" MINIMUM PENSION BILL Our office at 51 Chambers St. remains open until MERIT AWARD Mondays & Fridays Tttesdiiy, Februarf 12, 1946 CIVIL SERVICE By FRANK L. TOLMAN President, T h e Association of S t a t e Civil Service Employees C A N GOVERNMENT SAVE US? SCIENCE has destroyed t h e old familiar world of yesterday b u t t h e world of tomorrow h a s not yet been born and what t h a t world will be nobody knows. Science cannot save us because scientists limit their research to measuiable factors. Political a n d social science have not yet become applied or practical science. They lack t h e experience a n d the d a t a to do more t h a n offer tentative suggestions a n d conditional findings. One reason for their high percentage of error Is their tendency to t h i n k of governm e n t as something a p a r t f r o m society, somewhat distant f r o m t h e people. You cannot, of course, talk of government as such and talk sense. You cannot seek solutions in dead forms of government or in a n y present f o r m without drastic modifications required to meet t h e changes of t h e f u t u r e . T h e kind of government we need must, I think, have certain characteristics which it now lacks or possesses only in small measure. MORE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT NEEDED I venture to suggest some elements of t h e kind of government t h a t can save us f r o m anarchy, f r o m despotism, f r o m Internal strife, f r o m war, f r o m poverty a n d f r o m fear. (1) T h e people in t h e last analysis are t h e government a n d t h e welfare of all t h e people a n d all t h e peoples of t h e e a r t h is t h e supreme end of government. Government must become more democratic—less autocratic. (2) Grovemment must be highly mobile to be able to meet crises a n d perils. T h e strong tendency to rigidity and legalism must be done away with. (3) Government must be able t o m a k e u p its mind quickly for t h e same reason. T h e unconscionable slowness t h a t paralyzes all b r a n c h e s of government m u s t end. (4) This process of making up its mind is t h e legislative process. I n legislation t h e entire people of t h e S t a t e must t a k e a n active p a r t . U p t o t h e present, this is done chiefly by selecting representatives a t elections. T h e more i m p o r t a n t phases of political action in f r a m i n g legislation, formulating policies, administering justice, etc., is largely e x t r a legal. I t should be m a d e a n i m p o r t a n t p a r t of t h e legal duties of citizenship. (5) I n t h e field of administration, t h e most connpetent persons m u s t execute t h e laws a n d carry out t h e will of t h e people. T h i s is f-ar f r o m t h e present facts. (6) Civil Service is t h e best method yet devised to assure this end, but it is not yet perfected or observed. (7) There is no adequate system of training civil servants. (8) T h e r e is no real career service in government. (9) T h e r e is no prestige to a t t r a c t t h e highest ability t o serve In government. , ^ , , . . (10) Low salaries debar m a n y of t h e best qualified minds and h e a r t s f r o m public service. (11) Government must have a great h e a r t , a high conscience a n d great courage. I t must personify the best in t h e life of the State. I t must always be ready to act and act promptly in t h e common interest.

Shoro Tells Grievance Procedure Burton Decides Against Changing Commissary Rule For State Workers Special to The LEADER WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW By THEODORE BECKER The Returning Veteran Need Not Be Restored To Old Desk or W a r d Where He Formerly Worked T h e most f u n d a m e n t a l protection accorded S t a t e employees who left the service to perform military duty is t h e right of restoration to their old positions upon the tei-mination of their military leaves of absence. T h e Military Law provides t h a t "every public employee shall be entitled to absent himself f r o m his position while engaged In military duty a n d . . . shall be reinstated to his position provided he makes application for such r e instatement within ninety days a f t e r the termination of his milit a r y duty." W i t h t h e more rapid r e t u r n of veterans to their jobs, some questions have been raised regarding t h e full signiflcance of this stipulated right to r e t u r n to the old position. Identical Assignment. Take t h e case of A, a Senior Clerk in a S t a t e d e p a r t m e n t . At the time h e entered military service, he h a d been In charge of a large group of Clerks in a n a d ministrative unit of his d e p a r t ment. After A went into service, t h e head of t h e division took B, a Senior Clerk In charge of a smaller group, a n d placed him in charge of A's old group. A's substitute was placed in charge of B's former group. Let us assume t h a t with B at its h e a d t h e larger group fimctioned more efficiently t h a n when A was in charge. Now, A r e t u r n s f r o m military service and requests reinstatement to his old position. He is p u t back on the payroll, but t h e division head does not p u t h i m in charge of his old group. Instead, h e places A a t the h e a d of B's former group. Has A any just cause for complaint W h a t Must Be Similar T h e answer is t h a t A cannot raise any solid objection on t h e ground t h a t he was not restored to exactly the same duties he h a d when he went away. As long as t h e duties actually assigned uopn his r e t u r n fall within t h e scope oi t h e duties covered by his title, A cannot complain. T h e law contemplates merely t h a t "A" shall not lose any s t a t u s because of his military duty. I t does not guarantee against reassignment while in military service, as long as a similar r e a l i g n m e n t would have been valid a n d proper if A h a d remained in his job. Location of Job May Cliange T ^ e same result follows In t h e case of C, a hospital a t t e n d a n t . Before h e went into military service, C was assigned to W a r d 1. Upon his r e t u r n f r o m military service he is told to report for work In W a r d 2. Does this deprive C of any rights under t h e Military Law, No, inasmuch as h e was restored to his old position of A t t e n d a n t a t t h e same i n stitution even though t h e exact locality of his employment h a s been changed. Another way of looking a t t h e personnel transaction is this. Assume t h a t upon their return, A was restored t o t h e head of his old group a n d C was assigned to his old W a r d 1. Are they frozen in these spots? No, because there is n o t h i n g to prevent their reassignment to different posts within t h e scope of their titles. If they can be reassigned while on civilian duty, they could have been reassigned while on military duty. T h e Military Law was n o t designed to accord a n employee in military service any greater rights t h a n he would have h a d h a d h e remained in his Job during t h e p«rloil of his mUitary dut^^ • ALBANY. Feb. 1 2 — U n e m p l o y m e n t insurance for S t a t e employees who should bri so u n f o r t u n a t e as t o lose their jobs—that's t h e purpose of a measure introduced in t h e S t a t e Legislature by S e n a tor Seymour Halpern (R., Queens). T h e bill extends to employees of t h e S t a t e t h e provisions of t h e Unemployment Insurance Law which now protect employees in private industry. While S t a t e employment is r e p u t e d to be relatively stable, e m ployees who lose their jobs h a v e t h e same need of unemployment insurance, to tide t h e m over u n t i l they c a n find a new job, as do employees in private industry. T h i s bill gives t h e m t h e same p r o tection as private employees u n d e r t h e same procedure and upon t h e same terms. F r o m t h e fiscal viewpoint, u n employment insurance would be handled in m u c h t h e same way t h a t Workmen's Compensation Insurance is now handled by t h e State. T h e S t a t e does n o t p a y workmen's compensation premiums.

S. Commission, meanwhile the old rules, susg^ded during the war, were to be revived; but the U. S. Commssion had its interim rules ready before the ink was dry on the President's order. And the Second Regional office threw in the high gear for holding examinations that would result in permanent jobs. Mesanwhile it held up the issue and receipt of all applications. There musn't be any traffic when you want to make a U-turn. The NYC Commission evidently is getting more aid from Mayor O'Dwyer than it got from Mayor LaGuardia. Not only is it able to conduct the tremendous Patrolman examination, but it is selecting examination sites for the large Car Cleaner test, and trying, with the aid of Fire Commissioner Quayle, to get the Fireman exam through the Budget Director's office. Also, it is considering the largest examination the city ever holds, that of Sanitation Man, to follow the Car Cleaner test. The Stated Doings Thus the State Commission, whose problem is similar to that of NYC, is being paced a bit by its municipal brother, but has its eligible lists, revised to effectuate veteran preference, in practically completed form, and should be ready to proceed with numerous appointments and also examination. There are about 2,000 State jobs filled by provisionals. The State Government should do all it can to have permanent positions filled by permanent employees. The State has often had, under one administration or another, an inordinate fondness for provisionals. plans. More p a t i e n t s will be a c commodated, and accommodated better, in t h e m e n t a l i n s t i t u t i o n s . Maybe, finally the Attendants won't h a v e t o d a n c e with t h e p a t i e n t s a n y more. Now if t h e y p r e f e r to duck t h e f u n t h e y h a v e t o f a c e t h e f r o n t office.

Yes, second. IV Public's Interest Meanwhile the public can look forward to a real benefit if all plans are worked out carefully and administered fairly. President Truman's executive order, and the U. S. Commission regulations thereunder, are practical, realistic and most welcome. They put the high-standard examination back on the pedestal from which the bombs of war blastec it. They convert offers of shaky jobs to offers of permanent jobs. To be sure, the quantity of jobs will be less in the Federal Government, with reduction in activities resulting in reduction in force, but the quality of the retained jobs will increase. Both the State and the cities face a reverse situation, of increased activities. On the obverse or the reverse side, the merit system medal should glitter just as brightly. Let's see if it does.
