'Clerk Promotions in Doubt
f A number of the 628 cleri,<?al promotions recently announced by the NYC Budget
^ u r e a u — j u s t how many is
Mill unknown—were made
by badly straining the civil
Service law, which provides
ifhe manner in which elii i b l e s must be picked for
promotion. That was learned
at the offices of the Civil Sevtyice Commission last week.
As is usually done, t h e Certifijftfcion B u r e a u of the Commission

reported to t h e Commission, t o

\
I n connection with t h e promotions, a conference was held late
last week between Mrs. Esther
iBromley, acting president of t h e
'^lommission, H. Eliot K a p l a n , secr e t a r y of the Civil Service R e f o r m
^iBSOclation; a representative of
l ^ e Certification Bureau, and
b u d g e t officials at the Budget
b u r e a u ' s offices in t h e Municipal
Building. At this conference, t h e
^ a s i c difference in approach t o w a r d promotions between
the
Budget B u r e a u a n d t h e Civil Ser« o e Commission came out. N o t h m t definite was settled, but It

lowed to compete for the next
higher grade.
I t was found t h a t in m a n y of
t h e City Departments, persons h a d
been passed over for promotion
because they were earning less
t h a n t h e m a x i m u m salary of their
grade. T h a t may be donCj, but
the law must be followed. As explained in last week's LEADER,
t h e law says:
" T h e Commission (Civil Service) shall upon receiving a request
f r o m a n appointing officer for t h e
certification of eligibles for a vacant position certify f r o m ' t h e eligible list for t h a t position t h e
three names at tlie h e a d of the
list. . . . The appointing officer
shall made selection f r o m t h e
three n a m e s certified, except that
in cases where the n a m e s of disabled veterans are certified, such
veterans shall be. given preference
in appointment. . . .
"Selection shall be made singly
a n d in each case f r o m t h e three
highest names remaining eligible. . . . "
^
Only Top Bracket Promotiona
However, in accordance with the
City's policy of only promoting
those at t h e top of their salary
bracket, it appears too m a n y eligibles were skipped in some i n stances.
T h e Civil Service Commission
h a s announced t h a t it will not
permit any illegal promotions to
go through. I n each case where
Irregularities are disclosed, t h e
Commission refuses to p u t t h r o u g h
the promotion, notifies t h e dep a r t m e n t of its action.
I n t h a t case, the following actions may be t a k e n :
1. More promotions m a y be

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES:
HowYou Ge t Lump Sum Pay
For Accrued Annual Leave
WASHINGTON — Here's
how the new law on lump
sum payment of accrued
annual leave will work when
Federal .employee* leave
their jobs:
I t will be m a n d a t o r y to take
such leave in a lump sum, according to t h e Comptroller G e n eral. Here is his decision on this
point.
"While I a m not u n m i n d f u l of
the fact t h a t situations m a y arise
which would make it desirable so
f a r as t h e employees are concerned to take their a n n u a l or
vacation leave in the usual m a n ner immediately prior to s e p a r a tion f r o m t h e service, receiving
periodic payments during t h e
p e m d covered by t h e leave with
retirement deductions and service
credits — particularly where a n
employee wants to count t h e
period of leave for retirement
purposes—nevertheless, I think it
clearly was the intent of t h e law
t h a t the practice be uniform in all
branches of the service a n d as t o
all employees without regard to
the preference of individual employees. . . . I a m constrained t o
hold t h a t t h e s t a t u t e is m a n d a tory a n d t h a t terminal, a n n u a l
or vacation leaves may n o t be
granted Immediately prior to separation f r o m t h e service in any
case where it is known in advance
t h a t t h e employee is t o be separated f r o m the sei-vice."
If You R e t u r n
Another ruling says t h a t when
a n employee h a s l e f t a n agency
a n d received the lump sum, if h e
should later decide to work for
a n o t h e r agency before t h e leave
for which h e h a s been paid expires, h e must r e f u n d t h e gross
amount of money for t h e r e m a i n ing leave to the agency he joins.
T h e money will be recredibed in
leave to him.
This means h e h a s to pay back
more t h a n h e got, because the
taxes were taken out. I t would
be up to t h e employee to get this
back f r o m I n t e r n a l Revenue in
such a case, OAO says.
Other Rulings
Other rulings include:
If a n employee leaves a n d gets
his payment, but is re-employed
by a n agency before t h e period
represented by the leave expires,
it is considered a break in service
for a Ramspeck promotion; a n d
t r a n s f e r of sick leave and r e en\ployment benefits are concerned.
An employee transferred within
a department, f r o m a s t a t u s where
he is entitled to leave to a status
where h e isn't, is due a lump sum
payment liquidating his accinied
leave at the time of t h e t r a n s f e r .
Debts Deducted
Debts due a d e p a r t m e n t or
agency will be deducted f r o m a^ccumulated leave before being paid
to the beneficiary of a deceased.
Only those persons who left on
or a f t e r December 21st are eligible for lump s u m payment for
their terminal leave.
L u m p sum payments to a deceased
employee's
beneficiary
(who couldn't collect f o r the deceased's a n n u a l leaVe prior to t h e
law) must be m a d e
through
General Accounting Office as is
the case with uncollected salry.
These rulings were made a t th«
request of the W a r D e p a r t m e n t .
' There will be others.
NYC Employees May Get Boost in Pay
If Present Albany Plans Co Through
ALBANY — Thousands of
municipal employees in New
York and 60 other Cities
may yet obtain added wartime pay boosts if present
plans now shaping up are
put into effect by the Legislature.
T h e Democrats started t h e ball
for higher p a y for City employees
rolling last week when they sought,
but vainly, to divert $75,000,000 of
this year's $150,000,000 prospective
surplus to t h e localities.
I n s t e a d of putting all the. s u r plus into the S t a t e treasury, along
with $163,000,000 socked away by
Governor Dewey last year, t h e
Democrats proi)osed t h a t half t h e
a m o u n t be siphoned into city coffers for pay raises for employees.
F u n d s P u t Away
But t h e Republicans, mider t h e
advice of Governor Dewey, put all
of t h e f u n d s away for post-war
construction. Although all Repub-
licans voted for t h e "lock-up"
measure, t h e i e were plenty o t
them in both houses who said p r i vately and publicly t h a t ' t h e D e m ocrats were right in their position,

Editor, "we'll crate you and ship you on an A-1 priority." , . .

B
o t h Federal and State employees seem assured of
higher pay vhis year.
President Roosevelt-in his bu.dget message to
Congress, and Governor Dewey in his message to the
Stat€ Legislature, urged increases in the pay of public
employees. Both men recognize, and both stated frankly,
that public employees have suffered in the war period, as
compared with employees in private industry. Legislation
has been readied to provide the necessary increases.
But in New York City, Mayor LaGuardia has been
significantly mum on the subject of higher pay for employees. His recent message to the City Council held out
no hope for improvement here. Arid heads of departments
have been asked to keep expenses down. Even when they
want to, they have no way of upping the pay of employees.
It is a little sad, and employees of the City are disheartened as they see themselves once again the stepchildren
of wartime economy. The City's policy can hardly be
deemed a wise one. The promotion of some 600 clei'ical
employees and some 200 firemen doesn't, of course, begin
to solve the problem. We suggest that Mayot LaGuardia
follow the example of the Federal and State executives,
and look with more sympathy upon the needs of the City's
employees. In passing, we'd like to recommend to the
Mayor's attention a study made by Philadelphia's municipal research bureau, which shows that New York City's
Sanitation men earn less than similar workers in other
large cities, even though the cost-of-living index in NYC
is higher.
There has been talk in Albany that the State* may
turn back to the municipalities a portion of the heavy
State tax accumulation, and that the municipalities will in
turn use this windfall to increase the pay of local employees. [See story on Page 1.] Maybe yes, maybe no.
We'd like to see it happen, but it's hardly something to
bank on. The place where better pay originates is at home.

YOU PROBABLY didn't know
t h a t New York City is In t h e real
estate business on a big scale, b u t
t h a t ' s so, a n d Jerome Leo Haney,
h e a d of the Division of City Revenue, manages property for t h e
Real Estate Bureau of t h e Board
of Estimate, a n d h a s all t h e troubles of a landlord.
Before the .war, t h e City usually
h a d between two a n d three thousand pieces of propei*ty which it
rented out. Right now, it's down
to about 1,600 but t h e r e a r e more
difficulties to face.
For one thing, OflSce of Price
Administration rulings apply to
Uncle Blnickerbocker as m u c h as
to any other landlord, a n d volluninous forms have to be m a d e
out a n d filed with t h a t agency.
T e n a n t s w a n t h e a t , repairs, new
stoves, a n d have other complaints.
How I t Happens
How the City h a p p e n s to be In
the real estate business m a k e s a n
interesting story. Mr. H a n e y explains t h a t property is acquired
by purchase or condemnation t o
m a k e room for schools, parks,
playgrounds, parkways, or other
purposes. However, before t h e
buildings are demolished to m a k e
room for the new development
may take a considerable t i m e some property h a s been on the
City's h a n d s for years. So, instead
of boarding up the buildings a n d
having the job of protecting t h e m
f r o m vandalism, the City r e n t s
them out and nets itself some
money in t h e process.
Blueprints Ready
T h e post-war era will find Mr.
Haney a busy m a n . Blueprints
are ready f o r millions of dollars of
City construction a n d m u c h of it
will involve taking over private
property.
For recreation, h e likes to get
as f a r away f r o m buildings as h e
can. His favorite spot is ice-skating on a big lake without even
a building in sight.
W h e n h e first took a job with
t h e City 24 years ago (as a clerk
in the same Bureau which h e now
heads) h e was quite a ball player,
and was a member of semi-professional baseball teams in Brooklyn.
Now he's one of t h e rabidest
Dodger f a n s in the Municipal
Building, a n d will defend Brooklyn from all slanderers.
Every year, his bureau brings a
few h u n d r e d thousand dollars into
the City treasury f r o m premises
it h a s rented out, a n d he h a s h a d
to manage all kinds of property;
private homes, tenements, stores,
lofts, factory buildings. So. if
you h a p p e n to see a sign somewhere "For Rent, apply Room
1030, Municipal Building," you'll
be looking a t one of the places
which h a s the City for a landlord.

Among Matters Covered in Albany Bills
Following is the first of The LEADER'S weekly summaries of civil service legislation introduced into the State
Senate and Assembly. The listing will be a regular feature
during the legislative session in Albany. These bills affect
not only State workers, but employees of every City,
County and other public jurisdiction in the State. For
identification, each item carries the name of the legislator
who introduced it, the Print and Introductory number, by
which its progress may be followed through committee, in
the houses of the Legislature, ai;id when it comes before
Governor Dewey for approval or veto. Every employee is
advised to follow these listings regularly; they're important
because the bills may affect your future.

interesting employee viewpoint on t h e S t a t e R e t i r e m e n t System.
The scene is the living: room of John C.
Service, a veteran of nineteen years in the
service of the grreat State of New Tork.
Because of family problems, he has reaigrned, and in winding: iip his career with
the State, has rcQuested the Hetireipent
System for a statement of his account
and present status. Like most of us, he
has never understood, nor tried very hard
to unilerstand liis rights, but had accepted
on faith the theory -thai membership in
the system v a s desirable and that thron«rh
it the State was helping him prepare for
finaiicial security for his later years.
This day he received the rcQuested
statement, showiner that he had approximately $4,,'}00.00 in his account, as a result of camributing- .11150.00 per year, or
6% of his $3,000.00 salary. He is also
surpriHed and disappointed to learn th»t
while he is entitled to the withdrawal ol
this sum. this is all he is entitled to so far
the Retirement System ,i« concerned.
While he appreciates the fact that he
hasn't been charg-ed for the privilege of
compulsory membership, he feels somehow
that he has been deceived. Even the 4%
intcresi rale deosn't look as good to hinx
now that he has learned that all he has is
a compulsory savings account that has
been closed out. So. tonig-ht he has asked
his friend Frank Jones, an insurance man,
to.cell and discuss his problem and this is
the conversation which resulted:
JOHN—Well. Frank, It seems as if I am
acain facing a problem I thought 1 had
solved nineteen years ago: How to provide
for my wite and myself when I have to
take my place on the sideline.
F R A N K — I m certainly Sony to hear
that, biit what has happened to. your
State Retirement Program? I remember
t never could interest you in annuities before because of your State program.
JOHN—As you know, 1 Wft my job
with the State to take ovei' Dad's buHineas.
There wan no one else to take his place
and no other way to protect the family's
investment, and now I find I Iv^v*-'
more GUI Age Sefurity Program tlian I
could have had in any bank. (He explains deluiis as staled above.)
So you
see, Fr;uik. I'm going to have to listen to
you after a(».
FRANK—t'm surprised Uiat the Slate
would have forced you to join any program 80 vulnerable, .^re you sure you
have no vested riglits. no other alternaUve than the return of your money?
JOHN—That's what they tell me. Frank.
J've been wondering what I would have
today it I had been free to invest this
^150.00 per year in one of those annuities you have been talking about.
FRANK—I couldn't say offhand. b<v
cause contraclH and rate.s have changed
considerably iu the past nineteen years,
but my company guaranteed
inter
est on our contrac ts at t h a f time, and iu^
the early years this would have been increased by dividends, as the company wan
earning in excess of 31/2%. However, it
would be comparable to the amount you^
have iu your ,State Fund.
JOHN—^Well, 1 certainly thought I mM
getting something much better than I
could buy from a private company wheni.
I got into this thing.
FRANK—I won't attempt to compare
the two programs. After all, ifi Bo/ne
cases, 1 understand your State System pay8\,
ou* twice as much as the employees' contributions would afford. However, in your
case even if the reserve value of any privaie insurance contract were exactly equal*,,
to the refuiul you rccclved from the Slate,
you would still be the loser.
JOHN—How is that?
If the two
amounts are equal, why would 1 be worw ^
oft because of having entered the State
System y
FRANK—First, if you had piu'chiwed
priv.ite contiact iMul could continue to pay
your premium you could do so I'cgardless
(•f where you work—this the State won't
let you do. Second, if you couldn't orV
didn't want to continue paying, iinder otir
noii-forfciture tables you would be entitled to have UH hold your equity which
would be reserve value of the policy, have i
this amoiuit Increased annually at the
guaranteed rate of Interest,
and
at retirement age receive an annuity of a
leHser amount payable at the same rates Vaiid terms as guaranteed in the urigrlnal
contract. Tes, and under that same contract you could • choose an earlier retirement age it you wish and receive a lesser^
amluity appropriate to the age you elect
to-irlirc.
JOHN—That's the arrangement I should
have been offered by the State instead of
just being pushed out with no recognition*'
of m.v nineteen years of service. '
PRANK—Well, John, as you said l)etore, you are out. and here is the final
blow. Your ^l.aoo.oo, M represented by t
a reserve value in a nineteen-year-old contract would purchase iui annuity much
larger than you could buy for that same
St.adO.OO at toda.v B rates. The rates for
male annuities have risen at least
and for females ,'10% in the past nineteen
yi-ars. You would ntinl $1.075.00 cash in
addition to your !?4,300.00 to offset thin
iiKTeaBC.

JOHN—Now T know why this Slate
System has been tinned "incomparable."
Ho far
people In my cirt umstances are
coniei'ned, it doesn't even begin to coni-^
pare with the consideration we could have
received uiuliir any other system.
