Dr. Tolman Would Have It Follow Up
Dewey's Stop-Gap Increases With
Feld-Hamilton Amendments
Special to The LEADKa
ALBANY, Jan. 15—The "temporary adjusbments" of pay of
State employees, proposed by
Governor Dewey in his message to
the Legislature, constitute a stopgap, to help tide the employees
over an emergency, said Dr. Frank
L. Tolman today. Dr. Tolman,
President of the Association of
State Civil Service Employees,
said t h a t the Association should
do most of the work in preparing
proposals for permanent pay
schedules by proposing amendments of the Feld-Hamilton law.
He told of non-conflicting
salary bills t h a t the Association
will cause to be introduced at the
present session of the Legislature.
He mentioned a cost-of-living adjustment bill, a bill for increments
progressive with length of service,
time and a half for overtime and
a n equal work-equal pay bill.
Dr. Tolman's Statement
Dr. Tolman's statement follows:
"The News of the Week is, of
course, the Governor's salary
policy as contained in his annual
message on the state of the State
of New York.
"The Governor recommends a n
Increase of the present emergency
bonus by 10 per cent in the lower
salaries down to 4 per cent increase on salaries over $4,000.
"The Governor stated t h a t 'the
people of our State have cause to
be proud of their employees. I
have visited many offices and institutions throughout the State,
and everywhere I have been impressed by the flrst-rate job being
done by our men and women.
Time and again, I have seen them
turning out their work under the
most trying conditions.'
"Governor Dewey continued:
'One of the first lessons I learned
in Albany was t h a t Administrators have too easily taken for
granted the work and the loyalty
of their employees—our pay scales
today are still insufficient. We are
unable to secure qualified employees. Further increases in our
emergency compensation allowances are essential.'

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, J a n . 15—Department
heads to whom a tentative d r a f t
of time-off regulations for administrative offices were submitted,
have been sending in comments
as requested by the State Civil
Service Commission. No decision
has been reached yet.
Frank Denster is handling the
matter for the Commission. It is
expected t h a t in a few weeks t h e
project will come to a head.
that acceptance by the Senate of
the Byrd formula, in place of the
Downey plan for a flat 20 per
cent Increase on all salaries, has
its hopeful aspects, for it means
that the economy-minded group
at the Capitol will not oppose an
increase in the terms of the formula t h a t appears in the bill, a n d
that there may be a good chance
to liberalize it considerably.
Prominently mentioned just before Congress adjourned was a
plan to substitute a 40-20-10 formula in place of the Byrd 36-18-9
per cent formula, which would
mean t h a t the increases given last
July would be Jus^t doubled.
Typical of the expanding Veterans Administration,
the Veterans Hospital on Kingsbridge Road in The Bronx
has installed new procedures for the hiring of physicians
in accordance with the reorganization of V.A. to allow
for a more efficient medical organization. President Truman recently signed a bill establishing a Medical Bureau
in the V.A., with hiring done without going through civil
service.

QUICK HOUSE ACTION
SOUGHT ON PAY
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—Federal employees throughout the
nation are anxiously awaiting
House action on the bill to increase the earnings of Government workers.
The Congress reconvened yesterday after the Christmas-New
Year's holiday recess.
Chairman Jennings Randolph
of the House Civil Service Committee has indicated that the pay
bill will receive prompt and sympathetic consideration as soon as
the Congressional wheels begin
revolving.
Informants in the Capitol say
With a total of 20,000 applications anticipated, from which 3,000
appointments are expected, the
Municipal Civil Service Commission has tentatively chosen Februa r y 16 as the date of t h e written
examination for Patrolman (P.D.).
February 6 will probably be t h e
last day on which men who were
in service during the regular filing period may apply. There is no
disposition to reopen the exam for
non-veterans. The Commission
failed to take any action in t h a t
direction at its meeting. Veterans
who were discharged on or a f t e r
Dec. 12 may apply in pex'son a t
the office of the Commission, 96
Duane Street. They should bring
along papers showing the d a t e of
their discharge or separation f r o m
service.
[Patrolman study aid, p. 10]
Vacancies on the medical staff
of the large establishment occur
weekly.
The hospital hiring routine is
described by a Facility ofliclal as
follows:
Step-by-step Directions
The first step is for the doctor
to call a t the Office of Colonel
Hyland Flower in Building D,
where he is given a preliminary
interview. The table of organization is then checked to see if there
is a vacancy calling for his i>articular type of training and experience.
If there is an appropriate vacancy in Grade 4 ($4$,300 s^ year
base pay), the physician can be
hired directly by the Facility.
Then he fills out the standard

which would have extended the
provisions of this law to State

boards had ample authority to assure like pay for women when
they were performing the same

"Tlie principles established in

do everything possible to assure
t h a t they are applied to women

discrimination applying in the
case of the women guards at

THE PRESS recently carried a news item that an investigation
of the State Civil Service Commis.sion would be proposed in the 1946
Legislature.
Caesar's wife inuat be above all suspicions. The Civil Service
Department, beyond all other Government agencies must be held to
a strict accounting for unsullied devotion to the principles of good
government and business-like administration.
I n general, Civil Service provides or forms the gears of the
government personnel machine. Unless these gears operate smoothly
a n d effectively, the whole machine stalls or breaks down. It is, therefore. necessary and proper t h a t inspection and preventive "measures
be taken frequently to keep the governmental system operating at
t h e highest possible level of efficiency.
It is well known t h a t civil seiTice h a s been abandoned in large
measure during the war. Antiquated rules and obsolete provisions
of laws were patently inadequate to meet the needs of the vastly
expanded federal war service, so a great body of emergency orders,
rules and regulations, of necessity, were devised in the federal civil
service any many of these were soon adopted by the States. Now
t h a t the war is over and hundreds of thousands of temporary civil
service workers face the loss of their jobs, the problem of changing
t h e emergency machinery into- a post war model is acute.
CRITICISMS OF CIVIL SERVICE

t h e Governor s t a t e d , t h a t 'in view

in n a t i o n a l economic conditions,
it is necessary t h a t our basic

1937, be completely reviewed for

T h e juvenile delinquency p r o g r a m u n d e r t a k e n with t h e creation of
t h e S t a t e Y o u t h Commission is m a k i n g i m p o r t a n t headway, a n d t h e

Interest wa.s focused on war questions, t h e S t a t e nevertheless, u n d e r took new a n d increaaed medical a n d o t h e r services to the aged, t h e
blind and others requiring welfare assistance.
POST-WAR PREPAREDNESS
F o r more t h a n a year before t h e end of the war, agencies of t h e
S t a t e g o v e r n m e n t h a d been h a r d at work on a p r o g r a m to insure
high level e m p l o y m e n t a n d production in t h e p o s t - w a r period. T h e
end of t h e war found us r e a d y a n d I was able immediately to create
a Reconversion Service Agency compased of t h e Commissioners of
Commerce, Labor a n d Public Works to render effective service in
helping business with its reconver.^ion problems. W i t h t h e aid of
t h e State, s u b s t a n t i a l progress h a s been m a d e by New York firmis in
obtaining w a r p l a n t s as they become available, t h u s providing a d d i tional .)ob opportunities f o r v e t e r a n s a n d war workers.
T h e f u t u r e prospects for business a n d job opportunities in this
S t a t e are g r e a t . I n p a r t , t h i s is a t r i b u t e to our S t a t e m a c h i n e r y for
i n s u r i n g Industrial peace. I t is even more a tribute to t h e wisdom a n d
public spirit of our i n d u s t r i a l a n d labor leaders a n d t h e i r organizations.
I t Is also a tribute to t h e people of this S t a t e whose ideas of progress
a n d industrial stability have m a d e t h e m t h e p r o u d possessors of t h e
first S t a t e School of I n d u s t r i a l a n d Labor Relations which it was my
great pleasure to open a t Cornell University last Fall.
T h e condition of your S t a t e is sound. B o t h t h e S t a t e governm e n t and t h e business c o m m u n i t y are in good s h a p e financially a n d
possessed of t h e t e c h n i c a l skill a n d confidence to face t h e futui'e
boldly. Unless n a t i o n a l conditions a n d policies miake it impossible,
t h e prospects for 1946 in t h e S t a t e of New York are bright for jobs
a t good wages f o r all who w a n t to work in a prosperous economy.
STATE HIGHWAY OFFICES
T h e r e stUl exist In t h e S t a t e 5,912 gracie crossings. Of this
n u m b e r , 846 are considered sufficiently h a z a r d o t » or otherwi.HC objectionable as to require i m m e d i a t e a t e n t i o n .
I n our c.anal system we find a c c u m u l a t e d deterioration. Lock
walks are crumbling, docks in .some cases collapsed, bridges obsolete,
m e c h a n i c a l e q u i p m e n t in need of replacement in whole or in p a r t .
A necessary a d j u n c t of t h e S t a t e h i g h w a y s y s t e m is provision
for its m a i n t e n a n c e . District offices, repair shops a n d county m a i n t e n a n c e h e a d q u a r t e r s generally are outgrown, insufficient a n d in
some cases derelict.
STATE B U I L D I N G S
T h e long neglect a n d p o s t p o n e m e n t of essential work w h i c h
afflicts our highways is only exceeded by t h e disrepair a n d i n a d e quacy of m a n y of our S t a t e buildings. Let m e give you a few examples:
, . ,
At the School for t h e Blind a t Batavla, 175 blind boys a n d gn-ls
are being t a u g h t how to achieve a n o r m a l h a p p y life a n d to e a r n a
n o r m a l living. T h e m a i n a d m i n i s t r a t i o n a n d classroom building at
t h i s school is over 75 years old. T h e interior is constructed entirely
of wood which h a s dried out over t h e years. T h e m a j o r portion
of electrical wiring is 40 years old, a n d is inadequately pi^otected
f r o m t h e d a n g e r of short circuits. T h e classes a n d assemblies of
these blind children a r e conducted on t h e t h i r d floor and 27 persons
still live in t h a t s t r u c t u r e . I h a v e seen these blind children being
t a u g h t a n d living in a dangerous fire t r a p . T h a t is a situation t h a t
c a n be t o l e r a t e d n o longer.
T h e capacity of L e t c h w o r t h Village is 3,177 but today its population is 4.0«3, a n overcrowding of 885 p a t i e n t s , m a n y of whom are
children. T h e overcrowding is so bad t h a t in a building designed for
96 p a t i e n t s t h e r e a r e more t h a n 150. Som^ 300 children a r e sleeping
o n m a t t r e s s e s laid end to end on t h e floors of d a y rooms. T h a t also is
a n intolerable situation a n d m u s t be corrected.
At C e n t r a l Islip, tubei-cular p a t i e n t s are boused in unfinished
buildings with u n p l a s t e r e d walls a n d no ceilings. T h e buildings a r e
i n c a p a b l e of being properly cleaned a n d a r e a p o t e n t i a l breeding
place for vermin.

At t h e B i n g h a m t o n S t a t e Hospital t h e r e is an assembly hall, built
In 1896, w i t h wooden floors a n d stairways. I n t o t h a t hall 800 of t h e
m e n t a l l y ill p a t i e n t s h a v e to go for movies a n d o t h e r e n t e r t a i n m e n t .
T h a t building is laconically described in a report I h a v e received as
"combustible."
. ,
At the Syracuse S t a t e School the m a i n group of buildings was
built prior to 1854.
.
At t h e Utica S t a t e H-ospital m e n t a l p a t i e n t s are housed in a
building built in 1843. All facilities are m a k e s h i f t and s a n i t a r y
a r r a n g e m e n t s completely inadequate.
I n institution a f t e r institution t h e same t h i n g is true. Overcrowding is chronic a n d ranges up to 20 per cent a n d even 30 per
cent. Antiquated buildings, insufficient s a n i t a r y facilities, p a t i e n t s
sleeping in corridors—this is t h e way t h e proud S t a t e of New York
a t the present time is forced to t a k e care of t h e u n f o r t u n a t e people
in its m e n t a l and other institutions! W e c a n n o t , we must not, p e r m i t
these conditions to continue. O u r institutions h a v e been neglected
t h r o u g h long y e a r s . o f depression a n d as a result of t h e enforced
c u r t a i l m e n t of building during t h e war years. Now t h a t t h e war is
over, a n d as m e n a n d materials again become available, we m u s t
press forward to meet these moving, h u m a n needs.
SOCIAL WELFARE I N T E G R A T I O N
Everyone h a s agreed t h a t our public welfare system is a p a t c h work.
^
^
,
I have .said before a n d I wish to r e p e a t : t h e p r e s e n t system which
requires persons or families in need to go to 2. 3 or 3 different public
agencies is a n Inexcusable burden on t h e needy. I t is also costly a n d
inefficient. It is our d u t y to cure it.
As a condition to receiving added S t a t e aid for welfare purposes,
u n d e r t h e plan proposed by t h e Commission on Municipal Revenues
I r e c o m m e n d t h a t t h e localities should be required to provide all
welfare services In a n integral p l a n of a d m i n i s t r a t i o n .
LABOR
T h e agencies of government In t h e S t a t e h a v e held t h e confidence
of both labor a n d m a n a g e m e n t . T h a t confidence they will continue
t o hold because of t h e practice of effective coopeiation leather t h a n
a t t e m p t e d d o m i n a n c e of the economic processes of entei-prise or of
organized labor.
T h e S t a t e Mediation Boerd h a s done v a l i a n t work in f a c i l i t a t i n g
t h e peaceful solution of indu^itrlal disputes. T h e Board is now composed of five p e r m a n e u t m e m b e r s a n d two m e m b e r s appointed f r o i a
year to year. To meet t h e needs a h e a d the b o a r d o u d ^ t to be expanded. Accordingly, 1 a m recommetjdtng t h a t t h e board be increa.ied
to seven p e r m a n e n t m e m b e r s by provision for t h e a p p o i n t m e n t of
two addttional p e r m a n e n t m e m b e r s in place of t h e two m e m b e r s
now a p p o i n t e d f r w n year to year.
EDUCATION
Prflowlng t h e r e p o r t of the C o m m i t t e e on t h e S t a t e EdU'cational
P r o g r a m , a n d on m y r e c o m m e n d a t i o n , t h e Legislature created a
Commi.ssion on Technical Institutes. T h i s Commission will r e p o r t
a t this session. Serious consideration should be given to t h e creation
of t e m p o r a r y experimental p r o g r a m s supported entirely or p a i t l y by
t h e S t a t e to determine t h e basic desirability of such inatltirtea. I a m
sure t h a t t h e Commis.slon, when it reports will provide t h e basis
necessary for yooir action.
STATE E M P L O Y E E S
T h e people of our S t a t e have cause to be proud of their e m ployees. I have visited m a n y offices a n d institutions throughotit t h e
S t a t e a n d everywhere h a v e been impressed by t h e first-rate job t h e y
are doing. Time a n d again I have seen t h e m t u r n i n g out their work
u n d e r t h e most t r y i n g conditions.
One of the first lessons I learned In Albany was t h a t A d m i n i s t r a tions h a v e toe easily t a k e n for g r a n t e d t h e work a n d t h e loyalty of
their employees. W h e n I came to Albany, s t a r t i n g salaries were a s
low as $900 per year. W i t h the cooperation of your H o n o r a b l e Bodies
we raised t h e general s t a r t i n g salai'y to $1,200. Later in t h e session
of 1943 we increased all salaries up to $3,975 by f r o m 7V2 per cent
to 10 per cent. I n 1945 we increased all .salaries by f r o m 10 per cent
'to 20 per cent. W e have promoted employees a n d reclassified a n d
reallocated positions to achieve equity a n d f a i r n e s s w i t h i n our p r e s e n t
structure. B u t our p a y scales t o d a y a r e still insufficient fairliy to
meet t h e great increa.^es In t h e cost of living. Moreover, we are
u n a b l e to secure qualified employes in m a n y b r a n c h e s of t h e public
service. Furthei- increases in our emergency compensation allowa n c e s are essential.
I r e c o m m e n d t h a t t h e present additional compensation be
c h a n g e d as follows:
F o r those e a r n i n g less t h a n $1,500 per year, t h a t t h e r a t e be
increased f r o m 20 per cent to 30 per cent; f o r t h o s e receiving
$1,500 but leas t h a n $2 000, t h a t t h e r a t e be Increased f r o m 17V2
per cent to 26 per c e n t ; for those .receiving $2,000 but less t h a n
$3,000, t h a t t h e r a t e be increased f r o m 15 per cent to 22 per
c e n t ; f o r those receiving $3,000 but less t h a n $4,000. t h a t t h e
r a t e be increased f r o m 12V2 per cent to i 8 p e r c e n t ; for those
receiving $4,000 a n d over, t h a t t h e r a t e be increased f r o m 10
per cent to 14 per cent but t h a t t h e Uniitation on t h e increase
r e m a i n fixed, a s it was last year, at $1,000.
O u r present additional compensation is not regarded as salary
for r e t i r e m e n t or pen.sion purposes. I r e c o m m e n d t h a t t h i s additional
compensation be available for t h e s e purposes, a n d t h a t it be m a d e
retroactive for t h e p a s t t h r e e years a t t h e option of t h e employee.
I look upon t h i s salary r e c o m m e n d a t i o n as t h e contliiuiation of
a t e m p o r a r y a d j u s t m e n t which should become p e r m a n e n t in view
of t h e c h a n g e s t h a t h a v e occurred in n a t i o n a l economic conditions.
T h e r e a r e serious Inequities still, however, between some grades a n d
some of our highly e d u c a t e d a n d t r a i n e d employees are not, even
now, adequately compensated. I t is necessary, t h e r e f o r e , t h a t our
basic salary scales originally fixed in 1937 be completely reviewed
for perrevanent changes. F o r t h i s p u r p o s e I will r e c o m m e n d in my
budget message a substantially increased a p p r o p r i a t i o n for t h e S a l a r y
Board. T h e Legislature ^ o u l d p l a n a t its next session to provide
f o r s u c h p e r m a n e n t changes in our basic pay scale, including t h e
correction of inequities as t h e S a l a r y Board will recommend.

A plea of men on the Correction
Officer list for appointment to the

was
denied by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission today.
I n densring the plea, the Commission said that the differences
between the Police and Correction
Officer examinations made it impossible to recognize the Correction test as appropriate for the
Police force.
The Commission cited the f a c t
the Police written test was f a r

Rules Adopted
To Break Ties
A method of breaking tie scores
on the Patrolman (P.D.) examinations has been established by
the Municipal Civil Service Commission according to an announcement by Harry W. Marsh, Commission President.
1. The candidate with
the
highest score on the written
examination will be given the
higher rating.
2. If there is still a tie, the can-
didate with the highest rating on
the endurance test (1 mile run)
will be given the higher rating.
3. If there is still a tie, the candidate who got the better score on
the strength test (dumbbell lift)
will be given the higher rating.
4. If there is still a tie. the
order of application will determine who goes first on the list.
T h e one who applied earliest of
the tied candidates wins.
Uniform Shortage
Blow to Recruits
Newly-appointed members of
the NYC Police Department are
finding t h a t a Policeman's lot is
not a very happy one, because
they're having uniform trouble.
One of the largest police outfitters told The LEADER that of
150 new cops appointed on December 12, he's only been able to
get enough cloth to dress 56 in
new Police miiforms.
The new cop is supposed to go
out a n d get a uniform as soon as
he's sworn in, but today the shortage of cloth makes that almost
impossible. What he's supposed
to get is an overcoat at $55 to
$60; pants a t $15; a cap (which
can be obtained) at $2.50; a night-
stick at $1.50; and a gun and
holster which costs about $30 to
$40, but can't be readily gotten
either.
There's a brisk market in
second-hand uniforms. Many of
the new cops follow the Police
retirements and try to buy imiforms and equipment f r o m men

Dopiirtinent of K<iu(-alion and ihe Veterans Administration and
our training is therefore available under the provisions of the
Bill. However, we diijcourage any veteran (particularly those
who are entitled to two, three or four years of education) to
use these rights for a short inexpensive course such as Patrolman. The regidations specify that having concluded one
course, no matter how short, the veteran is not entitled to any
future educational bencfis.

W A S H I N O T O N , J a n . 16—Here
are answers to t h e quesitons of
t h o u s a n d s of U. S . " w a r service
Indefinite" workers whose jobs
will be vitally aflfected w h e n t h e
O o v e r n m e n t r e t u r n s , in t h e n e a r
f u t u r e , t o t h e peacetime system
of filling U. S. vacancies t h r o u g h
s t a n d a r d exams.
T h e W a r Service employes were
a p p o i n t e d for t h e d u r a t i o n - p l u s six-months. T h o u s a n d s would like
to stay in O o v e r n m e n t work. B u t
m u c h will depend on how t h e new
system works out. O n t h e basis
of c u r r e n t I n f o r m a t i o n , h e r e a r e
answers t o t h e most commonly
repeated questions:
Ii.<5ta.
Q. Does t h e new " p e a c e t i m e
s y s t e m " m e a n t h a t W a r Service
workers wil be forced out of t h e i r
jobs? A. Not necessarily. B u t t h e
answer, in individual cases, d e pends on a g r e a t m a n y f a c t o r s ,
some of which will be explained
below.
Q. Will I be p e r m i t t e d to t a k e
a n exam, a n d try to qualify for a
p e r m a n e n t Civil Sei-vice a p p o i n t m e n t ? A. Yes. E x a m s will be
open, on a n equal basis, to all who
w a n t to t a k e t h e m .
Q. W h a t jobs will be t h r o w n
open for exams? A. Eventually,
the great m a j o r i t y of all U. S.
jobs will be filled t h r o u g h exams.
B u t n o t even t h e Civil Service
Commission knows yet
which
exams will be opened first.
Q. If I t a k e an exam a n d pass,
will I be assured of a p e r m a n e n t
Civil Service a p p o i n t m e n t ? A. No.
You will be "assm'ed" of a Civil
Service a p p o i n t m e n t only if you
pass t h e exam with a very h i g h
m a r k s . However, in m a n y cases,
a lower m a r k will be sufficient t©
get you by.
Q. W h a t kind of a n a p p o i n t m e n t will I get if I pass a n e x a m
I n the interim F e d e r a l agencies
wil be given a u t h o r i t y to do their
own hiring, instead of of hiring
t h r o u g h the Commission. Person.s
.so hired will be given a p p o i n t m e n t s which quite po.ssibly will be
temporary-probational.
Persons w h o pass the e x a m s

a p p o i n t m e n t , can count t h e time
they served as t e m p o r a r y workers
