Of more recent use, but still
n o t new, h a s been the application of water in t h e f o r m of
spray or fog. T h e development
of this h a s been brought about
, largely in connection with fires
^ aivolving flammable liquids, especially "spills" of such liquids.
Mucli work h a s been done in
' t h e past few years on the design of nozzles to produce spray
or fog, and many claims have
* been made as to t h e superiority
of
some
particular
feature,
either in the deaijgn of t h e
f nozzle, size of the droplet or
pressure used.
Tile value of these spray a n d
(og nozzles on fires other t h a n
those involving flammable liquid
''spills" h a s also received conliderable study. Th» iuoreaM in
t h e cooling effect produced by
fine spray is being studied extensively by the U. S. Coast

connection with fires on ships,

serious of which is the lack of
knowledge as to when a n d how
to be used.
Application of Gas
Following along with the converse of producing fire, it is
self-evident t h a t fires c a n be
extinguished by reducing t h e
percentage of oxygen in the air.
This h a s resulted in t h e application of gases which would mix
with air and thus dilute its
oxygen content.

ments a n d cellars, can be m u c h
improved through t h e use of
these appliances which produce
fine sprays.
No New Principle
I t must be recognized still t h a t
where fires are of considerable
magnitude t h e water must p e n etrate through t h e f l a m e s a n d
impinge upon the burning m a terial. I t may be said t h e r e foi'e t h a t there h a s been n o new
principle developed in t h e use
of water. Some greater knowledge h a s been obtained as to
how a n d when water can be
used as a spray and when as a
solid stream. I t s use as a spray
for small fires is of long s t a n d ing, as shown by the value of
automatic sprinklers. T h a t spray
a n d fog can be used a d v a n tageously by fire departments
on certain types of fires cannot
be denied, when actual experience is considered; however, it
from carbon tetrachloride have
been the principal gases used for
this purpose. T h e more recent
development in these, especially
of carbon dioxide, h a s been the

Here, too, thez'e have been
changes brought about by the
demands of the armed forces of
the country.
Automatic Devices
Probably the outstanding development in the fire extinguislmient has been the great i n crease in the use of automatic
devices to protect the hospitals,
warehouses a n d plants of t h e
armed forces in America a n d
their extensive use in industry.
The recognition of automatic
sprinklers a n d automatic fire detecting systems has been i n creased during these war years,
a n d it is believed the value of
such equipment will be appreciated in a f t e r years by those
responsible for the safety of t h e
high value stocks so necessary
for the welfare of t h e country.
Owners of plants a n d stores will
realize the need of such equipment, a n d those who are responsible for the enforcement of
fire prevention ordinances will
have ample precedent a s to their
value.
E/ecfronics Finds Leaks
In Water Supply Systems
Electronics h a s heen p u t t o
work by m a n y communities t o
effect savings in locating leaks
in their water supply systems.
T h e traditional willow wand
divining row which, according t o
folklore, would locate
water
underground, h a s been replaced
by a highly sensitive a p p a r a t u s
which can detect a leak under
a n eight-inch concrete pavement.
I n essence, t h e device is a
sensitive crystal-type amplifier
which picks up sound waves
f r o m t h e leaks, translates t h e m
into electrical current and m a g nifies them in the headphones
so t h a t a total gain of more t h a n
100 times the original sound is
achieved. Besides the earphones,
the device h a s a visual dial Indicator of extreme sensitivity
which I'ecords sound variations
too delicate to be distinguished
in the earphones. Increase or
decrease of the sound intensity
tells the searchers whether they
are approaching or moving away
f r o m the leak.
In Philadelphia
T h e Philadelphia
Suburban
Water Company uses two such
devices to m a i n t a i n a constant
leak-hunt along its 11,000 miles
of mains and 80,000 service leadin pipes for t h e small leaks t h a t
might develop into big breaks
and service interruptions.
With most present water i n -
stallations under paved roadway,

will show surface indications.

crevices to some relatively dist a n t outlet in a stream or gutter.
Water Erosion
Constant water erosion, however, tends to undermine large
sections of ground or roadway
a n d by the time t h e leak is discovered there's a big replacem e n t a n d repair job—unless t h e
leak is discovered in time.
T h e leak-finder used by Philadelphia is t h e M-Scope W a t e r
Leak Detector, developed by t h e
Fisher Research
Laboratories,
Palo Alto, Cal. T h e accuracy of
t h e device is such t h a t It will
locate a leak within a radius of
two or three feet. Usually, say
the manufacturers, it will hit t h e
leak "right on the nose," with
resultaxit economies, particularly
when t h e leak occurs under
thick pavings. Leaks t h e size of
a needle point will register on
the visual dial.
Other apparatus manufactured
by this company includes pipe
and cable locators, electrical r e sistivity a p p a r a t u s a n d radio telephones. Complete i n f o r m a t i o n

I ' V E BEEN A S K E D : "How can
a c o m m u n i t y set u p its own
research organization?"
This
question c a m e In i-esponse t o m y
article which a p p e a r e d in T h e
L E A D E R for November 14. I
described t h e m a n y sources of
i n f o r m a t i o n available to a c o m munity—"for free."
Let m e say a t t h e outset t h a t
t h e problem is n o t a difficult
one to solve. T h e c o m m u n i t y
n e e d only d r a w u p o n t h e f a c i l ities w h i c h it already possesses.
T h e r e is n o doubt t h a t a n e x ecutive of a municipality, s u p plied w i t h a m p l e f u n d s , could
easily equip his agency with a
staff
of
experts,
thoroughly
versed in t h e problems of m u nicipal a d m i n i s t r a t i o n .
Universities, colleges a n d p r i vate industry abundantly provide such recruits who a r e m o r e
t h a n eager to render service to
a
growing
municipality
and
m a k e m u n i c i p a l research a lifelong career. S u c h b u r e a u s a r e

employees a n d feel c o n f i d e n t
t h a t these r e p o r t s will be distributed to t h e officers of o t h e r
b r a n c h e s of his a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
w h o m a y h a v e f u r t h e r use of
them.
I n this wi-iter's opinion, if n o
o p p o r t u n i t y p r e s e n t s itself to
create a n autonomous research
unit, i t is essential t h a t a n executive h a v e his budget director
as.sume s u c h f u n c t i o n . I n s m a l l
communities, t h e f i n a n c e director
or t h e - executive himself o f t e n
undertakes this
responsibility.
I n a n y case, it is best t h a t t h e
budget director get some t r a i n ing in m u n i c i p a l r e s e a r c h a n d
h a v e his office conduct a r u n n i n g inquiry i n t o t h e activities,
organization a n d procedures of

studies u n d e r t a k e n by t h e m .
Public W o r k s
W h e r e T h e r e Are No F u n d s
I n m y previous article, I e m phasized t h e need for assisting
those executives w h o u n f o r t u n ately h a v e little or n o f u n d s
available f o r such a n agency.
Since a c t u a l research, as cont r a s t e d with m e r e f a c t - f i n d i n g ,
is seldom carried on by a
small
municipality, t h e
true
f u n c t i o n of a m u n i c i p a l r e s e a r c h
a g e n c y should be to t r y to solve
only t h e m o s t u r g e n t problems.
Long r a n g e r e s e a r c h p r o j e c t s
should be avoided.
B u t only t h r o u g h a r e s e a r c h
u n i t c a n a m u n i c i p a l executive
c o o r d i n a t e all t h e investigative
work done by his own m u n i c i p a l
R e s e a r c h should also be u n d e r t a k e n in t h e field of public
works by t h e engineering division of t h e D e p a r t m e n t of P u b lic W o r k s a n d by t e c h n i c i a n s
employed in o t h e r services.
Cost accounting, w h i c h t o d a y
is a basic tool in i n d u s t r i a l m a n a g e m e n t , should be installed by
municipalities, especially in those
d e p a r t m e n t s where t h e t h e o r y
of u n i t cost h a s n o t been a p plied as a m e a n s of m e a s u r i n g
p e r f o r m a n c e a n d efficiency.
E d u c a t i o n a l resources of t h e
c o m m u n i t y a s stressed i n t h e
previous article should be t a p p e d
f o r h e l p on t e c h n i c a l subjects.
T h e D e p a r t m e n t of Sociology a t
t h e College of P u g e t S o u n d welcomed t h e o p p o r t u n i t y t o m a k e
a population study of t h e City
of T a c o m a , W a s h i n g t o n . T h e y
did a n excellent job.
The Citizens Themselves
M a n y citizens in a c o m m u n i t y ,
If properly a p p r o a c h e d a n d a p pealed to, would be h a p p y to
belong to a Citizens P l a n n i n g
Council, organized as a n association with unrestricted m e m bership, fully r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of
all i n t e r e s t s in a municipality.
T h i s council would f u n c t i o n a s
a s p e a r h e a d for a c t i o n in t h e
solution of u r g e n t problems. A
smaller group could be composed
of a semi-official body of r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s f r o m t h e local C h a m ber of C o m m e r c e a n d o t h e r
civic-minded organizations in t h e
c o m m u n i t y , interested in c o m m u n i t y p l a n n i n g or service. T h i s
council would serve as a c l e a r ing house f o r ideas or c o m m u n i t y problems. A n a l t e r n a t i v e to
these two organizational f o r m s
would be a n official p l a n n i n g
body, set up as p a r t of t h e m u nicipal g o v e r n m e n t .
Always t h e L i b r a r i a n
If all these suggestions are
f o u n d not feasible, t h e executive
c a n still depend u p o n t h e s e r vices of t h e local m u n i c i p a l
l i b r a r i a n . These a l r e a d y play a
p r o m i n e n t role in New York City
a n d Milwaukee.
A
small
reference
library
available to city officials, f a c t f i n d i n g techniques a n d r e p o r t i n g
services c a n be highly valuable
to h a r d - p r e s s e d City o f f i c i a l
seeking guidance f r o m t h e experiences of o t h e r Cities.
A g r o u p of c o m m u n i t y e m ployees, working u n d e r t h e town's
executive, could f o n n themselves
i n t o a research committee. Such
a group, properly utilized, could
accomplish wonders.
A City executive, d e t e r m i n e d
to utilize t h e sources a n d m e t h ods m e n t i o n e d by t h e writer,
would u n q u e s t i o n a b l y a d v a n c e

on Charges
Required
A L T H O U G H a competitive
class employee is entitled to a n
o p p o r t u n i t y to answer written
c h a r g e s of incompetency or misconduct before h e can be removed
f r o m his position, h e is n o t e n titled to a h e a r i n g on such
c h a r g e s unless h e h a p p e n s to be
a veteran of one of t h e prior w a r s
or a n e x e m p t volunteer f i r e m a n .
T h i s holds t r u e even where t h e
c h a r g e s involve t h e elements of
a crime. All t h a t is required is
t h a t written charges be served
on t h e employee whose relfnoval
is sought a n d t h a t h e be given a
reasonable o p p o r t u n i t y to answer
s u c h charges in writing. T h i s c o n clusion is d r a w n f r o m a recent

which reversed a lower court r e quiring t h e r e i n s t a t e m e n t of a
S t a t e employee removed w i t h o u t a

falsified h i s expense accounts.
Lower Court's Opinion
T h e lower court h a d decided
t h a t t h e employee should h a v e
been given a h e a r i n g on these
charges, prior to removal, explaining its d e t e r m i n a t i o n ,

"While it is t r u e h e was n o t

person to a t least p e r m i t a n a c cused to c o n f r o n t in open h e a r i n g
t h e witnesses a g a i n s t h i m .
"When a n administrative agency a c t s in a quasi-judicial c a p a city, t h e employees b r o u g h t to
t r i a l before it on c h a r g e s in t h e
n a t u r e of t h e f t or embezzlement
should be given, so f a r as is possible, a public a n d i m p a r t i a l h e a r ing. A record should be m a d e

k I naturally started to study
rXor Part n of my examination. I
• read the scope very carefully.
"That candidates who qualify
on Part I will be summoned at
, a later date for Part n which
will relate directly to t a e spe, oifle fanctioM of the candidates' own Department."
"Specific functions of the candidates' own department" as I understood it. suggests functions
I which are performed by the de, partment as distinguished from
• Other departments in accordance
^ i t h provisions of law as described
BQ the Administrative Code for
Khe "City of New York and Chap,ter 17 of the New York City
Charter.
CMne P a r i n
I n preparing for Part n of my
Examination, I gathered all t h e
.lectures that our department had
given in the in-service training
! course, a copy of the City Chariter, the Treasurer's annual report,
retc., and began an intensive study
of the available material.
.

tion arrived, I was confident: for
I knew the workings of my department. What could they possibly ask about my department
that could stump me; that with
m> 15 years of experience I would
not be able to answer.
"Foi Part n of the examination
—five questions of equal weight
and one double-weight question
were required to be answered. For
the first five questions I received
an average of 76.2. I n answering
the double-weight question I was
guided by the scope of the examination and therefore wrote on m y
department. I clearly wrote on
the various divisions, positions and
the workings as are fully described
in the Administrative Code and
the New York City Charter. Out
of a possible 30 per cent for the
double-weight question I was given
a ma> k of 5 per cent.
What Did They Want?
"I failed miserably. W h a t possible answer had the civil service
examiners been looking for? Are
the examiners more familiar with
the specific duties of my department and its respective divisions
than I am? Had the examiners
consulted the heads of my department for a possible key answer.
I examined the key answer at
the Civil Service Commission and
to my surprise I learned the Commission had completely ignored
the scope of the examination as
advertised. T h e Commission had
injected a double-weight question
concerning a city-wide function
(!^ealing with office management—
a question that had no place in
Part II of the examination. It
concerned the personnel activities
of all departments. It was a basic
question in office management
and should have been in Part L
"In rating the answer to this
particular question the Commission h a s selected an answer paper
from a candidate of the Department of Sanitation (Application
No. 463) which further exemplifies the question as having n o
bearing on m y department.
Key Men Failed
"Some of the "key men" in my
department have failed this e x amination. Is it because they
don't know their job? W h a t i n centive is there left for them?
How could they possibly have their
heart and soul in their work.
"Definitely a wrong has been
done to those who were failed because of the last question. What
is there l e f t to do? I have protested to the Civil Service Commission. I have written a letter to
the Mayor, appealing to correct
this particular injustice. Will my
appeal and protest go the usual
way, and eventually to be forgotten? Am I to sit back and wait
another five years, another examination and the same routine over
again?
"The future doesn't look so good
for City employees.
Definitely
ther is something wrong about our
merit and career system."
