The Committee has amended the original Burch Salary Reclassification Bill to provide t h a t compensatory time for service performed on a ho.iday be granted within 30 calendar days Instead of 30 working days. United National Association of Post Office clerks points out t h a t this compensatory time has been denied third class clerks in the bill. It will protest elimination of this feature. 14 Grades of Clerks Another amendment provides t h a t there shall be 14 grades of clerks in all firfet class post offices. This eliminates the 50(),000 restrictron of t h e original bill. Promotion to Grade 12 comes after three years; t o Grade 13 a f t e r seven years, making 15 years in all from Grade 11 to Grade 14. The N a t i o n ^ Federation of Post Office Clerks advocates passage df the bill with the amendments already recommended by the subcommittee, reporting t h a t "it is a much better bill t h a n the original H.R. 2071."

Post Office Issues Instructions on Draft Deferments WASHINGTON—The Post O f fice Department last week issued instructions for the filing of occupational deferments for postal employees. The instructions read: Employees—Ages 30 Through 33 Years (Not known to be Disqualified for General Military Service). The amended regulations of the Selective Service System and t h e Review Committe on Deferment of Gtovemment Employees, War M a n power Commission, established a new age group to embrace r e g - . istrants who are 30 through 33 years old. Effective a t once, a p plications requesting the occupational deferment of postal p e r sonnel now In or as they reach the age group 30 through 33 years will not be filed unless t h e e m ployee has been qualified for limited or disqualified for any military service. Employees—Ages 34 Through 39 Years (Not Known to be Disqualified for General Military Service.) The revised regulations of the Selective Service and the Review Committee also established a new age group to embrace registrants who are 34 through 37 years old. The only change applicable to e m ployees in this age group is t o correct Forms 42 to show the age as 34 instead of 30. Forms 42 will also be used for registrants 18 through 37 years old who have been qualified for limited or disqualified for any military service. When so used, the applicable age should be entered on the form. Can't Cut 300,000 Off Federal Rolls. Say U. S.

Last year, the Parks Department was nice enough to put six park benches on the terrace. With spring in the air, the City employees have thoughts of basking in the sun during lunch hour. But there's one little complication. No one seems to have the job of removing the coal-dust accumulation from the benches; and basking on a heavy layer of coal dust isn't the best way to spend a pleasant half-hour. . . . Lillian Smith, who wrote the best-selling "Strange Fruit,'* has contributed $4,000 to the American Veterans Committee, a World War II organization, to pay for a year's rent. With this windfall, AVC is moving to 554 Madison Avenue. . . . Wfiof Are They Doing To the Firemen? r i - ^ H E New York City Council should kill the DiFalco I bill increasing from 10 to 45 days the penalty which ^ may be meted out to a fireman for a single offense. This bill is psychologically inept and poorly-timed, in addition to its internal defects. There exists between the City administration and the firemen a feud founded on fundamental differences. The Firemen feel that they have been cruelly buffeted by the Mayor and by their commissioner. There was the trouble involving the Mayor's demand that they sign waivers in order to get an emergency bonus. These waivers would have made it impossible for the employees to test their rights in the courts. There was the trouble involving the "exile" of firemen and officers who spoke their minds about conditions In the department; and the imposition of a "gag" rule. There was the trouble involving the fact that firemen put in an 84-hour week, with no recompense for time-off. There was the "name-calling" which the comrnissioner indulged in at the expense of the Firemen, belittling them when they stood up for their rights. There was the trouble involving men fired for holding outside paj't-time jobs. Now, on top of all this, comes the DiFalco bill. The suh rosa reason assigned for the bill is this: If the bill is passed permitting a 45-day penalty, then the men who have been fired for holding outside jobs will be reinstated. But, of course, after they have been reinstated, the enlarged penalty will remain on the books. Why? If an offense is heinous enough for a man to be dropped out of the department, by what manner of reasoning does it become less heinous by the imposition of a 45-day penalty? To us, it seems obvious that there are no two ways about it: If a man commits an offense so awful that he should be dropped from the rolls, you don't bargain—he presumably should be dropped because his continued presence in the department is a detriment to firefighting in New York City. If his offense is not so awful as to require such a drastic penalty, then a 45-day suspension is too heavy a bui'den to impose. The punitive effect of a 45-day penalty can be just as well accomplished by a 10-day penalty (and, for that manner, in many cases by a simple warning). But look what happens: Tf the depaitment doesn't pay a man his salary for a month-and-a-half; and at the same time denies him the privilege of working outside during the period of his suspension—it is creating a condition in which the penalized fireman will have no alternative but to get himself heavily into debt. He can't support himself and his family for 12 months on a salary which he has received only 1012 months. The treatment of Firemen in New York City is already sufficiently drastic, and in some cases even tyrannical. Let's not add to their burdens by the imposition of so hai'sh a measure as that proposed by Councilman DiFalco. * Fred H.

The Goveinor's Commission on State Aid and the report of the Moore Committee will provide the needed funds. Since New York City will now get substantial addi. tional revenue from the Slate, WILL YOU MAKE WAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR SCHOOL EMPLOYEES A FIUST OBLIGATION? Hundreds of teachers have been forced to leave the system because they runnot afford to remain. Hun* dreds have refused uppointmentb, many because the initial salary is too low. Our children and education itself as well as the teachers are viclints. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO MAKE DELAYED WAGE ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE? LONG WE AWAIT YOUR REPLY. Rebecca C. Simonson, President. N. V.
