WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—Barfing upsets, the bill to raise the
pay of U. S. employees will go
before the Senate for action this
week.
Senator Sheridan Downey. (D.,
Cal.), its principal sponsor, has
sent a personal letter to every Senator, asking prompt action.
It is still almost impossible to
forecast what action the Senate
will take on the pay bill.
The measure would grant a 20
per cent pay raise to white collar
government workers and a 10 per
cent boost to employees of Congress. That Congress will approve
some increase is considered a foregone conclusion. But how much
land when are moot questions.
A group headed by Senator
Harry F. Byrd (D., Va.) is strenuously opposing passage of the pay
bill at this time. Senator Byrd is
'demanding that the measure be
returned to the Civil Service Committee for further hearings. And
several other influential Senators
biave come out flatly against the
Mil.
Downey's Letter
Senator Downey in his letter to
his colleagues said:
"It is my profound hope that
you will find it possible to participate in a consideration of the
y ^ e r a l pay bill which, with certain amendments, I will present to
the Senate at the earliest opportunity. The bill as reported from
the Senate Civil Service Committee provides for an increase of 20
per cent for salaried workers in

The Municipal Civil Service today informed The
LEADER that the advertisement for the open-competitive examination for Patrolman (P.D.) had been approved
by the Budget Bureau. Mayor LaGuardia had instructed
Budget Director Thomas J. Patterson to rush approval of
the printing of the examination notice. Mayor-elect
O'Dwyer is said to be in agreement. Age limits are 20-29.
It is expected that applications, vi^ill be opened within
a week.

Although the Patrolman (P.D.)
examination has been approved by
Mayor LaGuardia, the examination for Fireman (F.D.) is being
held up. The Mayor discussed
both examinations with Budget
Director Thomas J. Patterson.
Funds with which to pay new appointees were discussed.
It has been known for a long
time that the Fire Department
budget is unusually tigiit, but

easing the maximum age limit

To Respond to Polls
The importance of participating
In the organization's polls is
itressed to members of the NYC
tJniformed Fire Officers Association in a message from the Executive Board. T h e memo to UFOA
members, which also urged 100
per cent voting in the organiza>n's election, pointed out how
Jliu-e of part of the officers to
)te In a poll on working hours
misled the Executive Board to a
wrong conclusion.
Following Is the text of the
message to UFOA members:
"The second annual election to
t h e Executive Board of the UFOA
J1 be held on J a n u a r y 1. Oneof the Board; one Chief,
le Captain and one Lieutenant
Nil take office. At t h a t time, iin
accordance with the Constitution
md By-Laws, a President, VicePresident and Treasurer will be
elected from among the members
the 1946 Executive Board.
"The annual election is one of
democratic methods t h a t the
sociation instituted in order to
iaintain member interest. An
association in order to become and
stay strong must keep its members fully informed, continually
encourage them to take part in
t h e various activities and in the
making of vital decisions.

id requests every member to
vote and return his ballot. This
cooperation is necessary and important. Recently many members
neglected to return ballots on the
vote for the Elimination System.
.The result was t h a t the Executive

"Individual post card ballots
were sent to the 500 Officers who
were working or about to s t a r t
working the 8-hour day; these
Officers were asked to signify
whether or not they would be
willing to temporarily work the 67
hour week. 234 ballots were returned; 48 were negative and 186
agreed to work the Elimination
System; this ratio was about 4
to 1 in the affirmative. The Executive Board cannot tabulate u n cast ballots and therefore was justified in believing t h a t these results were representative of the
total 500 ballots.
"Unfortunately this was not
true, because Commissioner Walsh,
through departmental channels,
by use of statistics on company
reports, repolled the same 500 Officers with the same question and
the Commissioner's repoll showed
a negative return of 327 and 187
in the affirmative. The only conclusion left to draw is t h a t practically every Officer t h a t tlld not
return his UFOA individual post
card ballot was a negative vote.
How an Officer desires to vote is
properly his own prerogative, but
the very least an interested TIFOA
member should do is to express
his opinion in order to give his
Executive Board the same opportunity to learn the facts as they
did later on for Commissioner
Walsh.
"Show your interest, make your
choice and vote, then mail the
self-addressed stamped envelope,
and the Honest Ballot Association
will do all the remainder of t h e
work.
"Make certain t h a t your ballot
is mailed no later t h a n Decetntoer

ALBANY, Dec. 4 — T h e legal
battle of NYC Firemen against the
Department's "gag rule" was
argued in the Court of Appeals
when David A. Savage, Uniformed
Firemen's Association attorney,
attacked the regulation imposed
by Commissioner Walsh as unconstitutional.
The court fight h a d been instituted in the name of Fireman
John P. Crane, now UFA president, who had been "exiled" to
Staten Island for speaking publicly against the imposition of
longer working hours in the
Department.

To be held up at the point of a

what the giuunan took is double
trouble.
I R T Railroad Clerk J o h n Walsh
was alone in his booth at 145th
St. and Broadway one night, getting ready to leave, when a gun
was stuck in his ribs Mid his receipts of $75.80 were whisked
away. I R T Transportation Assistant Superintendent Edward Curr a n ordered Walsh to make good
the loss, charging t h a t he h a d
violated certain company rules.
Walsh brought his problwn t o
the Transport Workers' Union who
took the matter up with Curran
and Deputy Ccwnmissioner Edward
Maguire. As a result of the imion's
action, Walsh was not required to
pay up and the loss was settled
as a robbery claim.
General increases for employees

U. S. PHANTOM AID TO YETS
STILL CAUSING HEARTBREAKS
^ H E number of veterans seeking Federal jobs keeps
*
gaining apace with the increase of the number of
men and women discharged from the armed forces. The
U. S. Civil Service Commission's generosity in handing out
application blanks to veterans,^ largely for non-existent
jobs, keeps generating more and more heartbreaks.
Examinations may be reopened for veterans, in some
instances only for disabled veterans, and while the gesture
was no doubt sincere at the start, experience has so
thoroughly proved the folly of continuing the turmoil that
it is surprising that the Commission does not call a halt.
It can do so now with far better grace than in the future.
Veterans will become irreconcilably embittered against
the Commission that causes them so much disappointment
and anguish.
No service is rendered to a veteran who is made to
stand on line for application blanks, encouraged to fill
them out and to file the applications, only to find out that
no job exists. The correlation of application with job
existence is an overpowering necessity. The very least that
the Commission should do is to restrict applications to
those titles which give promise of job opportunities. Why
it does nothing to rectify a situation that is fast becoming
notorious is very difficult to understand.
EXPERIENCE CREDIT OVERDONE
IN ONE NYC EXAM
J. MOORE
"The iH'ofessi<mal level in public jobs bias risen considerably
in the past 10 years," said Assista n t District Attorney J o h n D. J.
Moore. "For instance, legal work
in public office can compete with
t h a t in private practice."
Mr. Moore instanced a n u m ber of lawyers in public jobs who
have been appointed to responsible
positions in private law lirms» or
who have gone into successful
practice for themselves.
As for opportunities for lawyers
and other professional workers in
public employ, compared to private industry, he would not commit himself, but left the impression t h a t , l a one
field
or
another, it is up to t h e employee,
by skill and industry, to create
his own (H)portunities, rather t h a n
t o rely on some predetermined
condition.
G o t BUSY EM-IIT
What h a s struck close observers of Cjtovernor Dewey's tactics is
hia present conscious effort to
eradicate what even his friends
consider his4t>iggest shortcoming—
lack of a free a n d easy ability to
mix with people. Some say t h a t a

political sense, and are glad to

trips about t h e State. He used to
read everything—but good!
Those trips are growing longer,
more frequent and more important. A recent one yanked Jaeckle,
Buffalo leader, back into t h e
Dewey fold. But the Governor h a d

bring him back as he went out
of his way to give Jaeckle t h e
go-by in the last Presidential
campaign.
If Senator Mead is the Demof

now seems increasingly likely, t h t
candidate to fill Mead's Senatorinl
seat will have to be a died-in-th«*

HE examination for Borough Superintendent (Dep^rt_
ment of Housing and Buildings) was voided by
the Court of Appeals a few years ago because of an
accurate prediction by the President of the NYC Civil
Service Commission, then Paul J. Kern, as to who would
be on the eligible list, although the oral examination had
not been completed. Certainly the candidates had nothing
to do with that. The voiding of the examination was
wholly without fault of the candidates or eligibles.
Now that the examination is to be held again, the
NYC Commission, under the leadership of Harry W.
Marsh, evidently wants tobe very fair to those appointed
from the original list who may be candidates again, so
grants them experience credit from the date of their
appointment to the date of the voiding of the examination
by the Court of Appeals.
It is quite possible that the attempt to be very fair
may lead to results far different from any that the Commission has in mind, because the voiding, in legal effect,
goes back to the very inception of the examination. Therefore the appointees were, in very likely legal effect, provisionals from the date of their appointment, and no more
experience credit can be given to them than to any other
provisionals. The present doubt, fortunately, will relate
only to those appointed from both lists, and will not affect
the whole new list, but the invitation to trouble in an
already overtroubled examination should be withdrawn.

Merits ond Demerits of the Merit System
OPINION REGARDINO the merit system is sharply differentiated
Into several groups. There are those who see no faults in Its operation. To these, principles are everything and patent facts have
little value. The critics, on the other hand, see the merit system
as protected security for the few. The ins have tenure, security, f a t
salaries. They get away with murder or with lesser crimes and work
Is the last thing they do. The outs have no equal chance to serve
the people, to eat at the public's expense.
The third and largest group look on Civil Service as a useful
government device, with its good and its bad points. They see it as
a very hiunan institution, partly good, partly bad, but capable of
much improvement. Much of Civil Service procedure belongs to the
horse and buggy days and should be discarded. The protective shell
of law, rule and custom that makes improvement difficult should be
shattered and the system should be appraised purely on its merits
and on its defects.
Committee has a large amount of
salary data at hand and will continue its research work.
Cofluniitee Ck>al Stated
Resolutlcms adopted at the annual meeting calling for adjustment of basic salary scales of
State workers have already been
presented to Governor Thomas E.
Dewey and the Committee will lay
further facts before him.
Speaking of the goal of his Committee, Mr. Armstrong said:
"The interest of the State is to
get the essential State work done
efficiently and at the least cost
possible. The least cost is not the
least cost for a single year, however. It is the least cost over a
long term of years, because the

WHAT THE ADVERSE CRITICISM IS
MCDONOUGH
State must continue year after
year, in good times and bad.
"Obviously, an employer that is
going to remain active into the
distant future shovild induce ambition in his employees and as a
result should secure well qualified
recruits for a career service.
"The State needs workers with
certain abilities and to get these
workers must pay wages and salaries t h a t will draw and retain them
in competition with other employers."
The Salary Committee is composed of leading experts and research workers in State service.
The critics of the merit system point out the following:
1. The examination system often falls to attract the ablest,
most ambitious young people to public service or to measure and
test abilfty for the particular job.
2. Narrow residence requirements often rule out the best possible
candidates.
3. Appointment of one of the three standing highest on the
list of eligibles often compels the appointment of unfit candidates.
4. Too many positions are classed as Non-Competitive, Labor
or Exempt when the skills required can best be secured by Competitive appointments.
5. Probationary periods are too short to determine the ability
of new appointees.
9. Temporary and provisional appointees are allowed too often
to serve permanently or for long periods.
7. Promotions are too restricted by narrow promotion units. Dead
end jobs are multiplied.
». Veterans" preference creates a near monopoly of Public Service.
9. Lack of in-service training causes inefficiency and loss of
interest In the job to be done.

For Sfo#e Jobs
Whot State Employees Should Know
By THIODOtE BECKER
Veterans Who Mistakenly Resigned
Can Obtain Military Leaves of Absence
THE RIGHTS and privileges of
Section 246 of the Military Law,
with respect to reinstatement
after military duty, are reserved
for those persons who were public
employees at the time they entered upon such duty. The question is sometimes raised regarding the rights and privileges of
th<Ke employees who resigned upon ezUering military service. This
question will be presented more
frequently as more and more of
these former employees return
from military service. The answers
to this question necessarily depends upon the circumstances under which the resignation was
submitted.
ReaifBaUon By Mistake
1. Where the pubiic employee
Involved has resigned from his
State job, to enter the armed
forces, under the mistaken impression that suph resignation was
necessary, when In fact the ememployee could have encered upon
such service without a re;ilgnatlon,
•the State Civil Sex>vice Department will ];>ermlt a ccHn-eetion of
the mistake, ynder these conditions, the appointing officers may
change the reported personnel
transaction from a resignation to
a military leave of absence. This
accords equitable treatment to the
returning veteran who has u n necessarily prejudiced the reinstatement rights provided by him
by the Military Law.
2. Where an employee has resigned either prior to entering
military service or while in such
service in order to obtain the return of his retirement contributions, t h ^ his severance from the
service is complete and he cannot
be treated as being on a military
leave of absence. The action of
the employee cannot be considered a resignation for one puipose and not for another. A resignation for the purpose of withdrawing retirement contributions
is a resignation for all purposes.
Ktisiguatiuu In Lieu of Release
3. Where an employee resigns
from his job because of inability
to obtain a release to enter the
military or naval service, in ac-
cordance with the requirements
of the military or naval authorities, he is performing a necessary
and required act in order to
achieve a desired result. Here,
again, no question of mistake enters and the employee is bound
by the consequences of his own
voluntary action. Having severed
his conection with the public
service, he Is not a public employee entitled to the reinstatement benefits of the Military Law,
Discretionary Reinstatement
4. Where, in the latter two cases,
the resignation cannot be changed
to a military leave of absence, the
returning veteran may still be accorded some measure of relief. If
the appointing officer has a vacancy and Is so disposed he
may, within his discretion, rein-state the returning ex-employee,
even though one full year has
passed since his resignation.
Under Rule XVI-l-a of the State
Rules, time spent by a resigned
employee, in tlie militaiy or naval
forces of the United States, is
not considered in computing the
one year within which such reinstatement must ordinarily take
place. Hence, an employee who
resigned and immediately entered
the armed forces, has an entire
year within which to seek reinstatement to his position. It
should be noted th^^t such reinstatement Is dlscreUouaiy with
the appointing ottioer aiid is not
mandatory.

New Ruling
On Time Off
Is Delayed
Special to The LiGADBB
ALBANY, Dec. 4—Despite repeated assurances f r o m the State
Civil Service Department, time-off
regulations still have not been
made public. More t h a n a m o n t h
ago. The LEADER was assured
by an official
the Commission
t h a t the long-awaited regulations
would be released "in less t h a n a
month," The regulations deal
with holidays, vacations, sick leave
and overtime.
An original set of regulations
h a d been drawn up many months
ago, and in July, according to reliable reports, the regulations were
up and made ready for submitting
to the Governor. Since then, the
Civil Service Commission has not
explained what h a s happened to
the regulations, and why they are
being held up. One spokesman in
the Governor's office denied t h a t
the regulations h a d reached the
Governor's desk.
Failure of the new regulations
to be made effective has caused
m u c h resentment among institutional employees throughout the
State. They complain t h a t present regulations are out of 'date,
lack uniformity and are subect to
different interpretations in different institutions.

ALBANY, Dec. 4—The policy
instituted by Attorney-General
Nathaniel L. Goldstein of providing an incentive to top-ranking
students to decide upon a public
career service is expected to be
followed by other State departments. I t is reported t h a t the
plan is to be tried next in the
office of the State Comptroller,
of which Frank C. Moore is the
head. Mr. Goldstein ts said to
have
convinced
Comptroller
Moore to give the system a trial.
Some exceptionally able legal
work h a s been done by Assistants
whom Mr. Goldstein has selected
from lists submitted a t his request
by law school deans. There has
been distribution among various
schools. Also, the Assistants' progress has been rewarded
by
salary increases.
W h a t Record Discloses
A study of Attorney- General
Goldstein's administration of his
office shows t h a t not only has he
appointed law students of outstanding scholastic record
as
Assistants, but t h a t he h a s

to dead-end jobs despite their
ability, and has been very successful in obtaining promotion examinations for his competitive staff.
His record shows t h a t appointments and promotions are made

Steno and Typist
Filing Period
is In Last Weeic
Both men and women are eligible for Stenographer and Typists
examinations which will be held
by the Federal Government in the
metropolitan area in the near
future. The Regional OfBce of the
U. S. Civil Service Commission
has announced that applications
will be received until December 10
for the positions, which pay $1,902
and $1,704 for Stenographer and
$1,704 and $1,506 for Typist.
Application forms will be issued
and received at the Commission
office at 641 Washingtcai Street,
Manhattan. The Commission notifies applicants by mail when to
appear for the examination.
These tests are open to both
veterans and non-veterans. Commission officials point out that
while the appointments must be
made on a war-service basis, the
shortage of such help in the Federal Service is a good indication
of continued employment. Also,
the fact t h a t the positions are
being filled through a regular examination and appointment mafle
from a register may make it possible later to transform the positions to permanent status.

of the type of test which will be
