T h e Civil Service Law provides zation program. Authorities agreed t h i s m e a n t 15 per cent—the same given workers in private industry under t h e "Little Steel" formula. T h e President also asked t h a t overtime be paid for with t r u e time a n d one-half pay. For t h e present 48-hour week Federal e m ployees get 21.6 per cent additional a n d work holidays without additional pay. W i t h t r u e time a n d one-half pay they would get 30 per cent additional. I t was pointed out by t h e President in his message t h a t Federal white-collar employees haven't h a d a basic raise since t h e s t a r t of t h e war, which puts t h e m f a r behind workers in private industry. He pointed out, however, t h a t postal workers are given a $300-a-year a n n u a l bonus in a d dition to s t r a i g h t time for overtime. He said t h a t t h e Government service h a d suffered recently by d e p a r t u r e of personnel for overoptimism a n d other reasons, a n d t h a t "our m a i n concern a t t h e present m o m e n t is to keep essential O o v e m m e n t personnel on t h e Job." BiU Beinc W r i t t e n One of t h e first effects of t h e message was to get t h e Civil Service Commission's omnibus bill on t h e way to Congress. T h i s bill, which is now being written in improvements in t h e Federal service. Strategy of Federal employee unions a n d t h e Commission will be to concentrate on passage of this all-important measure. E f forts will be t a k e n f r o m work on other legislation already i n t r o duced in t h e 79th Congress to get this one sent to the President. Something m u s t be done in t h e way of Federal salaries a t least before J u n e 30th. T h a t is when t h e overtime pay bill expires. T h e President afiOrmed this i n h i s message. Rep. Ramspeck h a s announced his intention of having his Civil Service Committee m a k e a t h o r ough study of t h e whole Federal pay structure. Results of this probe will probably be incorporated into t h e Commission omnibus bill a n d passage before J u n e 30th is considered likely by legislative leaders. T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Costs I n addition t h e President recommended several minor changes in civil service practice. He recommended t h a t a rider be written i n t o t h e independent ofiQces a p propriation bill to pay t h e t r a n s portation expenses of a n e m ployee a n d his immediate family when h e is ordered transferred f r o m one official station t o a n other for p e r m a n e n t duty. Another proposal was to permit Bureau of the Budget would give agencies t o pay three cents a mile raises, true time and one-half, to employees who use their pri- holiday pay and other Important vate cars on official business. f o r one-out-of-three selecticm i n making promotions f r o m eligible lists. This permits t h e selection of employees f o r promotion who m a y be lower on t h e lists t h a n those by-passed. T h e Civil Service Law r e g a r d ing promotions f r o m eligible lists reads: " T h e Commission (Civil Service) shall upon receiving a request f r o m a n appointing o f ficer for t h e certification of eligibles for a v a c a n t position certifjr f r o m t h e eligible list for t h a t position t h e t h r e e n a m e s a t t h e h e a d of t h e list . . .

A new form of payroll check issued by those departments whose checks are prepared on IBM machines by the Comptroller, does the job. The new check contains a stub which is in effect an accountant's statement. The stub contains such information as: Retirement number Gross salary for t h e payroll p e riod Accumulated gross salary on a n a n n u a l basis as of J a n u a r y 1 Withholding tax f o r t h e payroll period Total withholding t a x on a n accumulated basis Deductions for war bonds Deductions f o r m a i n t e n a n c e Deductions f o r retirement loans, Public 'Administration Poge 10 arrears, garnishees Deductions for life, accident a n d h e a l t h insurance I n a word, t h e stub gives t h e employee a thorough view. T h e interesting thing about this efficient method is t h a t the employee need hold on only to his latest payroll stub t o know just where h e stands. T h e innovation begins a s of J a n u a r y 1, 1945. T h e aim of t h e Comptroller's Office is eventually to include all S t a t e employees imder t h e new system, a n d departments will be t a k e n in just as soon as they a r e ready. High Praise T h e Oovernor's Office h a s issued a s t a t e m e n t praising t h e Comptroller for this work. T h e Associatipn of S t a t e Civil Service Employees says: "We hail with extreme gratitude t h e progressive action of Comptroller F r a n k Moore in providing e m ployees whose pay checks pass through t h e Comptroller's pay check machine a full s t a t e m e n t as t o their salary a n d their d e ductions.

Page Three CIVIL SERVICE LEADER ay, Januarf 16, 194S Facts for 4-F's, 2-A's. 2-B's With the war industries and the armed forces operating at the highest pitch since December 7, 1941, and with the need for man" power at a new height, there has come a Hood of questions from men who are not now in the armed services. Two of The LEADER'S editors have taken a number of typical questions, and worked out authoritative answers based on the best Governmental sources. General Irocffey By BRIGADIER (;ENERAL JOHN J. BRADLEY ( R e t . ) Military Editor. Civil Service LEADER And MAXWELL LEHMAN Executive Editor, Civil Service LEADER 1. Is a 4-P free, at the present time, to take any job he pleases? NO. I F HE is In any warBupporting activity, he requires a release (Itnown as statement of availability) from his employer o r from t h e War Manpower Commission, before he may Change his job. If he is engaged In a non-essential activity, the Government requests t h a t he change his job to one contributing toward the war effort. 2. How can one determine whether he is now in a warBupporting activity warranting a deferred classification under selective service? INQUIRE of your local board. 3. Please explain the difference between 4-F, 2-A. 2-A (F), 8-B. and ?-B (F). 4.F—Disqualified for military «ervic« by reason of physical, tnental or moral unfitness. 2-A—Engaged in a job concerned with national health, interest, safety, or welfare. Ex^unple: a locomotive engineer, a Hew York City patrolman. 2-A (F)—Disqualified for military service but engaged in a war-supporting activity. 2-B—Engaged in direct war production. Example: machinist ill a munitions plant. 2-B (F)—Disqualified for military service but engaged in direct war production. Other categories are these: 1-A—Acceptable for military aervice. 1-A (L)—Acceptable for limited military service. 2-A (L)—Acceptable for limited service but engaged in a warsupporting activity. 2-B (L)—Acceptable for limited military service but engaged in war production. 3-D—Deferred by reason of extreme hardship to wife, ohililreu, or parents. 4. Is there any difference, with regard to Selective Service, between a 4-F under 30 and a 4-F Over NO, EXCEPT that at the present time t h e pool of all men vnder 30 is subject to re-examination for possible induction Into the armed forces. 5. Can a 4-F now engaged in Wn-essential work be ordered by a n y agency to take an essential Job? IF PENDING legislation should fce enacted into law, some Federal agency will have this right. At present, the Government is urging 4-Fs voluntarily to enter 'war-supporting jobs. 6. Have the physical standards for Army service been lowered? NO. EXCEPT for men cla^isified 2-A (F), 2-B (F), 2-A (L> a n d 2-B (L), who leave their jobs a f t e r December 12, 1944, without permission of their local boards. These men become subiect to immediate re-classificalion into l-A, and induction into Mie Army under reduced physical standards. 7. I understand that the An. y |ia.s quite enough men to perf o r m limited service jobs. How t h e n could it delve into tlie ranks of the 4-Fs, most of whom presumably would not be fit for oombat service? THE NATION is more interested in having these men on war-contributing jobs t h a n in the armed forces. Congress is presently considering legislation which would enable the " d r a f t ing" of such men into essential work. 8. Please describe the difference between essential and unessential industry. Essential and un-essential job. THERE WAS at one time a listing of essential industries and essential jobs within those industries, This is no longer used by selective service officials. Generally, it requires the exercise of common sense to determine whether the m a n is contributing toward national health, safety, or welfare. For example, t h e driver of a milk truck, while not strictly speaking engaged in war work, would nevertheless be considered as making a contribution, because milk is a necessary food, and milk must be delivered. But a race track operator, a b a r tender, a bookie, a jewelry salesman, are making no contribution whatsoever. The baking of bread is certainly a n essential activity; but a baker whose sole job (let us say) is putting curlicues on cake could well be dispensed with. Government activity as a whole is considered essential, but no great h a r m would be done the community if a climber and pruner failed to cut the twigs on trees for a year or two, so a climber and pruner might be considered eligible for induction into the armed forces. A plMit nursery which produces foodplants is doing important work, and a worker engaged in this activity is making an important contribution. But if the nursery merely produces fancy flowers, the worker's local board could reasonably consider him for classification into 1-A. 9. Must the employers of all 4-P's file certificates that they are engaged in war-contributing work? If so, what is the nature of this certificate? Who obtains it — the employer or the employee? THERE is no compulsion on employers to file anything. However, in order t h a t local boards may be informed, they have what is known as a 42-B form, "Occupational Certification." This form merely certifies in what activity the employer is engaged, and what job the employee holds within .that activity. For purposes of deferment, there is a n other form, known as "42-A," which is a request by the employer for deferment of his employee. Either the employer or the employee may receive this form. Local boards in the New York area have recently been instructed to send such forms to their registrants, who in turn give them to the employer to fill out. 10. If a 4-F. 2-A (P), or 2-B (F) leaves his job, what is his position with regard to the draft? THE MAN classified 2-A, 2-B. 2-A (F), 2-B (F), 2-A (L) or 2-B (L), becomes subject to immediate reclasiiification into 1-A, and subject to military duty, if he leaves his job. The man classified 4-F would be strongly requested to go into war-supporting activity, and if pending legislation goes through, would be subject to penalties if he refuses. 11. What is the status of a 4-F who is engaged in his own business? For example, the head of a chain store, or a man in the textile business? A 4-F conducting his own business can't be compelled, at the present time, to give up his business (assuming t h a t it isn't contributing to the war effort), and go into war work. A 2-A having his own business may, on the other hand, be considered available for induction if the local board decides his business is no longer contributing to t h e war effort. Of course, the local board can at any time order any m a n who has been previously disqualified for service for examination to determine whether his disability is still of such a nature as to bar him from military service. 12. There have been stories of cutbacks in production which have put men out of work. W h a t is the status of such men? What ought they to do, in your opinion? THEY WILL be given a reasonable opportunity to become engaged in some other activity. The United States Employment Service will be able to advise such men of other openings. 13. Suppose an employee thinks he is performing essential work, but his employer refuses to file a 42-A form for him. W h a t should he do? IT IS the local board which determines (except In t h e case of Government employees and men under 26) who should go into 2-A or 2-B. Any employee who feels t h a t he has been unjustly classified may make an appeal. For Government mnployees who think they are essential but whose agencies will not file the proper certificate for them, t h e procedure is this: Citjr and State employees may go to the United States Employment Service and ask for clarification of their status; if still dissatisfied, they have another appeal to the War Manpower Commission. Federal employees appeal first to a special appeals bureau of the Federal Civil Service Commission, and then to the War Manpower Commission. If it is determined t h a t the work which a public employee is performing does not contribute to the war effort, he may be given a release to take another job. 14. What is the status of professional men doing their own work? For example, an attorney, an accountant, a writer? THE LOCAL BOARD determines the importance of his contribution to national health, safety, welfare, or interest. A lawyer doing collection work probably would not be considered as performing essential work; but a lawyer advising a war plant concerning governmental regulations affecting its operation, probably would obtain » deferred classification. 15. Is Government work essential? YES. 16. Does this include Federal, State, City and County work? YES. 17. Are all public employees therefore deferred? Please explain. Dual Job Purge in NYC Fire Department Members of the New York City Fire Department, who think they have enough troubles with an 84-houi' work-week, whose fight against t h e department gug-rule has been stymied in Court, who aren't too happy about their future chances of promoti5n after tlie recent mass promotions to lieutenant, now are feeling the effects of a dualjob purge. I Recently, eight flremen, from Headquarters indicate that this In the past, firemen have been I turned in by other workers on outside jobs who reported the part-time Fire Department workers. or by investigators from the Fire Marshal's Office who h a p pened on the fact t h a t they held T j only the beginning. They say other jobs. But this time, it's a partmental trials. with this ' that another group of between 30 large scale investigation, concharge: "Did engage in another I and 50 firemen are down on the ducted by the City Department of or occupation." | "future" book of the department, Investigation, which turns reports U i l iiuess n offloial sources around Fire : slated fur dismiosal after a trial. over to the Department for aotioa. NO. FEDERAL workers cannot be deferred without a n authorized request from their own agencies. City, State, and County employment is considered, f r o m t h e selective service point of view, in the same category as private employment. Some jobs will be considered as more essential t h a n others. Thus, a subway engineer, a laboratory technician in the hospitals, a sanitation man. might well be deemed to be performing work contributing to national health, safety, or welfare; whereas a clerk in the City Collector's office, to cite an example, may not be. A guiding principle is whether the job could be accomplished by substitutions. T h e job of a fireman or patrobnan cannot be accomplished by substitutes. These men, even when they want to enter the armed services, are not being drafted, unless they obtain a release from their department heads. But if positions which older men or women, or a group of persons, can fill, the incumbent may be considered for induction. The Army wants young, physically fit men a t this time. The only really big category of such men remaining are the 2-A's and 2-B's, between 26 and 29 years of age. Such men may anticipate induction, whatever their civilian activities, except in cases where they are irreplaceable. 18. May Selective Service take ft man out of essential industry a n d give him a 1-A classification. YES. The local board may consider that though the industry is essential, the job is not. Or, if the job is essential, the board may inquii'e whether the work couldn't be done by overage persons or by women, or whether it could be broken down into parts and performed by several people. 19. Can a local board tell the employer of a n essential industry: "You have too many men on your 'essential' list. We are therefore going to d r a f t some of your men, even though you have filed 42-A forms for them."? IN THE EARLY DAYS of Selective Service, replacement schedules were set up, which allowed the employer to hold on to the men h e needed while training others to take his place. When the time limit expired, the m a n was inducted. Today, the local board can consider the case only of its own registrants. The board may, however, look into the situation, and if it determines that the employer has many more men t h a n he needs in the job upon which its own registrant is employed, the board may then order the induction of the registrant. This despite the fact that a 42-A form has been filed for him. 20. There is the case of a professional man now earning a fairly large income, but not engaged in a war-supporting activity. His family is accustomed to a scale of living determined by his salary. If he takes a war job, he will earn very little, since he has no skill. What should this m a n do? HE'LL HAVE TO choose between a war-contributing job and service with the armed forces. I n war, many suffer; and his case is no more difficult then t h a t of many men who have left their families and gone to the fighting fronts. 21. Can you make any broad statement concerning the large number of clerical employees in New York City? CLERICAL e m p l o y e e s are much less likely to be considered SIS essential workers t h a n those with technical skills. However, much clerical work is important to the war effort. Only the local board will be in a position to judge, weighing each individual case. 22. Please give a definition of a "hardsliip case." IF A MAN'S induction will result in "extreme hardship and privation on his dependents," he will not be inducted. The f a c t that it will be difficult for his family to make adjustments is of little consequence. Thus, if a man is supporting his invalid parents, who have no means of Income other t h a n from him, his local board may consider giving him a 3-D (hardship) classification. However, before the board does so, it will inquire if there are any other members of the family who should be taking over the burden of supporting the parents. 23. If one disagrees with the decision of his local board, has he an appeal. SURELY. The system of appeals is carefully described on the classification card of every man registered with a selective service board. 24. What is the status of men classified as 1-A (L). THIS classification, which means acceptable for limited military service, has been discontinued. All such men are now classified as 4-F, 2-A (L), or 2-B (L). 25. Why have some 4-F's been classified 2-A (F>, others not. though engaged in the same type of activity. IT MAY BE that some 4-F's have not notified their local boards of the nature of their employment. Or, the local board simply may not have come around to reclassifying the man. In such a case, the reclassfication will be made in due time. It is advisable for every 4-F to obtain a 2-A (F) or 2-B (F) clas.^fication as rapidly as possible This will indicate t h a t he is engaged in some activity-lieliiful to the prosecution of the war If you are 4-F and desire to learn about how you can become 2-A (F) or 2-B (F)^ communicate with your local board immediately. 26. How can local boards be prevented from classifying 4-Ps into 1-A simply in order to meet their quotas? A MAN cliissified as 4-F cannot be simply reclassified as 1-A. Local board memorandum 77-A sets up a procedure whereby medical advisory boards examine any 4-F who, in the opinion of the local board, may now possibly be acceptable for military service. These advisory boards, of which there are several in the New York area, consist of outstanding civilian specialists. Only a f t e r they report their findings, may the local board re-classify the m a n into 1-A (provided of course the report shows he no longer possesses the disability which previously made him a 4-F). 27. Is it advisable for every 4-F who thinks he is in essential work to ask his employer to file a 42-A form? YES. Then there can be ne doubt of the nature of the mmployee's work. A new wrinkle In Fire Department procedure came up in two cases where firemen were called in for trial on charges of outside employment, before First Deputy Commissioner Ferdinand Butenschoen. These two men. Firemen Terence J. McArdle and James T. Taylor had only put in one day on the outside job, so they were each fined one day's pay and let off. Others, who were dismissed, are: Firemen Daniel J. Grady, John P, J. Reich, Rudolph H. Ungerer, Thomas J. Kilkenny. Harold R Donnelly. John J. OilUck. WiUiam A. Klages, Jr.. Jeremiah P. Daly. The recent promotions to lieutenant were indicated as aiming at a resumption of the threeplatoon system and reasonable working hours. However, one comment of Fire Commissioner Patrick Walsh is reported around the department. The Commissioner, an old-time fiiemen, who came up the ranks, is quoted as saying: "What t h e h are they complaining about. During the last war we worked continuous tours (four hQurs off every twenty-four)."

F YOU want to know the face of feudalism, look at New York City's Fire Department. If you want to see an unhappy, disconsolate group of men, just keep looking. We don't know what Commissioner Walsh's purposes are. And we're not going to lay all the blame on him. Walsh has a boss, too. But anybody can see he's running the most demoralized department in the City. And we think that the people of New York had better start telling the Commissioner that they're paying him for services rendered, and those services can't be what they ought to be when he kicks his employees in the teeth at every opportunity. The latest business is the firing of eight men for holding outside jobs. And we learn that a lot more are slated for dismissal. Remember, this is in a department where the shortage of men is so desperate that most of the employees are on an 84-hour week (for free, those extra hours, by the way). Now we realize aa-weU as anybody that a case can be made out that firemen shouldn't work on outside jobs. We think it's a shaky case, but we'll admit it can be made. (For the record, even that case doesn't hold for other City employees). However, before you kick out employees in the Fire Department, you think twice, three times, and then again. These are days when one has to give up one's prejudices. Commissioner, in the interests of national health, safety and welfare. • There just aren't enough men in the Fire Department. New York City can't afford to lose those eight men who were dismissed. Fire is too dangerous an enemy to play around with. And it seems to us it's time the citizenry of this town should ask some questions of their Fire Commissioner. Incidentally, Fireman Elbert Hardman, age 84, of Engine Company 36, killed last week while fighting a Harlem fire, wasn't being paid at the time, we hear. He was putting in those free extra hours when his skull was crushed. HERE'S a description of Governor Dewey as seen in the Stat^ Legislature: Uses fewer gestures than formerly in speaking, and " less theatrical. . . . Seems thinner, more worn. . . . His hands appear slimmer, a trifle quicker in motion. . . , The Governor still has som* y of his tan gained on his Georgia vacation. . , . His dark hair is cut close to his head, which he holds erectly. . , . Mustache clpped closer. ^ than usual. . . . His diction is clear, but he follows no particular speech pattern. . . . Appearing before the legislators, he wore a darit suit, his collar cut low—like that of a singer or orator. . . . * I letters Objects to Oldsters Staying On the Job Sirs: Assume t h a t you entered Civil Service some 15 or 20 years ago as a result of a competitive examination and t h a t you have rendered honest, f a i t h f u l and conscientious service, without complaint; t h a t you have strived for promotion, for t h e purpose of earning higher wages, which d u r ing the passage of time h a s become an absolute necessity for you, because your growing and increased family needs more f u n d s ; a n d assume f u i t h e r , t h a t through your diligent efforts you have Anally obtained a place on a promotion list, which w a r r a n t s your looking forward to a long hoped for promotion; assume f u r t h e r , t h a t t h e position you are seeking should in all fairness be made open to you, if some of the employees holding said positions, a n d who have attained the retireable age of 70 years and over, leave nothing undone to cling to continued employment, and thereby create your obstacle to promotion, and, in order to forestall their retirement, manage to have some one interested set up a ridiculous claim t h a t their services w e Indispensable and t h a t thereby you are prohibited from obtaining your first promotion, I ask you, would not such a condition, exasperate you just a wee bit too much? Certainly something should be done to weed out these old men f r o m office. They have rendered their services, have earned a pension and should be fair t o the others below them, looking for a promotion. EMPLOYEE. More and more persons over 70 are being retained in their jobs. Is this complaint a just one? Let's h e a r from otiier readers.—£d. War Employees Re-Invehtigated? Sirs: Your paper does so much for t h e good of Civil Service emloyees now wont you do somealng for those of us employed under C. 8. in t h e various W a r L agencies — especially on lower IBixJudway? They a r e starting to re-inveetiate u s ~ e a c h employee wa^; e i v ^ -8 slieets of good paper, with e { instructions. Disregarding previous investigations, they are to contact employers again. People thus contacted will think, n a t u r a l ly t h a t we are suspects. Most of us did n o t keep a copy of w h a t we put down before— one little slip in dates, or places, and out will go galloping a field investigator, and letters will be sent out by "Personnel" with t h e u n f o r t u n a t e employee "hounded" because h e or she can't remember some trivial bit of wanted information. LEADER ADMIRER. He Favors Plan Of Automatic Promotion Sirs: Regarding your newspaper's articles on automatic promotions, I must admit it is a step in t h e right direction. T h e r e is spmething visry wrong with the entire procedure of promotions in t h e city service. T h e r e is only one way to base a promotion and t h a t is on length of service and competency of job. I a m in accord with your suggestion of automatic promotions a t the end of 8 or 10 years in t h e city service. You either know 'yomr job and the work of t h e b m e a u in t h a t time or you do not! T h e r e are no two ways about it. If you do not know your work in t h e time specified, well, then—you just don't belong in the service. I say 99 per cent of the civil service people are for AUTOMATIC PROMOTIONS based on MERIT and LENGTH O F SERVICE. May you continue your good work in supporting the civij service employees in their efforts to secure a better promotion system. VINCENT ALLORO. New Appointments In NYC Law Dept. T h e following appointments t o the-New York City Law Department were announced last week: Harriet Levine, Temporary Typist a t $1,200. Investigators a t $1,6130: Lambert A. Bisserup, Jr., Joseph J. Cetrangolo, Lawrence J. Hagerty, Ben M. Selbst, Charles A. Thompson, Jerome Wunder. Mario A. Procaccino, Assistant Corporation Counsel at $3,500. Edmund A. Donnelly THE SOUND of a gasoline engine h a s always been music to his ears, he's made his hobby his life's work, a n d today, E d m u n d A. Donnelly is Assistant to the Commissioner of the NYC D e p a r t m e n t of Sanitation, in charge of motor equipment. Dui-ing the war, it's a job t h a t ' s one of the toughest in the whole City. "I've worn t h e knees off my trousers through begging for tires," h e says. And the problem of keeping fleets of trucks a n d cars working under wartime conditions is gigantic. T h e D e p a r t m e n t of Sanitation is f o r t u n a t e in having the largest tool shop in the East, located a t 16th Street and Avenue C, where almost every needed p a r t for a truck or car can be made. T h a t shop is also under Mr. Donnelley's supervision, a n d it also helps t o keep t h e motor vehicles of other City departments in action. "If not for t h a t shop," he says, "we would have stopped rolling long ago." Besides having his own worries in t h e depai-tment, he's tackling even bigger problems. As alternate c h a i r m a n of t h e Private Carriers Committee of the Office of Defense Transportation, he helps f o r m u late national policies to conserve the nation's supply of rubber a n d trucks so t h a t they'll last out the war emergency. His life-time sport h a s been motor boat racing a n d h e knows every aspect of it, from the driver's seat to engineering sti-ucture of hulls a n d motors. He can roll off the list of famous racing boats like a race track devotee listing horses. During the last war, he put t h a t knowledge to good service for the Government. He used to take submarine chasers out on trial trips for the S t a n d a i d M o t w Boat Company a n d enjoys being a marine test-pilot. T h e salt in his blood might have influenced his d a u g h ter, Betty Ann, who is engaged t o Daniel Joseph Tobin, USNR, a student a t the Pi-e-Midshipman Schol a t Asbury Park, New Jersey. One of his sons. Prank, is in the Naval Toi-pedo Service a t Pensacola, another, Gerard, is with t h e Army Air Forces in Alaska. He rose to his present position in the department through the ranks. Twenty-one years ago he took a civil service examination a n d was appointed to a job in the Sanitation Depai'tm e n t as Auto-Machinist. I n 1935, he became a Foreman of Mechanics a n d Chief of Motor Vehicle Repairs. And in November 1942 h e received his present appointm e n t in charge of motor equipment. The recent snowstorm h a d him up at work before dawn with other department officials a n d employees; a n d the job of clearing t h e City's highways was c a n i e d out despite the shortages of m e n a n d equipment. "Used to be," h e says ' t h a t we could send out a n emergency call a n d get a hundred mechanics. Today we can't get one." But by Improvising and working harder, the work gets done. He's a native of Rochester and came down to the big City because tliei-e was more action in the automobile industi-y. He worked with t h e Packard Motor Company for seven years before taking t h e City Job. He's without a boat now, but as soon as t h e war ends, he'll be brick on Long Island Sound (he evsn lives n e a r t h e water. In Foresi Hills), skimming over the waves in his new post-war boat.

About the Salary of State ' ' " • ' Employee-Government " - . - ^ . Employees IN T H I S COLUMN last week I tried t o express t o Governor Dewey t h e appreciation of S t a t e employees for his recommendations of methods for improving their conditions. T h e t h r e e recommendations are highly pleasing t o us. both as individuals a n d as a S t a t e wide association. Of t h e other subjects with which t h e Governor dealt a n d recommended legislation, several have been criticized b o t h by members of his own p a r t y and by others. Not one word of criticism have I read of t h a t p a r t of his message dealing with S t a t e employees. T o the contrary, editorials have appeared in m a n y newspapers highly commending t h e Governor for his thorough u n d e r standing of these problems. Sliding Scale Pay Plan T W O YEARS AGO we presented a plan for salary a d j u s t m e n t s based on the rise a n d fall of living costs. We were not able to obtain passage of this bill, but t h e now familiar 10 per cent a n d 7Va per cent compensation plan became law. Our associates worked directly with t h e staff of the Executive D e p a r t m e n t supplying f a c t s a n d figures which resulted in t h e law as passed. Again last year we introduced a bill for a sliding scale of pay, and again it failed of passage, t h e f o r m e r year's salary a d j u s t m e n t plan being re-enacted. We continued to work on our plan, stressing its two most i m p o r t a n t f e a t u r e s : first, a self-adjusting scale based on governmental reports of living costs, and second, extension of t h e provisions t o all S t a t e employees. T h i s year our efforts are to be rewarded. While t h e plan recommended by Governor Dewey does not embrace all t h e f e a t u r e s of our plan, it does recognize two i m p o r t a n t f e a t u r e s of it. Those a r e : a substantial Increase in t h e a m o u n t of salary a d j u s t m e n t , a n d its extension to all State employees. This is a distinct a n d definite victory for our association, coming a s it has, a f t e r two years of ceaseless e f f o r t on our part. We believe t h a t t h e 27,000 S t a t e employees loyally banded together in our great organization need n o t hesitate t o t a k e credit for this momentous achievement, a t t h e s a m e time again voicing appreciation to Governor Dewey for his action on this matter. However, we still feel t h a t t h e p a r t of our plan which provides for a sliding scale of percentage a d j u s t m e n t s based on living costs is sound, a n d we have already reintroduced a bill containing this principle again this year. Relationship T H O S E of us who, by virtue of our duties in our S t a t e Jobs, come Into daily contact with employees' problems know t h a t wliile most of tlaese can be and are solved a t t h e d e p a r t m e n t level, still m a n y a r e impossible of solution because of the f a c t t h a t they extend beyond hospital, prison, i n ^ t u t i o n , and d e p a r t m e n t lines and t h e r e is n o agency for c o - o r d l M p n g personnel policies at t h e S t a t e level. W e h a v e repeatedly reCTmamended a plan of handling personnel m a t t e r s t h r o u g h a system of personnel oflBces in institutions working with a personnel unit in t h e administrative d e p a r t m e n t s operating these institutions in order to standardize personnel procediues within each department, and to extend this system of personnel control to t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Civil Service, there t o coordinate definite policies a n d effect a s t a n d a r d procedure a t t h e State level. A start was m a d e last year to put such a plan into effect. A bill was enacted into law delegating to the Department of Civil Service t h e duty and responsibility of promulgating rules a n d regulations governing such employee m a t t e r s as a n n u a l vacations, sick leave, holidays, special leaves of absence. V a ^ Difference of Approach NOT UNTIL all S t a t e departments h a d submitted their regulations on these subjects was it fully realized what a dissimilarity (I could t h i n k of a more expressive word) on these basic subjects exists, n o t only as between departments but even as between divisions a n d institutioiis within departments. T h e seemingly endless task of drawing up a set of rules t h a t would be fair and reasonable to employees, a n d a t t h e same time acceptable to department heads, is about completed. Our associates made a most i m p o r t a n t contribution to t h e solving of t h a t problem. And. what is equally important, we will continue to cooperate with the D e p a r t m e n t of Civil Service in obtaining uniform application of these rules a n d regulations to all S t a t e ..employees. Governor Dewey h a s now recommended another important step In improvement of personnel administration. He is t o create by executive order, a personnel council whose f u n c t i o n "would be t o bring together regularly all personnel a n d d e p a r t m e n t fiscal officers t o promote uniformity and to learn at first h a n d of existing problems." This is Indeed a big step in bringing into operation a m a j o r plan of our Association. Permanent Salary Board ANOTHER IMPORTANT item on the 1945 program of t h e Association of State Civil Service Employees is the creation of a p e r m a n e n t Salary Board. Here again t h e soundness of our proposal h a s been recognized. We have repeatedly stated t h a t the law which t r a n s ferred all duties of the present temporary board to t h e Division of ^ t h e Budget should be amended before it becomes effective on December 1, 1945. Governor Dewey agrees with us in this. I quote f r o m his message on this subject: "One fiscal office cannot satisfactorily . provide the service t h a t should be afforded to t h e State and its employees alike in the m a t t e r of salary allocation. A p e r m a n e n t Standardization Board will be created." We are justly proud of our success In having our program on these important subjects accepted by Governor Dewey. Without doubt we will be able to reach an agreement on the details of the necessary . legislation to enact these proposals into law. We have m a n y other important items on our legislative program. W e have a right to feel confident of continued success. Our Associa. . t i o n is accepted as representing all S t a t e employees. We have demonstrated our ability to carry out this responsibility. There should be n o hesitation on t h e part of any S t a t e employee in joining the Association, and feeling confident tliat liis Interests will be properly and adequately protected.

DeCraff on Radio Suggests 5-10 Points On Tests, Choice in Labor Jobs, for Vets ALBANY—John T. DeGraff, speaking over the radio last week, went into detail concerning a n over-all plan of veteran preference which is being proposed by some 20 organizations throughout the State. T h e program provides appointment advantages to veterans over a m u c h larger range of jobs t h a n does t h e H a m p t o n - D e v a n y measure now before t h e Legislature; and it would provide 5-and-lO point extra credit to veterans on civil service examinations. Mr. DeGraff said: "Is it possible to give some f o r m to repealing the Civil Service Law. of preference to veterans and a t We simply cannot have Civil Servt h e same time m a i n t a i n a n e f - ice and t h e Hampton-Devany bill fective civil service system?

Under the proposed bill every disabled veteran, no m a t t e r how low he is on the list, must be placed at the top.

Introduced by Senator Halpern and Assemblyman Barrett, t h e bill is - sponsored by the Association of Btate Civil Service Employees. At last year's session, a similar bill ' failed of passage, but it was u n derstood t h a t friendlier treatment awaited the proposal a t t h e f o r t h " coming session, which is the curr e n t one. It is known t h a t the ad.. ministration h a s already done Bome work to determine the cost of such a bill, in t h e event it - should become law. . • Page Nin« CaVlL SERVICE LEADER Jannanr 16, 194S While State employment la reputed to be relatively stable, e m ployees who lose their jobs have the same need of miemployment insurance, to tide them over until they can find a new Job, as do employees In private Industry. This bill gives t h e m t h e same protection as private employees under the same procedure and upon t h e same terms. How I t Would Work From t h e fiscal standpoint, u n employment Insurance would be handled In much the same way t h a t Workmen's Compensation I n surance is now handled by the State. T h e State does not pay Workmen's Compensation I n surance premiums. Compensation insurance is carried by the State F u n d under an arrangement whereby the State reimburses the S t a t e Fund for t h e actual awards paid to injured S t a t e employees, plus a charge of 5 per cent for administration expense. This bill provides for exactly t h e same procedure, except t h a t there is no charge for administration expense. T h e Federal authorities have agreed, after conferences with t h e Association a n d t h e Division of Unemployment Insurance, t o absorb t h e administrative expense. This bill contemplates t h a t State employees who lose their jobs shall be entitled to make claim for unemployment Insur- ance benefits on the same basis as private employees. T h e awards to which they may be entitled would, in the first instance be paid f r o m the Unemployment J n sui-ance Fund. The Division would t h e n bill t h e State annually or semi-annually for t h e amounts actually paid out during a given period a n d the State would t h e n reimburse t h e Division f o r such expenditures. I n this way, a needed coverage would be extended to State employees a t a minimum of expense to t h e State. I t is difficult to make a n accurate estimate as to cost because of the uncertainty as to t h e n u m ber of State employees who lose their jobs f r o m year t o year. If State employment is as stabje as it is reputed t o be. t h e cost would be very small. However, the labor turnover in State service, and t h e consequent need for unemployment insurance, is m u c h greater t h a n commonly believed and the cost would probably be in the neighborhood of $400,000 to $500,000 a year. The State requires private employers to provide imemployment insurance. I t ifi pointed out by proponents of the bill t h a t State employees have the same economic needtf as private employees. T h e adoption of this bill would enable the State to practice what it preaches.

The unfairness of this discrimination among veterans t h e m selves should be sufficient to condemn t h e Hampton-Devany bill, but there are other features which are almost as bad. Absolute Preference *T have discussed thus far, only t h e preference in appointment. T h e bill provides for similar absolute preferences in promotion and retention as well. "There are hundreds of promotion lists with 20, 50, or more names f r o m which only two or three appointments are made. I t is obvious t h a t n o n disabled veterans will have little, and ordinary citizens n o chance whatever for advancr'^ent. And it should not be forgotten t h a t this preference is mandatory, not for one promotion examination, but for every promotion examination. A technically disabled veteran could obtain this absolute preference over his fellow veterans and ordinary citizens, again and again and again. The Program "For these reasons, and many others, over a score of organizations such as t h e League of Women Voters, t h e Citizens Union and the Civil Service Reform Association have united in opposition to t h e Hampton-Devany bill. They have proposed a more reasonable preference — a preference which would be fair to the vet- erans, f a i r to t h e public service, and f a i r to civilians. I t is, briefly: "1. A five-point preference credit to veterans and a ten-point preference t o disabled veterans on all examinations for original appointment. This is the practice in most states. "2. A 'disabled' veteran should be defined as one who is entitled to a pernsion for war disability. One veteran should not be given preference over another imless h e h a s a disability substantial enough to be compensable. "3. Time spent in military service should be counted for seniority credit. "4. Disabled veterans should have preference in retention for a period of a t least five years a f t e r the termination of t h e war. "5. All veterans should have preference in appointment for noncompetitive and labor positions, such as chauffeurs, carpenters and the skilled trades. Strange to say, the Hampton-Devany bill grants no preference whatever in these positions which are now largely filled as political patronage wittiout competitive examination. "This program would actually benefit a larger number of veterans t h a n the Hampton-Devany bill. While the preference is less drastic, it is expanded over a broader field. I t would, moreover, permit the continued functioning of the merit system as the foundation of good government, for in the coming years we will need t h e best government we can possibly obtain." 30% REDUCTION ON Remodeling - Repairing Cleaning ARMAND CHENE JOHN EMANUEL Fine Furs New York City WANTED YOU, TOO, CAN SERVE 1 0 4 4 .

ADMINISTRATORS AND PERSONNEL IN ALL PUBLIC AGENCIES Public Mental Hospital Administration By FREDERICK MacCURDY, M.D. Commissioner, New York State D e p a r t m e n t of Mental Hygiene ABOUT one a n d a half years ago I was abruptly d r a f t e d and precipitated Into the field of m u l tiple public m e n t a l hospital a d ministration. Coming as I did f r o m the field of general hospital administration, educated and trained in the field as a whole r&ther t h a n in one specialty, it is from this orientation t h a t I wish to direct my discussion. Whatever the type of institution. hospital administration should approximate in managem e n t the broad general principles of business administration as closely as possible. Such departments as personnel, purchase, stores control, accounting procedures, upkeep, maintenance, communication, etc., all should theoretically p a t t e r n themselves upon their prototypes in the business world. I know and am ready to concede from long experience t h a t in actual practice all business methods must be modified and adapted to the individual undertaking and especially to use in the hospital. First and foremost, the objective and t h e ' "product" of the hoj-pital must be the maximum welfare of the patient. The satisfied customer is the nearest approach to this in business. The customer can shop, the patient cannot, and he comes to us subject to our own method of miniijtering to his needs. Employee Discipline Secondly, employee discipline must in the hospital be more precise and rigid. We cannot accept factory methods but must adjust personnel personalities to the care of patients. I n all discussions it is paramount to remember t h a t our commodity is the welfare of h u m a n beings, and in our mental institutions, m a n y other modifications must be adapted to meet the particular i-equirements of our patients who are mentally ill, a n d frequently—all too frequently— chronically so. I n actual application you will find t h a t this fact and the character of the patient determine the types of clothing, furniture, tableware and many, many other factors in our institutional setup. The corporate setup is a vital fr.ctor, particularly in its possible limitation on adequate organization of the departmental activities. No m a t t e r how we may seek to emulate business or privately controlled institutional methods in striving to make om- administration efficient, we are f r e quently restricted to a greater or less degree by government or other control. I do not think most of us need to have illustrations of til is to appreciate its importance as a factor in finance, policy formulation, plant design and adequacy, personnel limitations, and otlier influences. Or{;aiiization and Training Regardless of certain drawbacks in governmental ownership, we Free Lighting Service Offered To An engineering-lighting service is offered to hospitals free of charge by tiie Holophane Company, 342 Madioon Avenue. New York. This organization has maintained an engineering department for nearly half a ccnlury as a service to architects and engineers. To Uirsist them in planning tlxe lighting system for the operating room, to give maximum efficiency, the company suggests that a floor plan of the operating room, drawn to scale, be sent to them, together with the following information: 1. Ceiling height from floor to finished ceiling. 2. When the fixture is to be recessed partly, or fully, the a m o u n t of clear space depth, width and length, inside the ceil- can do a better job. I n developing the machinery which will ad-minister all our hospitals a t a proper pitch, in-service t r a i n i n g of our officers a n d employees of all grades is of p a r a m o u n t i m portance. Too m u c h attention cannot be paid to t h e development of a skilled and loyal organization. We give regular postgi-aduate instruction to our medical officers in neuropsychiatry, a n d f r o m time to time we give shorter courses in newer methods of t r e a t m e n t and diagnosis. I suspect tliat n o t all of us have given s u f ficiently adequate courses in hospital administration a n d in business methods to our directors a n d business officers. I t is true t h a t m a n y of us train social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, nurses a n d a t t e n d a n t s , b u t we haven't done all t h a t can be done with these groups and others. May I mention in this connection t h e prominent place the practical nurse trained in t h e mental hospital can assume both intramurally and in t h e community. To my mind the public m e n t a l hospitals can do a better job with regular formal training of their office, kitchen, power plant a n d f a r m forces (to mention only a few), considering t h a t their work is of a dual n a t u r e a n d the more peculiar in t h a t these hospitals, at least in part, use patient labor. I would like to say t h a t we plan a n extended course in hospital administration for our assistant directors and business officers in the near future. We now l^ave in process of formulation broad training plans so as to be ready for the postwar r e t u r n of personnel in quantity sufficient for regular a n d expanded training programs. Central Control None will quarrel with the dictum t h a t the public mental hospitals of a state require central control so t h a t uniform policies a n d procedures are employed. And I, of course, must e m p h a size t h a t coincident strong local autonomy is a n equally important factor in multiple hospital a d ministration. The determination of policy, however, and the f u n c tion of inspection and supervision lie in the domain of the central office. The head of the d e p a r t ment, if there are a number of institutions, requires a corps of able assistants in all of the fields concerned. T h e functions of these assistants should be clearly defined and should be segregated into professional care, central office management, and business groupings, so t h a t t h e flow of authority from a n d to the central office may be along logical lines and through clearly defined ajid fixed chamiels. It is the function of the central office assistants to inspect the institutions with respect to their specialties and to consult with the ing should be given. 3. State if the ceiling beams can be arranged to f r a m e the opening for the fixture, or if it must go under the beams. Sometimes a beam layout is needed. 4. Exact beam dimensions a n d locations are needed if the fixture must be fitted around the beams. 5. The position of the operating table in plan, should be given, and a statement of how much it can be moved, in case a beam condition of the ceihng, or some other condition, makes it necessary to shift the center of the light. 6. Mention whether the operating table could be turned a t right angles, if necessary, for the best light. Many of the recommended lighting systems for operating rooms consist of 5 to 35 separate elements, arranged in a scientifically determined pattern. T h e company will also help in plamUug lighting for patients' rooms a n d wards, dental a n d clinical rooms. h e a d of t h e d e p a r t m e n t as to policy. These assistants would i n clude: psychiatrists, a statistician, directors of nursing, occupational therapy, dietetics a n d social service, a n accountant, experts in f a n n i n g , engineering, purchase, a n d 'personnel, a n d a n administrative secretary. Policies a n d Procedures T h e program of such a dep a r t m e n t is founded upon good sound administration. S t a n d a r d policies a n d procedures will prevail f r o m medical care a n d t r e a t inent to proper billing. Good a d ministration must be h a n d e d down into each subdivision even into the smallest patient ward. I n this field a coordinated research program must be carried out, originating in and spreading f r o m one or more pure research centers out into clinical Investigation in t h e several institutions. Research should be employed In all phases of t h e work, even with respect to proper types of floor, cleaners. H a n d in h a n d with r e search goes t h e universal training program to which I alluded. For New York S t a t e I hope t o get w outstanding perscmnel d i rector f o r t h e central office who will have his representative in each institution. We plan a vitalized, progressive personnel policy in cooperation with the D e p a r t m e n t of Civil Service. None will gainsay the h i g h value of good employee morale. Our proposed rules for leaves, plans for recreation, and other facilities, a n d proposed opportunities f o r training will undoubtedly repay us m a n f fold in improved patient care. One of the nafion's eminenf public administrafors folks obouf his mefhods. This is an arfiele nof only for admin' isfrafors in other hospitals, but for officials and employees of all public agencies. For the principles set down by Dr. MacCurdy are workable in other agencies, too. Location of Weils For Water Shown To Be Important T h e importance of proper construction and location of water wells was emphasized in a recent report by K, C. Lauster, acting director of the division of s a n i t a r y engineering of the North Dakota S t a t e Health Department. I n t h a t State, more t h a n 50 per cen of the water samples t a k e n f r o m wells a n d submitted for testing showed contamination. Stressing the f a c t t h a t a well, to be safe, must be properly located, carefully constructed a n d watchfully maintained, h e cited water-tight construction to a depth of a t least ten feet f r o m t h e surface as essential. T h e danger of serious illness, such as typhoid fever, was pointed out as a possible result of water contamination. The basis of Mr. Lauster's r e port was a tabulation of samples received for testing by t h e North Dakota Health Department d u r ing the past year. Safety Records Of Municipalities May Win Prizes I t Is conceded t h a t professional c a r e m u s t be founded on sound administrative methods. O n t h i s basis, then, one m a y profitably a d o p t still other t r e a t m e n t p r o cedures of t h e general hospitcd i n addition to those we now employ. Indeed, t h e closer t h e contact b e tween t h e public m e n t a l hospital a n d t h e general hospital in t h e community, t h e better it Is f o r both—professionally, a d m i n i s t r a tively, a n d sociologically. Long Range P l a n n i n g I n such a program a long r a n g e point of view is m a n d a t o r y . T h i s Is obvious particularly with r e spect t o the building of hospital staffs, t h e initiation of t r a i n i n g programs, a n d most concretely, t h e planning of new construction. I n this latter instance one m u s t consider, a m o n g other things, population trends; changing economic a n d communal modes of living, m a n u f a c t u r i n g , etc.; new presei-ving processes for foods, such as quick freezing; t h e d u r ability of construction materials? a n d m a n y other opportunities t o be opened up by postwar p l a n ning.
