O'Dwyer's friends say: "When you buy votes or when you pay for deals, you never get your money's worth!" If Burt Turkus is picked by the Republican party for appointment as Kings County District Attorney, the Democrats are planning to run Walter Hart against him in the ensuing election. If you want to become a magistrate under LaGuardia, one sure path is to be an assistant to the commissioner in the Sanitation Department. Three who have travelled this road are Henri Schwob, Edgar Bromberger and Matthew Diserio. Veterans, the Veterans of Forigh War, the Jewish War Veterans and other groups have been unable to have conditions remedied through administrative channels. Want Law to Open Exams One of the principal [points raised was the refusal to let veterans take the second part of an examination, after they had passed the first part. They were in military service, so couldn't show up for the second part,. Now they find that the State Military Law does not require that they be given the tests, since, with a minor excepiton, the law does not opply to candidates, in open-competitive tests, but to promotion examinations. The civil service commissions say they have not sufficient staff to conduct the numerous exams that would be required nor does the present law direct that the tests be give. [See also page 5.] This means that an employee may not leave his public post unless he has received permission from (1) his agency, or (2) the U. S. Civil Service Commission if he is a Federal employee, or (3) the United States Employment Service, if he is a New York City or State employee, or (4) the War Manpower Commission itself. Penalties Provided The employee who leaves his job without permission may not, under the regulations, take another job for 60 days thereafter.. If he does, he and his new employer are subject to penalties. The only way out is to obtain a certificate of availability. The regulations are, however, not absolutely rigid. A release may be obtained for reasons of Supreme Court Justice William C. Hecht dismissed the complaint in the case of NYC firemen seeking overtime pay, holding that their salary was fixed in the budget at $3,000, that the Administrative Code provides that they may be called on for extra tours of duty during emergencies, and that the plaintiffs could point to no statutory obligation requiring the City to pay them extra. health, or if the employee is moving out of the area, or if continued employment will work undue hardship on him and his family. A system of appeals is provided in the event the agency refuses a release to the employee. He is free, in the event of such refusal, to appeal to the United States Employment Service and to the War Manpower Commission, stating his reasons for desiring a statement of availability. There was no indication, Mr. Sheridan said, as to when the preesnt rules will be relaxed. Massachusetts is seeking a new State Commissioner of Public Welfare. The man ostensibly chosen was Patrick Tomkins, an employee of the New York State Department of Social Welfare. But Mr. Tompkins was in the Army.

Watts a Red Cross testimonial for organizing blood donors. Postmaster Albert Goldman was awarded a certificate by the blood donor center of the New York Chapter, American Red Cross, in recognition of his cooperation in organizing Postal employees in the Bronx and Manhattan in a duration-of-the-war program. Each weekday 30 Postal employees donate blood for the armed forces. Since inception of the program in March 1944, Postal employees have donated 8,052 pints of blood, representing new York's largest group contribution. Mrs. Harry Dorsey Watts, Vice chairman of the center's recruiting committee, precented the certificate. He held that the war created emergency conditions, due to manpower shortage, under which Fire Commissioner Walsh had authority to order the overtime work. The suit was brought in the names of two members of the Uniformed Firemen's Association, John P. Crane and John W. Bonifer. Since the commencement of the action Mr. Crane has been elected president of the UFA. The firemen charged that the overtime saved the City $1,250,000 because of the extra work without compensation. Individually, the men demanded $172.80 for overtime from January 1, 1944, when the overtime order went into effect, until April 29, 1944. Had the plaintiffs won, payment for subsequent periods would have been cumulative. Court Cites Nature of Duties I n his opinion Justice Hecht said: "The 'overtime* referred to in the complaint consisted of additional tours of duty required of firemen over and above the normal requirements of the threeplatoon system. " I find no authority to support the plaintiffs' claim that when, in an emergency, they are compelled to work overtime, they are entitled to be paid for such extra work. The very nature of their duties requires them to be in readiness to meet emergencies, and I can see no distinction between an emergency created by an unusually large and widespread conflagration and one created by the potentially dangerous conditions existing in this city from January 1, 1944 to April 29, 1944 because of the war. Whatever adjustments, if any, are made in respect to giving firemen additional time off because of extra service, is a matter of departmental policy." The court quoted section 487a8.0 of the Administrative Code and said. "The fixation of the plaintiffs' salary at $3,000 per annum (in that section) bars them from recovering any additional compensation from the city for any services performed by; them." Justice Hecht said that the provision of the Administrative Code establishing the three-platoon system makes a special exception "in the event of conflagrations, riots or other similar emergencies—in which event such platoons or members thereof shall be continued on duty for such hours as may be necessary,".

Jobs Special to The L E A D E R WASHINGTON, July .24—Appointment of a job boss for the nation by President Truman is visualized if the President's proposed reorganization is adopted by WASHINGTON, July 24.—The Kilgore unemployment compensation bill for U. S. Congress. workers during reconversion, is preferred by officials of Federal employee organizations I t is expected t h a t an all-serv- servicemen, was noted when the over similar legislation introduced in the House by Representative Doughton' chairman ice agency would be created un- House Special Committee on of the House Ways and Means Committee. der the President. Included m i g h t Post-War Economic Policy a n d Union chiefs believe the Kilgore measure offers far greater benefits for Federal workers, placing all under a standard system, including "war duration" employees. A Government worker who lost his job during reconversion would be paid up to 66 per cent of his earnings in a 13-week base period, estimated on the year preceding dismissal. The m a x i m u m payment would be $25 a week for 26 weeks of any calendar year. Means More Money The Doughton bill, however, provides unemployment compensation based on standards of the State in which a Federal worker is employed. Most State unemployment benefits are lower t h a n 66 per cent of a worker's highest weekly pay check. This, of course, would mean less income from compensation for many Government workers. It is proposed under both bills to supplement State money for unemployment benefit with Federal cash to bring payments up to two-thirds of earnings, to the $25 m a x i m u m . States would have the right to reject the plan. Union leaders also object to the Doughton provision that the payments would not go into effect until 600,000 persons in the country were receiving compensation. United Federal Workers of America (CIO) estimates t h a t actual unemployment of 2,000,000 people would have to prevail before any Government employee would get any benefits under the Doughton plan. They contend that the 600,000 would not represent all unemployed, as large groups of workers, including Federal employees, are not covered by compensation and would not be reported as unemployed. The unions state that the Kilgore bill provides transportation for unemployed workers who get jobs in other cities. Union critics claim, however, that both bills fail to meet their demands for transportation home for all released Government workers after the war. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFL) has announced its support of the Kilgore bill, and National Federation of Federal Employees has expressed its approval, adding that passage of the Doughton bill would also be acceptable. The measures were introduced in response to President Truman's request for legislation to ease the shock of Federal unemployment during reconversion. Murray Discusses Coverage I n a letter in response to a ; brief submitted by the C I O , Senator James E. Murray wrote t h a t he is very m u c h interested in proposals for extending social security coverage to Federal Government employees. However, he added: "The Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill does not include provisions for protecting the social security rights of war duration Government employees." I t is his opinion that such protection should be achieved by emergency legislation rather t h a n in connection with "the comprehensive expansion and improvement of the social security program embodied in the WagnerMurray-Dingell Bill." Such emergency legislation is contained in the bill introduced by C h a i r m a n Doughton. He believes that no action will be taken on it until Fall. "This apathetic attitude is extremely dangerous to your chances of getting unemployment insurance when you leave your War-Service j o b " said the C I O . " I f you want such insurance, you must make yourself heard. Write to your Representative once a week. Tell h i m that it is imperative that the House take up and pass this legislation soon." be the Civil Service Commission, the Treasury Procurement Division, the Public Buildings Administration and Budget Bureau. All Federal personnel, procurement, space, planning a n d i m d g e tary work would be concentrated. The head of such an agency would naturally have considerable authority over all other departments a n d agencies.

The Civil Service Commission points out that the regulation is based on the Veterans Preference Act of 1944, and accuses Mr. Rees of "indulging in unjustified a n d unsupported generalizations." 2. Mr. Rees says he will introduce a resolution to insure t h a t veterans with efficiency ratings at Aberdeen, Md., has been in- below "good" will not be disformed: charged before non-veterans with "The authority formerly grant- higher ratings. ed for administrative over-allocation of certain positions, in accordance with previously established policy, has been withdrawn because of the passage of the Federal Employee Pay Act of 1945, which becomes effective 1 July, 1945. " I n view of the fact that your position is one which falls within the group referred to, you are hereby officially notified that effective 13 August, 1945, your grade and basic salary (not including overtime) will be changed from Clerk CAF-2, $1,704 per a n n u m (which rates becomes efftctive 1 July, 1945), to Clerk CAF-1, $1,506 per a n n u m . " According to this, instead of being raised from $1,440 to $1,704, as the act provides, this workers gets a $66 raise to the new rate of $1,506 for CAF-1 employee. The Pay Act says that $300 shall be the m i n i m u m pay raise. War Employees Protest Cut In Pay Under Federal Raise Law Special to The L E A D E R WASHINGTON, July 24—Some 5,000 War Department employees in New York and Philadelphia are protesting action of the War Department in using the new pay raises to revise salary rates downward. Although not covered by the Federal Pay Act, it is charged that they have received substantial cuts in pay through adoption of the measure which gave raises to practically everybody else. Ungraded wage board workers near Washington and in W a r Department establishments on the West Coast were recently, told that their positions h a d been allocated at too high salary rates, but that downgrading would not mean pay cuts in the lower grades, because of the new raises. Story Told to Patterson W a r Department has been advised by protesting workers that its policy of so downgrading thousands of employees is "contrary to the intent of Congress." Undersecretary of W a r Robert P. Patterson was informed by President Eleanor Nelson of United Federal Workers. ( C I O ) that "the wage cuts which the department is proposing would nullify, for hundreds of employees, the effect of the pay raise which Congress has just voted." She added: "The action is clearly contrary to the intent of Congress as expressed in Section 603 of the Pay Act, which provides that all workers in Government service, affected by the bill, shall receive increases of not less t h a n $300 a year." W h a t One Employee Was Told A W a r Department field worker Layoff Plan Stressing Seniority Is Favored By HAL MILLER Special to The L E A D E R WASHINGTON, July 24'—A V-J ment layoffs daily come closer, Federal are seeking revision of Civil Service regulations to give more emphasis to than to efficiency. The reduction-in-force regulations sets up a procedure based on the 1944 Veterans Preference Act to determine which employees are to lie laid off first. Included in the procedure is a point system based on efficiency ratings and length of service, with the employee having most points being the last to leave. Now the regulation gives only Day and governemployee groups reduction-in-force length of service one point for each year of service, but a " G o o d " efficiency rating is worth 80 points, a "Very Good" 88 points, an "Excellent" 96 points. Thus, an employee would have to work eight years to make up for the loss of points if his rating drops from "Excellent" to "Very Good" or from "Very Good" to "Good." Veterans have top preference in each of the three retention groups, covering permanent, war service and limited appointment employees, in that order. An argument for revision of the layoff regulations is that the new Federal Pay Act does favor length of service, by allowing a Governmnet worker to advance to the top of his grade on an efficiency rating of " G o o d " instead of the old requirements of "Very Good" or "Excellent." Planning advocated the creation within the Executive Office of the President of a Construction Policy Board. The Committee believes t h a t the construction industry will be a job-providing mainstay against unemployment after the war. A judicious program of Federal and State public works is proposed to aid the industry. Already the Federal Government has m a n y plans for post-war projects. The board would coordinate various Federal agencies now responsible for public works. It would afford a channel for effective Federal-State cooperation on public works programs. The creation of such a new agency would also provide more white-collar civil service jobs. Post-war Policy Being Formed The committee in a report recognized that Federal financial assistance is necessary, not only for planning of municipal public works, but for actual construction in the event of substantial post-war unemployment. I n addition, Federal responsibility for city redevelopment a n d low-rental public housing is likewise recognized. The committee realizes that any Federal program must of necessity give effect to the views of the cities. For more t h a n a year the Conference of Mayors has faced the possibility of widespread unemployment in the transition period. I n testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last Spring it was stated that the vollume of employment which cities could provide through locally-finaced public works could not be expected to meet a nationwide h i g h level of unemployment.

Here is one letter from The official view of the department is that a good deed was performed by the promotion of 25 Lieutenants to the position of Captain; and that since the Capt a i n quota was filled, the only alternative was to put 25 senior men i n the rank to another position. No list is in existence for the position of Battalion Chief. So, the argument goes, the only alternatives was to give to the Captains the title of Acting Battalion Chief, without an increase in salary. The 25 senior Captains in the various battalions were selected for the new appointments. Several turned down the offers, and men of lesser seniority were selected in their places. "Designated" Not "Promoted" The order n a m i n g the new Acting Battalion Chiefs contained this information: " I n accordance with Certificates No. C-236 and S-310, both dated July 12, 1945, issued by the Director ol" the Budget, the following named Captains are hereby designed Acting Battalion Chiefs, at their present compensation, namely ($4,500) $4,920 per a n n u m . . ."

Now U.S. Citizens, Sanitation Extends Period So 8 Subway Men Of Vacation Will Get Back Pay A controversy as old as the subways under New York City's ownership has come to an end. The question involved: Should the City pay the claims of employees who had been dismissed for non-citizenship, and then re-hired after they had obtained citizenship ? A relatively large number of the subway men h a d been non-citizens when the lines were privately operated. But when the City took over the underground transit facilities, the law required t h a t all the men working h a d to be citizens. Those who did not acquire citizenship were subject to dismissal. The controversy ended victoriously for the men. The Transport Workers Union, which had interested itself in their case, won from the City a determination favoring the men, who will receive amounts varying from $61.47 to $508.72. The victory came when the Comptroller sent a leter to t h e Board of Transportation, requesting that the board prepare payrolls on the claim of the eight men involved. The payments are subject to deductions due the State for unemployment insurance, which several of the claimants collected during the period between dismissal and reinstatement.

Transit Board Employs Bus, Car Conductors The N Y C Board of Transporta tion today announced the appointment of a large group of bus and street car operators. The beard, which has long been desperately undermanned, took the men on a provisional qualifying basis. That is, they h a d to meet the necessary requirements to perform the job. but they will work for the City only until such time as enough manpower is available to hold an examination. Their pay is 80 cents an hour, with a few appointments at 95 cents. The names: KIIH O p e r a t o r s — D o m i n i c A. Devaney, A n t h o n y G . Ferrara. H a r r y P . J e n k i n s .

Key Answers To NYC Subway Women Cleaners Maintainer Test Below are the tentative key Get $60 Raise answers for the written test given About 60 female cleaners in the Department of Public Works will get a $60 increase in pay, bring ing their total to $1,200, as the result of a solution of a department pay problem worked out by Budget Director Thomas J . Patterson. Those benefited h a d been earning $1,140. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFL) originally requested equalization, so that those getting $1,040 were brought up to $1,140. However, t h a t left those who h a d been previously getting $1,140 without any increase. Therefore the $60 was asked, and granted The union local expressed appreciation of the action of the Budget Director, especially as it claims to have made the original request. There was also union acknowledgment of official support from within the department Rindone Case Settled, Without Increment The long court battle, Rindone v. Marsh, in which Welfare Messenger-Attendant Charles Rindone brought legal action for an earlier effective date of appoint ment, has finally been settled. The Corporation Counsel has advised the Municipal Civil Service Commission to correct its records to show Mr. Rindone's correct date of appointment as May 31, 1941, instead of December 16 1941. However, efforts of M r Rindone to obtain earlier Increment dates have been denied by Justice Levy. O n November 17, 1944, at a conference between the Civil Service Commissioners and Robert H Schaffer and Helen Cassidy of the Corporation Counsel staff, it was decided not to appeal the case. As Mr. Rindone has not appealed the Judge's decision on the increment date, the case is now ended. by the N Y C Civil Service Commission on July 6, 1945, for promotion to Signal Maintainer (Group B ) , in the BMT. I R T and I N D divisions of the subway system. Candidates who wish to file protests against these tentative key answers have until July 27 to subm i t their protests in writing, together with the evidence upon which such objections are based, BMT D I V I S I O N 1C, -SC. 3B. 4 A . 5C, <>B, 7 D . 80, 9A IOC, 11 A , 12 A , 13B, 14C, I S A . 18D, 17B, I S A , I D A , SOD.

Gen. H. N. Gilbert announced in Newark, N. J. The assigned goal of $275,000 was passed early. The N Y C Sanitation Department has extended its vacation period until the first week in October. This has been necessary, Sanitation officials explain, because it would have been impossible to perform the job of streetcleaning properly with the available force if too great a number were to go off on vacation at any given time. The average vacation period for Sanitation employees is three weeks. Sanita, the vacation resort set up by Commissioner W i l l i a m F. Carey exclusively for employees of the Sanitation Department and their families, has been running "full u p " this summer. The "pullmanettes," which house Sanita vactioners, accommodate 125 families, with each family numbering four to six people. The average total population of the resort is 1,000 people. A new bakery has been built there this year, and now cakes, pies and rolls are furnished piping hot to the customers. Bread still comes from the outside. The resort also sports its own doughnut-making machine. Tuesday, July 24, 1945 No. 1 Eligible Designed A n d Built Own House Edward J. Schwarz isn't like most men, a total losa around the house. In fact, the missus finds him too handy, because it is often difficult to tear him away from his home tasks so that papa, mamma and the two kids can go out for an airing. Fire Department Holy Name Soc. Honors Scholars The Holy Name Society, Branch 141, of the N Y C Fire Department, has announced the successful winners of scholarships offered semi-annually by the organization. The winners each attained the highest rating in special com-, petitive tests. The scholarship committee holds the tests for relatives of branch members. The winners are entitled to scholarships in various Catholic schools. The successful candidates: Aquinas Hall High School for Girls—Mary Haggerty, daughter of Fireman J o h n M. Haggerty, Hook & Ladder Co. 21. Fordham Prep School for Boys — J a m e s J . Briody, son of retired Battalion Chief Thomas Briody; the son decined the scholarship, having won one to Regis High School and the scholarship will go to the boy in second place, Allen J. Reilly, son of Fireman Thomas W . Reilly, Hook & Ladder Co. 23. Secretarial Course for Girls, Holy Cross Academy—Rosemary Schubert, daughter of Fireman James E. Schubert, Engine Co. 76. Charles A. Wilson is President of the Fire Department Holy Name Society; Joseph L. Melody is chairman of the Scholarship Committee, and the Rev. Joseph A. Doyle is moderator. High Transit Jobs May Be Shifted A proposal to take top transit jobs out of the competitive class of Civil Service and place them in the non-competitive class will be considered by the Municipal Civil Service Commission at a public hearing. As non-competitive positions, the jobs would be filled by the Civil Service Commission through qualifying examinations instead of by competitive tests, according to the Civil Service Law which allows such action where competitive examinations are impracticable. Affected by the proposed change are the posts of Superintendent, Assistant General Superintendent and General Superintendent, in the Board of Transportation. Salary ranges for these jobs are high — Assistant Superintendent, $6,001 to $8,000 a year; Superintendent. $8,001 to $10,000; Assistant General Superintendent, $10,001 to $15,000; General Superintendent, $15,001 and over. The change would apply only to future appointees. Sanitation Employee Wins Valuable Book Sanitation Commissioner William F. Carey will present a much - autographed volume of J o h n Hersey's "A Bell for Adano" to Mr. Ivins Cornelius, of the department's Stores and Budget Unit tomorrow (Wednesday). The book, signed by Frederic March, the actor, and the entire cast ploying in the Broadway version, goes to Mr. Cornelius as a reward for having sold more war bonds in the 7th Loan Drive t h a n any other member of the Sanitation Department. The drive was under the direction of Harry Langdon, Chief Fiscal Officer of the Sanitation Department. Mr. Schwarz is the m a n who distinguished himself the other day by placing first on the citywide promotion list for Maintenance Man. He got 88 per cent, and isn't surprised,| because he's a carpenter by trade, and has been working for the city in that line for 18 years. Designed and Built House There was one occasion when that work for the city was interrupted, for the duration of his vacation plus three months, and t h a t was when he built himself a house. Not only built it, m i n d you, but drew all the plans—just like a regular architect. And the neighbors say that the house does real credit to the Country Club neighborhood of the Bronx where it's located—1290 Lohengrin PI. Mr. Schwarz bought all the material, did all the carpentry, installed the incinerator, framed all the windows, laid all the trim, and supervised the labor on the brick work. His title may be Laborer in the Bronx unit of the Parks Department, but Maintenance M a n will sound more ritzy. However, his pay is $1,920 now. The notice of examination Which triggered the eligible list he now heads said something about "$1,500-$1,800." So Mr. Schwarz, if appointed, could suffer a pay reduction while being honored with a promotion. Cousin of Ann Dvorak Holidays have figured prominently in his life twice. The first time was the very day he was SUITS M E N ' S born—January 1,1902. The second was when he got marriedThanksgiving Day, 1931. He says that all jokes about that second event are off, because, despite the temptation to Fate, everything clicked swell. Mr. Schwarz is a m a n of medium stature, straight-shouldered, frank and friendly. He dosn't do much reading. His bent runs toward making. His hobbies are fishing a n d motion picture photography. The camera may be in the family blood. He is a cousin of A n n Dvorak, the movie actress. He is a member of the Catholic Guild and the Holy Name Society, Mothers 1 Aide Put ?

Not that this is a completely novel business in the lives of Federal employees. Ever since the principle of unemployment compensation was adopted for employees in private industry, the Government's own staff has contended that they, too, deserve equal consideration. As the war against Germany closed, and the imminence of large-scale reduction in the Federal civilian forces became obvious, the impulse for some measure of protection against the chill ghost of joblessness throbbed with deeper insistence. And now, as the United States and her Allies bring Japan to the point of knock-out, the necessity of protecting those men and women who will lose their jobs at war's end begins to pound strongly upon the public consciousness. This much must be said of the Federal "duration employee." He took his job with the Government, stuck to it, suffered its vicissitudes, often at great loss to himself. Had he chosen instead to enter private industry, he might have fared better financially, and upon a slackening of employment would have been entitled to the cushion of unemployment insurance during his personal reconversion period. But as an employee of the United States Government, he finds himself in the paradoxical position of having been penalized during the war period by working at lower pay (and often for longer hours) ; and now, if his job goes a-glimmering, he finds that he is left without any security at all. He's just thrown out upon his own resources, and the Government washes its hands of any responsibility toward him. This seems palpably unfair. We are no farther advanced than we were after the end o-f World War I. when Bernard Baruch personally povided the cash so that the employees in his agency would be able to return to their homes. Whether Federal employees achieve unemployment compensation via a bill directed for them alone, or via a larger bill covering all classes of workers is, in the view of this newspaper, immaterial. The important point is that Federal workers should not suffer as against the social gains awarded to workers in private industry. The Federal employee is subject to the same insecurities, and therefore deserves the same protections. There is now before the Senate a bill introduced by Senator Harley M. Kilgore of West Virginia, and sponsored jointly by Senators Wagner (N. Y.), Murray (Mont.), Thomas (Utah), Guffy (Pa.) and Pepper (Fla.), which lifts all present unemployment benefits and covers Federal employees. The essentials of this bill have the backing of President Truman. It would be wise for Federal employees to get behind it and push. The measure has, among other advantages, the less tangible one of including Federal em ployees generally, as part of the body of working citizens, rather than as a class apart, to be treated differently and often with less regard.

The Manager of Area Office No. 2 of the Veterans Administrations, at 120 Wall Street, NYC, started as a Clerk-Typist at $900 a year with the Federal Government, in 1917, and so fully represents the career m a n in Government service. He is Joseph F. O'Hern. He has a personalized and friendly way of running an office. He insists on simplicity in organization and is a stickler for courtesy and cooperation among his employees. He sees that every one knows his or her job—does the instructing himself, if necessary—and confers responsibility on deserving workers. A W a r Veteran Himself The Area Office is a streamljned production unit designed to give expeditious service to those persons being medically discharged from service. Mr. O'Hern has in his expanding organization 93 employees. Of these 17 are World W a r I I veterans, 7 are wives of World W a r H veterans, 15 are sisters or parents of World W a r I I veterans and one is a widow of a World W a r I I veteran. There are 15 World W a r I veterans on his sta^f. He is such a veteran himself. "The World W a r I I veterans have demonstrated unsual interest in their industriousness, attention to duty and ability to grasp knowledge of all phases of their work," said Mr. OHern. "All veterans and their relatives show added interest in assignments and accomplishments." Runarounds for veterans or anybody else are strictly taboo.

Shoro discusses all and any matters of interest te employees ol the State of New York. Ue is writing this cotumn with complete leewayr to express his own views. Hours and Leaves That Satisfy THE ASSOCIATION has again urged upon the Civil Service Commission to act promptly to establish uniform hours, vacation, sick leave and other rules affecting all State employees so that the inequities of present lack of system under which many divergent personal views and prejudices prevail, may be eradicated in the interest of high morale throuhgout the service. We have pointed out again the wide discrepancy in hours worked as between the institutional and administrative office employees. The year-round present administrative office practice as to hours per day and weeR is generally satisfactory; that in institutional service generally unsatisfactory. Obviously, those institutional office employees classified and paid the same as administrative department employees, should be accorded the same hours of work. If operating conditions make this impossible, then the employees should be paid for the overtime. The subject of religious holidays is one that should be dealt with in a definite manner by the Commission. The Association has suggested what it believes to be the only fair way of handling this matter, namely, to add to the regular annual vacation leave a definite number of days which would be taken by the worker for religious observance, as desired, within the needs of the service. Twenty-Five-Year Retirement THOSE W H O LOOK forward to technological advances stimulating production, see shorter hours and earlier retirement of workers in business and industry as a natural outcome. There is no doubt that we must keep our sights adjusted to all coming economic and industrial developments that may bring adjustments in the public employment field. The prison guards of the State have felt that the character of their duties and the environment in which they work entitles them to retirement after twenty-five years of service. Now they are ready to make a strong stand for such retirement. They find precedent in the twenty-five-year plan now in effect for State Police. They intend to have an actuarial survey made as an aid to convinoing the public and the Legislature of the justice of their plea. The Association, at its last annual meeting, asked liberalization of the State's Retirement System and the twenty-five-year retirement plan was among progressive recommendations of the Retirement Liberalization Committee. The report of this Committee printed in The ^LEADER and The State Employee received widespread attention and was hailed as the most constructive plan of broader social security concepts for public employees that has been suggested since the State Retirement System was established in 1921. There is need for legislative action and the way has been charted. Typically Useful Serince A short time ago, I commented in this column on -the very worthwhile group life insurance which State employees have made possible for themselves through their unity in the Association of State Civil Service Employees. I would like now to call attention to the group plan of accident and sickness insurance available because of the same unity of membership. This plan was developed by the Association insurance committee and established in 1936 by arrangement with the Commercial Casualty' Insurance Company and TerBush and Powell, Inc., Schenectady, N. Y. It was adopted to provide low-cost insurance in case of accident or sickness suffered by members of the Association. Since Its inception, over a million and one-half dollars have been paid in benefits. In many cases the insurance, in addition to its reasonable cost, would not have been purchaseable at all by the individual. The premiums are payable through convenient payroll deduction plan. The details as to obtaining an accident and sickness policy will be sent to any State worker gladly, on application to Association Headquarters. I See also article in this issue.—Ed.] The splendid cooperation of State employees in their Association afford,s a fine example of common sense and a most substantial promise of progressive attention to employee welfare throughout the years. State employees have proven to the world that they know the value of cooperative action of a large and active membership. They have supplemented attention to salaries, hours of work, promotions, health leaves, retirement and the continuous contacts with executive, legislative and administrative departments ol" government essential to such things, with group insurances purely as extra services helpful to State employees. M ^ M M Answers Laivs Passed Shoro, Curry Defend Hospital Workers Against Attack by Dr. J ohn R. Ross Special t o T h e 3 LEADER ALBANY, July 24—Clifford C. Shoro, President of the Association of State Civil Service Employees, and Leo F. Gurry, President of the Association of Employees of the Department of Mental Hygiene, last week strongly defended employees in that department. And it appeared at this writing that the repercussions of their statement would be wide. The joint statement of the two men came as a result of an, attack by Dr. John R. Ross, Superintendent of Poughkeepsie State Hospital, upon employees of the institution. Dr. Ross' statement had been printed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her syndicated column "My Day." Mr. Shoro and Mr. Gurry demanded a n investigation of the charges. Dr. Ross is reported to have said that conscientious objectors who have been working at the hospital had "raised the standards for the care of patients, and that they had been of tremendous help in disclosing certain practices which existed there and about which he never before could get any real evidence." Shoro-Gurry Statement The joint statement of Mr. Shoro and Mr. Gurry follows: "The recent report and the editorial in 'The Poughkeepsie New Yorker' reveals a most amazing attack by Dr. Ross upon the character and efficiency of the workers at Hudson River State Hospital. Apparently Dr. Ross has indicted the personnel at his hospital on the statements made to him by conscientious objectors imported into the State after they had refused to serve their nation ir its war efforts, "Employees at Hudson River State Hospital, as at the other hospitals of the State, have been doing one of the most splendid jobs in the whole history of the hospital service. Greatly undermanned, the 20,000 hospital employees in the Mental Hygiene institutions have been carrying the burden of hospital care for thousands of mentally ill,—and working long hours to do it. The unsupported word of conscientious objectors or other outside critics of the institution should not be accepted to discredit either the care New York State gives to its wards nor as an unchallenged indictment of New York State Civil Service employes, when the facts can and should be ascertained by Dr. Ross in the proper way through sound personnel administration within his hospital. objectors, Mrs. Roosevelt went on to say: "The superintendent of the hospital <Dr. Ross) told me that they had undoubtedly raised the standards for the care of the patients, and that they had been of tremendous help in disclosing certain practices which existed there and about which he never before could get any real evidence. "He said that if they could stay longer they probably would improve the standards even more." Newspaper Indictment Commenting on this the Poughkeepsie paper (The New Yorker) said: "Few more serious indictments against state care of the insane have been levelled than that of Mrs. Roosevelt in her syndicated column in the Poughkeepsie New Yorker." The editorial went on to say that "the public cannot help but draw the conclusion th.it Dr .Ross had believed misuse of patients had existed for some time but had not corrected conditions because We Crave Investigation he had been unable to obtain "Employees of Hudson River evidence against the paid emState Hospital do not fear any ployees." honest investigation as to the efficiency of their work.

The Association has for several years sponsored a bill recording this wage formula. And feelings among Association leaders queried by this reporter are that the principle is still sound, and must again be brought before the Legislature. Basically, the formula is this: that the State pay salaries based bear upon the long-time wage on real wages rather than money problem. Again to quote Dr. Tolwages. As explained by Dr. Frank man: L.

Under this formula, the State would have to increase base salary (not including bonus) about 30 percent for the employee to earn the same rate as formerly. Nothing to Do With— All this, the Association adds, has nothing to do with the question of a fair minimum wage of $1,500, determined by the State Labor Department as the minimum essential to health and a reasonable social life. It has nothing to do with overtime rates —the Association seeks time-£ nda-half—or extra compensation for hazardous jobs. It is concerned only with protecting the employee against the vicissitudes of cost-ofliving fluctuations, with making his dollar worth a dollar. Public Works Dept. Sets Up Safety Bureau ALBANY, July 24—A new bureau, probably the first of its kind in the country, is being set up in State Public Works Department to work exclusively in the interests of highway safety. One of the features of this new bureau will be to safeguard the roads as a protection to motorists against highway defects which might result in accidents. Another will be to keep highway repair forces on their toes. Vosburgh Heads Bureau S.T. (Tom) Vosburgh, of Rensselaer, since 1936 the chief investigator of the claims bureau in the State Law Department, has been named by Public Works Commissioner Charles Sells to head the new bureau.

NEWS Sayre as OP A Director Of Personnel Injects Life into Promotions Wif bin-Grade Increases, Personnel Ceiling and Pay Period in U.S. Law [The first two instalments were published in the July of the article analyzing the Federal 10 and 17 issues. The final instalment Bv C H A R L E S Employees Pay Act of 1945 appears this week.—Editor.] By H. J . B E R N A R D Member of the Federal Bar WASHINGTON, July 24—Many of Wallace S. Sayre's friends in NYC and Long Island must be wondering what he has been doing since he was a Municipal Civil Service Commissioner in NYC. The answer is he has been doing right well by the United States Government. He is responsible for all OPA personnel in the U. S. and territories, is a member of the OPA management staff and thus has a hand in budget, planning, management of boards and administration. That's all. v AVING discussed (a), coverage and inclusion and (b), pay changes, including base pay, overtime, night differential and holiday pay, there now remain for consideration within-grade increases, pay periods and personnel ceilings. The within-grade increases are speeded up under the act, and a rating of "good" is declared sufficient for gaining this step-up promotion, but many of the considerations are covered by rules and regulations of the United States Civil Service Commission and by administrative practice. This article deals with the provisions oC the new law, but embodies some of the administrative procedure. H IV. Within-Graile Advancement The service periods required for attaining the next higher rate within grade are reduced to 12 months, from 18. if the increments are le?s t h a n $200, and to 18 months from 20, if the increments are $200 or more. Limitations are: if equivalent increase was received meanwhile, except rewards for superior accomplishment; current efficiency rating must be "good" or better, and the department head must certify to service and co^uct otherwise satisfactory. . July 1 began the first pay period to which the reduced service length applies. Those who left Federal positions of any kind for service with the Armed Forces or the Merchant Marine, if honorably discharged, or otherwise entitled by legal permission to reinstatement, shall be entitled to the advancements without efficiency rating or certificate of otherwise satisfactory service. This advantage also accrues to those who complied with war transfer regulations, but, by interpretation, not to those who transferred without such full compliance. Employees otherwise entitled to reinstatement to a permanent position in the scope of the 1923 Classification Act are not precluded from within-grade advancement by any of the terms of the & new law. Methods and Definition The commission's regulations provide that in any change of efficiency rating, eligibility for salary advancement shall be based on the revised rating, and become retroactive to the date the employee would have received the increase had no rating error been made. The within-grade salary advancements apply to all officers and employees other than those designated by law as temporary or established for definite periods of one year or less. Positions to which appointments are made under the W a r Service Regulations for the duration of the war and six months thereafter are permanent positions by definition. Within-grade advancements naturally apply only to those in the graded service, i.e., to employees subject to the Classification Act. The positions thus meant are those in the departmental and field service, in the executive, legislative and judicial branches, in Government - owned- or Govern ment-controlled corporations, and in the municipal government of the District of Columbia, whether the compensation for such municipal employees was fixed under the Classification Act or by executive action in accordance with the compensation schedules of that act. Equivalent Increase "Equivalent increase in compensation" means any increase or increases in basic compensation which in total, at the time such increase or increases are made, are equal to or greater t h a n the compensation increment in the THEY A L L SPEAK WEIL OF IT A Knott John i . Hotel HyUnrf. Manager Garage and flarkfpg Lai .Adjacent lowest grade in which the employee has served during the period (12 or 18 months). The following are not "equivalent increases in compensation": One— Basic pay rate increases under the F.E.P. Act of 1945. Two— Rewards for superior accomplishment, as set forth in the same act. Three—Increases as the result of a new m i n i m u m rate for any class of positions to correct gross inequalities, by moving an employee up the pay scale, but not beyond the middle of pay of the grade in which he is. The fourth rate of a six-rate grade shall be considered the middle of that grade. Action by the commission in these cases shall apply both to the departmental and field services and shall have the force and effect of law. These adjustments of inequalities are distinguished from the periodic within-grade adjustments (increments) for which the waiting period has been reduced. While the commission is to act on the cases of inequality, and report annually to Congress, the commission may delegate to the head of any department or agency, or to his designated representative, the authority to approve additional within-grade compensations for superior accomplishments, within the limit of available appropriations. The commission is to report these increases to Congress annually, also. V. Pay work weeks. The 26 pay periods a year under the new law contrast with prior practice of two pay periods a month, 24 a year. I f a pay period begins in one year a n d ends in another, the gross amount is to be a charge against the appropriation existing at the end of the pay period. Actually, almost all agencies and departments converted to the new pay period beginning with the J u l y 1 period (checks received third week in J u l y ) . Conversions of pay are as follows: multiply a monthly rate by 12 to obtain the a n n u a l rate; the weekly rate by 2080 to obtain the hourly rate; multiply the the houruly rate; multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per day to obtain the daily rate. Periods Beginning not later t h a n October 1, 1945, each pay period for all officers and employees of the several departments and independent establishments and agencies in the executive branch, including Government-owned or controlled corporations, and the District of Columbia municipal government, except officers and employees on the Isthmus of P a n a m a in t«he service of the P a n a m a Canal or the P a n a m a Railroad Company, shall cover two administrative Mr. Sayre has his hands full staffing OPA's 92 district offices, 400 area cental offices, 5,000 local boards and four territorial offices with 55,000 paid employees, not including volunteers and panel workers. VI. Personnel Ceilings A provision in the pa# bill that received very little public attention was one that called upon the departments, agencies, etc, in the executive branch to terminate the employment of such employees as are not required for the proper and efficient performance of the functions of these Government subdivisions. The department heads must report to the Director of the Budget, at least quarterly, the number of full-time civilian employees, including dollar-a-year men, required by them within the United States for proper discharge of the duties of these departments and agencies. The number of necessary employees must be reported within sixty days of July 1, 1945 and "any personnel. . in excess thereof shall be released . . at such times as the Director shall order." Periodic reports are required of the department and agency heads. Section 607, stating the economy policy, is entitled "Personnel Ceilings." Questions Answered On New U. 5. Pay Law Raise and Increment Add Up D O E S THE fact that my basic compensation was raised under the new Pay Act preclude the receipt of in-grade promotion (in my case $100) because of the raise constitutes an equivalent increase?—J. V. O. No. The basic rates of compensation under section 13 of the Classification Act of 1923, as amended by section 405 of the Federal Employees Pay Act of 1945, were set forth in a table published on page 10 of last week's issue of The L E A D E R (July 17). For purposes of comparison the old rates were listed immediately below the revised rates. The Act provides that the increase in existing rates of basic compensation provided by section 405 shall not be construed to be an "equivalent increase" in compensation within the meaning of the within-grade salary advance plan provided by section 7 of the Classification Act of 1923, as amended. Other Employees Raised A L T H O U G H the 1945 law gives raises to employees subject to the Classification Act, what other employees are included under other statutes that give them a raise, too?-_E. G . Under section 602 (b) of the Federal Employees Act of 1945 basic rates of compensation specifically prescribed by statute other t h a n the Classification Act of 1923, as amended, for positions in the executive branch of the Federal Government or the District of Columbia are increased in the same manner as basic rates under the Classification Act, are SULLIVAN Special to The L E A D E R increased by section 405 of the 1945 Act. I n other words, each of the existing basic rates of compensation specifically prescribed by statute is increased to form a new basic rate by the following method: Add to each such rate 20 per cent of that part thereof which is not in excess of $1,200 a year. To this sum, add 10 per cent of that part of the existing basic rate which is in excess of $1,200 a year but not in excess of $4,600 a year. Tp this sum, add 5 per cent of that part of the existing basic rate which is in excess of $4,600 a year. Protection for the Low-Paid PLEASE explain the saving clause in the new law to protect low-paid employees from suffering a pay cut.—J. O. Sec. 603 (a) pertains to certain employee groups in the lowersalary brackets, if they work full time and received basic compensation of $1,800 or less. The protection ceases whenever the employee no longer occupies the position he occupied on J u n e 30, 1945. Thus, a separation from his June 30, 1945, position, or a transfer or promotion to a different position or agency, or a reassignment to a position of different duties and responsibilitees, makes the saving provision inapplicable. Also a permanent increase in the employee's basic rate, such as a periodic withingrade salary advancement, will take the employee outside the purview of section 603 (a). The amounts that will be payable under section 603 (a) will range from $6 to $60 a year. The mini- He has given careful implementation to the government's merit promotion program. Unlike N Y C promotion it does not involve competitive examination. Anyone who has done work over and above the requirements of his job is eligible for merit promotion. He has set up a committee to judge the merits of all cases. Mr. Sayre, a Ph.D. formerly on the faculty of New York University, first served the OPA as an Assistant Director of Fuel Rationing, both gasoline and fuel oil. For the last year and a half he has been Director of Personnel. His big job is recruitment for offices all over the country. The professional staff, which includes about 1,500 in Washington and some 10,600 in the field, represents practically every phase of American industry. A Word About the Future " W e had to develop a team of businessmen, lawyers and economists," Mr. Sayre said. " I t required all three types to WALLACE S. SAYRE develop price administration, because it involves business, legal and economic knowledge, and there were no such things as price or rationing experts as we know them now." Mr. Sayre's biggest headache is to retain his staff, because m a n y are needed back in industry. OPA's work will not diminish until after V-J Day, he said. Asked about the future of his employees, Mr. Sayre said it all depended on what the Government planned to do. Doubtless m a n y employees would find permanent places in government, but the majority would likely return to the professions and industry, * he believed. Mr. Sayre has native good humor. likes hard work and enjoys his burdensome job in the manner that the photograph suggests. Burns Hails Promotions Under New Pay Act Special to The LEADER WASHINGTON, July 24—James B.

Union Men See Need To Recodify C. S. Law A preliminary conference of municipal locals on legislative proposals to be submitted to the regional conference of the State Federation of Labor (AFL) will be held on August 4 and 5 at the Hotel Commodore, NYC, from 1 to 5 p.m. each day. James D u g a n of the N Y C Department of Sanitation, head of Council 30, will preside. The regional conference will be held in three parts, ot minimize transportation: Buffalo, Aug. 13, Hotel Statler; Syracuse, Aug. 15, Hotel Syracuse, and NYC, Aug. 17, Hotel Commodore. The meetings on each day will be from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:30 to 5 p.m. The regional conference in N Y C will be attended by representatives of locals of that city and of Auburn, Poughkeepsie, Niagara Falls, Schenectady, Buffalo, Kingston, Elmira, Little Falls, Newburgh, Albany, Troy, B i n g h a m t o n a n d 'Saratoga Springs. All are municipal employees. One proposal to be submitted to the State Federation is that a State commission be recommended, to recodify the civil service law end include such amendments as would simplify and clarify it. The union pointed out that there hasn't been a recodification in many years. A study of the civil service legislative record at the last session has just been completed on behalf of the union. Note was also made of the record number of civil service law suits in this State. This was ascribed to the many precedents established, a tribute to the pri- Page Eleven CIVIL SERVICE LEADER Tuesday, July 24, 1945 macy of this State in civil service safeguards; the lack of correlation of the various laws affecting civil service; the greater alertness of employees of the State and its subdivisions, and the large number of State and City employees within the State, second only to t h a t working in the whole Federal government.

The answer this reporter made was: "Processing is all right, but it means much more t h a n sitting down with a veteran, letting h i m tell the interviewer what he desires, and then putting all that down on a special form. I t means m u c h more than helping h i m to make out a form for schooling oxclaim for pension. I t means really proving of service to him, and not m a k i n g h i m come back time in a n d ' o u t .

Bill Bars Pay Cuts In Building Trades Special to The L E A D E R W A S H I N G T O N . July 24—Federal building trades workers and other hourly workers not under the Classification Act are protected from pay cuts under a bill introduced by Senator Langer (Rep., N. Dak.). The measure would save them from loss of salary when the Government's reduced 40-hour work week goes into effect. I t provides that such workers continue to be paid on the basis of a 48-hour week with actual working hours to be cut to 40 as soon as conditions permit. Senator Langer said that if hourly workers are paid on the basis of a 40-hour week their salary would be the same as it Was in 1925.
