S. Civil Service WASHINGTON — T h e .U, S. Civil Service Commission has cracked down on government agencies with iregard to using Selective Service records for finding put the physical condition of •'Employees or prospective employees. It is known that '^elective Service Headquariters had long frowned on the / policy of investigators' using Idata from its files. Investigators from the Commis- sion and other agencies h a d previously had access to these records. They used them extensively, but there were numerous complaints t h a t the Information gained was misconstrued and used unjustly to fire persons and keep others f r o m getting jobs. Now Confidential The order prohibiting the use of these records stated that the Selective Service records will f r o m now on be strictly confidential and it pointed out t h a t physical examinations made in accordance with the Selective Training and Serv- ice Act are concerned with fitness for military duty and not with fitness for civilian employment. I n concurring with Selective Service in this matter, U. S. Civil Service Commission issued t h e following in a circular to other agencies: "The Commission is also of the opinion t h a t it would not be justifiable t o require employees or prospective employees to furnish such statements on t h e ground t h a t they would be a means of revealing evidence of communicable disease. The laws of the various Permanent NYC Bonus Pay Plan Wins Support The question of putting jKhe cost-of-living bonus of '4 New York City employees on a permanent basis is due for action when hearings begin on the 1945-46 budget before the board of Estimate. To date, two members of the Board of Estimate—which has the power to revise budget items upwards—^have indicated their support behind the move to grant a permanent increase to the City employees. In his budget message. Borough President Edgar J. Nathan, Jr., of M a n h a t t a n said: "In my opinion living conditions today require t h a t the temporary cost-of-hving bonus previously granted should be made a permanent increase. This would not increase the budget, as the amount of the bonus is now included. I t would, however, add slightly to t h e pension contribution required by the City." I n addition. President N a t h a n suggested a $60 a year increase to states provide for the reporting of communicable diseases to State health officers, and it has been the practice of examining physicians who are performing examinations in connection with the Selective Training and Service Act to bring to the attention of the appropriate civil authority any instances of communicable disease which they may find. Any necessary followup will be made by the health authorities to see that such conditions are suitably cared for." The Order Departmental Circular No. 513 Subject: Caution as to Use of Selective Service Records as a Source of Information Concerning 4 - F Classification of Employees or Prospective Employees To Heads of Departments and I n " dependent Establishments: The interest manifested by Fed- all City employees except: 1. Exempt employees; 2. those who received individual increases during 1944-5; 3. those covered by the mandatory increment law; 4. civil engineers, who would receive a new salary minimum of $4,260, which was promised them by the Board of Estimate in 1938, but never paid. Police, Fire, Education and Transportation workers would also be excluded from the $60 raise. Burke Goes Ahead However, Borough President James A. Burke of Queens, went right ahead and put his employees on a permanent increase basis, instead of a temporary bonus. By the simple expedient of eliminating the brackets in the code eral agencies in the health of their employees is a progressive step which will help the Federal service match the efforts of private industry in protecting t h e health of its employees. I n such a program, thei^Commission appreciates the desirability of securing an accurate appraisal of a n employee's, or prospective employee's, physical capacities or limitations. However, it is desired to offer a word of caution as to the source of such infca-mation. It has been suggested t h a t a n accurate summary of the physical condition of an employee or applicant who has been classified in 4-F could be obtained by requesting the individual to furnish a statement from his local board giving the reasons for the 4 - P classification. The Commission (Continued on Page 11) lines in his departmental budget, he made the raises permanent. For example the salary line of a $1,200 a year clerk, receiving a bonus of $120 reads: "$1,200 ($1,320)." The departmental budget for 1945-6 list him at $1,320, but it is expected t h a t the proposal will meet with considerable opposition from the real estate a n d taxpayer groups at public h e a r ings; and from the City administration. Public AdirjsnisfraHon Page 10 FULL TEXT OF BILL RAISING PAY OF STATE EMPLOYEES ALBANY — The Adminisllratien last week made pubUc the text of its bill to inerease the pay of more than 10,000 State employees. Carrying out the promise ^ h i c h Governor Dewey had made in his first message to the Legislature this session, the bill provides raises in pay for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1945, and ending March 31, 1946. r I n essence, the bill provides: 90% increase to all employees earning $1,500 a year or less. n V n % to all employees earning between $1,500 and $2,000. 15% increase to all employees earning between $2,000 antt $3,000. 12Vj% increase to all employees earning between $3,000 and $4,000. 10% increase to all employees earning over $4,000. There are certain restrictions as t o the top limits in each of the»e categories. Governor Dewey said t h a t the minimum salary of any full time State employee, with the war bonus, would be $1,440 a year. T h e bill, one of the most important affecting State employees, is printed below in full. It should be read carefully.

Scene on the Seine Verbal Prima-Donnas In Government T "^HE OPA has on its payroll a "word-psychologist" whose sole job is to take the long, involved, legalistic regulations and re-word them so that they can be understood by anybody. Seems to us this is money wellspent, and all agencies might profit from the services of a word-simplifier on the staff. The complaints against "gobbledygook" language in government communications have been widely applauded, but there is still much to be done. We think that civil-service job-announcements, for example, can be further simplified. Sentences ought to be limited in wordage. A single thought for a sentence is enough. Pride of authorship doesn't belong in such material. ^ A Navy Department laborer has just brought to our attention a letter from the General Accounting Office in answer to a question about extra pay for night work. We couldn't understand it. We read it off to a noted civil service attorney. He couldn't understand it, either. The letter is couched in obtruse technical terminology which we doubt the official who wrote it could understand. We never have cared much for the big-word complex which afficts so many in public service. Their stuff could never get by a newspaper copydesk. W6'd like to see somebody make a beginning at simplifying civil service terms. Let's banish words like "promulgation," "certification," "provisional" and substitute more meaningful terms. In the meantime, it would be most desirable if all those government workers who write communications for the general public remember that verbal prima.-donnas are not performing a laudable service. General Bradley's Column By Brigadier General John J. Bradley (Ret.) The Political Picture Surrounding The Yet Preference Bills in Albany Backed by t h e public approval of Governor Dewey, the Downey-Sherman veteran preference amendment to t h e Constitution [formerly t h e Hampton-Devany bill—Ed.l, which gives all veterans first claim on all local and civil service jobs for which they compete by examination, seems likely a t this point to win through the Legislature. If it does, approval of the people at t h e polls this fall is probable. However, the 23 organizations which have sponsored a n alternate bill [see page 7—Ed.] haven't given up by any means, and they [still have plenty of ammunition under their belts. Veteran preference was recommended in Govjernor Dewey's 12-point veteran program by t h e ' s t a t e Veterans Commission in these words: "The Commission believes and recommends [that preference be granted to veterans in public employment in the State.

The answer to t h i s question depends on t h e t y p e of a p p o i n t m e n t a n d o n t h e t y p e of leave to which you refer. T h e r e Is n o one kind of so-called " d u r a t i o n " a p p o i n t m e n t or leave. T h e t e r m " d u r a t i o n " h a s been loosely used to cover a t least three d i f f e r e n t kinds of leaves a n d a p p o i n t m e n t s . None of t h e s e was in existence b e f o r e World W a r I I s t a r t e d in Europe. All a r e directly a t t r i b u t a b l e to w a r - t i m e conditions. A discussion of these leaves a n d a p p o i n t m e n t s a n d a n e x p l a n a t i o n of t h e i r purposes should h e l p to distinguish t h e m . MiHiary Leaves a n d A p p o i n t m e n t s Let us f i r s t consider t h e milit a r y leave of absence. T h i s is g r a n t e d by law. a n d not a t t h e discretion of t h e a p p o i n t i n g o f f i cer, to a S t a t e employee w h o e n t e r s t h e a r m e d forces of t h e U n i t e d States, engages in m e r c h a n t m a r i n e service as described in t h e New York Military Law o r p e r f o r m s service with t h e A m e r ican R e d Cross while with t h e a r m e d forces of t h e United S t a t e s on foreign service. S u c h leave of absence is not really a w a r d m a tion leave. I t m a y t e r m i n a t e bef o r e t h e e n d of t h e w a r or it m a y c o n t i n u e f o r a long period a f t e r the t e r m i n a t i o n of t h e war. Strictly speaking, t h i s type of leave is a m i l i t a r y leave of absence. T h e vacancy caused by a n e m ployee going a w a y on a military leave is filled by m a k i n g a s u b s t i t u t e a p p o i n t m e n t . T h e substit u t e a p p o i n t m e n t , like t h e m i l i t a r y leave, is not given for t h e d u r a tion. Not only m a y a s u b s t i t u t e a p p o i n t m e n t be t e r m i n a t e d a t a n y t i m e ' i n t h e discretion of t h e a p pointing officer, b u t even if not so t e r m i n a t e d , it «nn c o n t i n u e only so long a s t h e m i l i t a r y leave of t h e f o r m e r i n c u m b e n t continues. If t h e employee on leave should r e t u r n b e f o r e t h e e n d of t h e war, the substitute appointment termin a t e s before t h e e n d o f ' t h e w a r . If h e retiums a f t e r t h e e n d of t h e war. t h e s u b s t i t u t e a p p o i n t m e n t m a y c o n t i n u e beyond t h e e n d of t h e war. I t is not Hmited t o t h e "duration." The substitute app o i n t m e n t is m a d e i m d e r t h e S t a t e ' s R u l e vni-12.

In other words, without t h e consent a n d even a g a i n s t t h e expressed wishes of his own a p p o i n t i n g ofticer, a n employee in one d e p a r t m e n t m u s t be given a leave of absence if h e accepts a s u b s t i t u t e a p p o i n t m e n t in a n o t h e r d e p a r t m e n t .
