The recommendations were made by the organization's committee on retirement law, headed by Charles Dubuar, of the State Insurance Department. Other members of the ittee were Leo M. Britt, Charles H. Foster, Theodore Becker^ Gurry, Jesse B. McFarland, and Milton Schwartz. The final imendations deal with insurance of loans to borrowers and iption of retirement benefits from State taxation, ice of Loans of Borrowers has been a modem developit during the last fifteen years o< finance companies, banks, other loaning institutions to for the insurance of loans event of the death of the )wer. Thus the creditor inition is protected and no loss icurred by the estate of the borrower, which is a highly desirable objective. Where a member finds it necessary to borrow, there is • probably a greater economic need by his dependents than in the case of a non-borrowing member. The Committee believes that with proper operating safeguards the cost of the insurance feature could be kept within 1 per cent of the interest Income on loans. It is true that the greater contribution accumulations of the older members combined with the greater risk of death at the older ages and the fact that a member has the right to request a loan at any time present certain problems so that some restrictions would be necessary. The Committee feels that with proper safeguards the proposal is workable and has considered the following restrictions, i.e.: (a) That the maximum insurance on Ipans be limited to $1,000. (b) That there be a waiting period of 60 or 80 days before the Insurance shall become effective, during, which time the member shall be on the payroll at full salary. (c) That the law provide that insurance on loans shall be paid from a sum made up by taking 50 per cent of the annual loading charges or some lower amount and that such fund shall, so far as possible, be self-supporting with the right to the Comptroller to change the maximum limit of insurance at any age, change the waiting period, or adopt other rules within his discretion. T l ^ fact that there is a fairly constant demand for loans by members who are in good health should warrant consideration of the proposal. A substantial vol* YC FIRE PROMOTIONS'INSIDE ume of insurance (say $9,000,00(»" could be secured on present existing loans.

Moreover, they are a ^ i n g to have their status cleared up. Thesr're in the ungraded service and aren't entitled to increments. "If we d o n t get increments," they complain, "then we come under the S t a t e Labor Law and should get prevailing rates." First the Comptroller's Office agreed with them that they were entitled to the prevsiiling rate for their work—^which Is far higher t h a n the $1,020 to $1,500 a year which they earn now. Later, the Comptroller's Office reversed its opinion and decided they ought to get increments. Meanwhile, they are not getting either, so they are bringing legal action.

This newspaper, in one of its columns, once said that^Thomas E. Dewey is a man who learns. That quality is a tremendous asset to a public personality. The Governor has shown that he is sensitive to the needs of the State employees. Hie has shown that he will not be held back, in one year, by misjudgments of a former year. It is this aspect of the Governor's message which, we think, is as important as the things he "gave" to State employe^is. The Governor has sat down with representatives of the State's employees, and discussed candidly and at length, their grievances, their needs, their desires. The President and other executives of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, who had negotiated the advances with the Governor, report that Mr. Dewey indicates a keen understanding of the employee viewpoint, a willingness to hear out their problems, and a desire to work out these problems cooper'atively and fairly. We feel that the Governor deserves the good-will of all employees for what he has proposed to the Legislature in his message. It makes a proper start for the right kind of relationship between employees and administration, and that makes for good public administration. And we hope that the attitude displayed in the Governor's message remains as the deliberation of other employee problems comes to the fore. General Bradley's Column By Brigmlier General John J, Bradley (Ret.) Wages Plus Monthly Allowances for Vefs Who Become Apprentices Wages earned by veterans who qualify faiapprentice training will be supplemented by the monthly allowances provided by the G.I. Bill of Rights. A report of the Apprentice-Training I Service of t h e W a r Manpower Commission stresses the advantages of such payments to veterans wishing to build up their earnings during the initial years of industrial training.

Governor Thomas E. Dewey made far-reaching recommendations with regard to State employee matters. He recommended: (1) higher pay; (2) a personnel council; (3) a permanent salary standardization board. That portion of the message relating to State employees follows: I n every D e p a r t m e n t of our S t a t e G o v e r n m e n t we a r e s h a r p l y h a n d i c a p p e d by m a n p o w e r shortages. O u r Institutions a r e p a r t i c u larly h a r d hit. T h e S t a t e is proud of its m a n y employees who are now serving in t h e a r m e d forces of our country. We are p r o u d also of those r e m a i n i n g employees who, In t h e face of m a n y a t t r a c t i v e opportunities of employment elsewhere, are c o n t i n u i n g to c a r r y on t h e work of t h e S t a t e . M a n y of t h e m a r e shouldering a heavy load n o t merely by reason of e x t r a work occasioned by t h e m a n p o w e r shortages, but also by reason of a d v a n c i n g living costs. As a m e a s u r e to meet these conditions, e x t r a war emergency compensation was initiated in 1943 covering employees receiving less t h a n $4,000. T h a t a r r a n g e m e n t h a s since been continued. I t is no longer a d e q u a t e t o meet t h e conditions t h a t exist. I, t h e r e f o r e , propose t h a t t h e w a r emergency compensation be increased a n d t h a t such additional compensation be provided t o all employees of t h e State. Higher Cost-of-Living B o n u s I n substitution for t h e c u r r e n t plan, I r e c o m m e n d additional compensation of 20 per cent f o r those receiving less t h a n $1,500 a year; a n d f o r those receiving $1,500 or more, b u t less t h a n $2,000, t h e increase should be 17V2 per cent. T h i s is in accord witlj t h e n a t i o n a l policy a n d will help bring t h e p a y of S t a t e employees a t t h a t level Into line with t h e n a t i o n a l policy a n d will help bring t h e p a y of S t a t e employees a t t h a t level i n t o line with t h a t of F e d e r a l employees a t a c o m p a r a b l e level. I t accomplishes a m u c h - n e e d e d equalization of wage levels. F o r those receiving $2,000 or more, b u t less t h a n $3,000, t h e increa.se should be 15 per c e n t : for those receiving $3,000 or more, but less t h a n $4,000, 12'2 per c e n t ; for those receiving $4,000 or more, 10 per cent,' with a limit of $l,000"on t h e a m o u n t of increase. I n some cases, these percentage increases will h a v e to be modified, so as to m a i n t a i n a p p r o p r i a t e differentials between t h e various salary levels. Personnel Council Beyond this broad question of increased compensation to meet c h a n g i n g conditions, relations between t h e S t a t e g o v e r n m e n t a n d t h e S t a t e employees always requii-e our c a r e f u l consideration. T h e Civil Service Commission h a s been m a k i n g s t e a d y progress in personnel work but m a n y personnel problems are separately h a n dled by t h e D e p a r t m e n t s with no o p p o r t u n i t y to m a i n t a i n a consist e n t policy througliout t h e S t a t e service. M i s u n d e r s t a n d i n g s inevitably result. A personnel council t h a t would u n i f y all personnel work would be a first step toward t h e development of a unified p r o g r a m . T h e f u n c t i o n of such a council at t h e outset would be to b r i n g t o g8 4e1t8h0e r regularly all personnel a n d d e p a r t m e n t a l fiscal officers t o p r o m o t e u n i f o r m i t y a n d to learn a t first h a n d of existing problems. Relationships t h a t c a n n o t be settled within a D e p a r t m e n t should be referred to t h e council for consideration. I do not consider it necessary a t t h e present time, to establish such a p r o g r a m by legislation. A s t a r t c a n be m a d e by a d m i n i s t r a t i v e action which I shall shortly take. P e r m a n e n t Salary S t a n d a r d i z a t i o n Board A n o t h e r m a t t e r relating to employees t h a t needs a t t e n t i o n is t h e T e m p o r a r y S a l a r y S t a n d a r d i z a t i o n Board which will come to a n end u n d e r present law on December 1, 1945, at which time all of its f u n c t i o n s are to be t r a n s f e r r e d to 'the Director of t h e Budget.

Clifford C. 8horo, president of the State Association, came down from Albany for the event, and made a n inspiring speech, "the event was i n the form of a dinner, and doubly impressive because this is t h e t e n t h anniversary of t h e chapter. (Next week: Pictures of the meeting, and names of all those present.) Woodhourne Prison The following were elected o f cers of the Woodbourne Prison Chapter at the November, 1944 meeting: President, Earl Fox; Vice-President, William Bowman; Recording Secretary, Richard Corcoran; Corresponding Secretary, Theodore Locke; Sergeant-at-Arms, William Switzer; Delegate, Raymond Vandenoalker; Treasurer, Vincent Biggins. Kings Park M. J. CORLEY, Correspdnding Secretary of the Kings Park Chapter, State Association, sends in his chapter's views on t h e State Retirement system. Here they are: "The great State of New York —the financial giant of the union and a so-called national leader in social and economic reform—has a retirement system which ill becomes this Empire State. It is an unjust and obsolete set-up; not in keeping with the broad principles of social security and therefore opposed to the natural right of a Just and fair existence. " M a r a t h o n Service" "Under this outmoded system, you are obliged to spend 35 and sometimes 40 years of your life in t h e service of the State before you are eligible for a full pension; for only through excess contributions—a rate far beyond the ability of the lower paid—can you retire, except on disability, before the advanced age of 60 years. And this, in the face of a widespread conviction that more than 25 years of service in some State Departments, particularly the highly dangerous and difficult Mental Hygiene branch, Is beyond the mental endurance of the average man or woman. And despite this marathon service, the great majority of State workers are retired on an annuity of from •600 to $800; whereas, a Federal Government employee, with 25 years of service and at the same salary level, draws a yearly allowance of approximately $1,300. lars. One way or another, you are the victim. "A Tstaff attendant with 18 years of service and $3,200 i n the retirement fund is obliged t o retire on disability. He may draw the maximum but meager annuity of $411, with all payments to cease at death. But since he naturally wishes his wife to draw whatever is left i n the fund, should he u n happily pass out of the picture a few years later, h e is forced to accept the paltry handout of $333, or less t h a n $28 a month. Better on Home Relief "This unhappy victim of d r cimistances and legislation—^his long years of service and heavy contributions t o retirement fund notwithstanding—could have done better for his wife and little f a m ily on home relief. "We of the State Hospital Service see the present retirement system not as a measure of Social Security but as an act that ma^es aged paupers out of the State's public servants. We believe that all State workers, regardless of age, should be retired on fiUl pension after 25 years of service, and that the lowest paid should receive a yearly allowance of not less than $1,200, or three-fourths of the last salary. Furthermore, we claim that, under n o circumstances or conditions, has the State the right to confiscate the hard-earned accumulations of its employees. "From the next session of the legislators we look forward to a revision of the present system; and we sincerely hope that the new version will spring from a more humane and liberal conception of justice than did its predecessors."

Mall Postal Card Today Ur fall' Mormatlon = State Promotion Examinations A three-two split by Justices of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court means that the f i g h t of Helen Harvey against her dismissal by Martin P. Catherwood, Commissioner of Commerce, m a y now go to the Court of Appeals, the State's highest tribunal. I n the Supreme Court, Miss Harvey had won her fighli for reinstatement to her post as Principal Stenographer in the Department of Commerce, but the State appealed. T h e Supreme Court had held that her removal rested upon "either highly^ debatable matters of office procedure, or upon multiple trivia, that the matters complained of were unsubstantial, and tliat the order of removal was arbitrary." Review Limited In discussing the appeal, the Appellate Division justices said: "We agree that some of the m a t ters complained of appear t o be trivial, but we cannot say that of all of them. . . . T h e scope of our review is decidedly limited. There has been no hearing by statutory direction at which evidence was taken, and hence we m a y not generally pass upon the weight of evidence. . . . "In this case the weight to be given the petitioner's (Miss Harvey's) explanation was for the removal officer. If the explanation was one that n o reasonable mind would reject then the order of removal was arbitrary. On the other hand if the explanation was such that reasonable minds might differ as to whether it should be accepted or rejected then the choice was for the removal officer a n d we may not substitute our judgment." John T. DeOraff is the attorney for Miss Harvey. i C. A. CARLISLE, JR. | m lUSH & POWELL.

PUBLIC Sfafe Assn Heads Meet ADMINISTRATION Viitti Governor Dewey For lack of space, the Public Admiinstration section has been limited this week, in the next issue it will occupy an entire page as usual, Synthetic Rubber Insulation Is Now Available liquid. Decomposition may release sufficient flammable vapor to cause explosion even when the liaulds are stored in closed containers. I n some cases, when the temperature is sufficiently high, explosions will occur even In the absence of a spark or flame . Dangers are greater in aboveground storage, and large quantities of inflammable liquids should be kept in underground tanks. These shoUld be well designed, of non-corrosive materials and sufficiently strong to resist any pressure, or else carry relief valves. Essential to safety in handling is prevention of contact with air by discharge through pipe or hose. Lack of suitable venting equipment is another cause of explosions, and tanks should be grounded for protection against static electricity. Synthetic rubber insulation on many types of wires and cables In use by municipalities is now available, reports the Simplex wire and cable company. Early in the war, the scarcity of natural rubber made it necessary to conserve supplies. A few months ago, because of the r a p Idly dwingling supply of natural rubber, it could no longer be used for insulation, and a change-over to synthetic rubber became imperative. Natural rubber could no longer be used in conductor insulation or cable sheath. A synthetic rubber compound has been provided to replace each of the special-purpose, naturalrubber insulations and sheaths. Laboratory tests and service records indicate that the new insulation may be depended upon for trouble-free, efficient service. Simplex wires and cables, with the synthetic protection, are now Many gadgets developed by the available on priority, for essential use.

Army Men Invent Gadgets Useful For City Trucks Safety With Inflammable Liquids ALBANY—On December 30, President Clifford C. Shoro and VicePresident McFarland met with Governor Dewey for a discussion of the Association's program for 1945. The conference with the Governor was the culmination of a series of conferences with other administration officials. Governor Dewey expressed interest in Association aims and was fully, advised of the problems pressing upon State workers as well' as other workers in these strenuous days of war. He stated t h a t as a result of careful study of the State's and the employees' needs, he Intended to recommend t h a t the war emergency pay adjustment be substantially increased and extended to higher salary levels, that the Salary Board should be continued and strengthened to the end that employee-confidence in the Board would be enhanced, and further., t h a t he Intends to establish a personnel council within the administration through which efhployee problems will clear more quickly and with better satisfaction to the employees and to the State, and t h a t these points would be stressed In his message to the Legislature on Wednesday noon, January 3. The shortage of trained personnel administrators Is one of the handicaps to more rapid establishment of a complete personnel administration system extending to departments and institutions and back again to the Civil Service Commission and administrative offices, with prompt hearings on the grounds of the employees' viewpoint and expeditious study and correction of conditions in a just and uniform manner. [Gov. Dewey made all of these recommendations last week. —Ed.] Cooperation Needed The need for close cooperation between employees and the executive, administrative and legislative heads to the end t h a t State service may be maintained at peak efficiency was never greater. The Association has renewed its all-time pledge to uphold the high standard of State service, and to maintain its loyalty to employees by continuing to seek the best possible standards of efficiency, adequacy of salaries, sound promotion opportunities, reasonable the use of this chemic.il to remove objectionable tastes and odors from water.

This exemption was. never challenged until 1942 when Surrogate McGarry and Surrogate Vander Meulen followed the contention of the S t a t e Tax Commission t h a t a tax could t>e a^essed on retirement benefits. I n Matter of Riegelman, reported In the New York Law J o u r nal of May 14, 1942, it was held t h a t the tax assessed under t h e present tax law was an "estate t a x " and was not exempt under the provision of section 70 of t h e Civil Service Law, which provides for the exemption of a " t r a n s f e r or inheritance tax." I n Matter of Moore, 178 Misc. 1010, it was held t h a t section 70 of the Civil Service Law was repealed by implication by section 249-kk of the Tax Law. We believe t h a t both of these decisions are unsound and t h a t it has been the intent of the Legislature to exempt retirement benefits from all types of State t a x a tion. We understand t h a t the issue is now pending before h e Court of Appeals which has not yet handed down its final decision. We believe that, as a matter of policy, it is Incongruous for the State to award a pension with one h a n d and to take a portion of it away with the other, and we believe t h a t the law should be amended so t h a t It will provide in unmistakable terms t h a t r e tirement benefits are exempt f r o m all forms of State taxation. Employees Urge That Pensions Be Tax-Exempt (Continued from page 1) to protect their wives and children. We recommend an amendment which'would give the members of this system options similar to those contained in the New York State Employees' Retirement System so t h a t they can select the retirement allowance which will meet the needs of their families. Practically all retirement systems contain provisions whereby optional forms of retirement may be selected. The Actuary has stated t h a t such an amendment would Involve no substantial additional costs because the various options are computed on an actuarial basis. Rules Committee Bill, Assembly Int. 2047, Pr. 2406, sets f o r t h the options which we believe should be Incorporated in the Hospital Retirement System. This bill was passed at the 1944 session of the Legislature, but was vetoed by Governor Dewey In a message in which he stated, t h a t the proposal should receive further consideration. We believe t h a t the proposal set forth In this bill Is sound and that, with minor amendments, it would accomplish the objective of this recommendation.

Property owners were notified of the cost of n ^ d e d repairs, and given an opportunity to have t h e work done by City crews at cost or by private contractors, in accordance with municipal specifications. Almost 50 percent of the property owners acted on receipt of the first letter; remainder are sent a second notice advising them t h a t the City will take over the job if repairs are not done made within 30 days and assess the cost against t h e property. Those who disregard the second notice are contacted individually in an effort to settle the matter on a friendly basis. * * * STREET TREES will improve the appearance of Cleveland. T h a t city set aside $50,000 for a street tree program for the last four months of this year. City forester and staff of assistants has been hired.
