Special to The LEADER
Criticizing the unusually large number of exemptions
from competitive civil service examinations granted by the
State Civil Service Commission since January 1, 1943, as
"unwarranted," the Civil Service Reform Association today
urged Governor Dewey, in a letter written by Charles Burlingham. Chairman of its Executive Committee, "to request
the State Civil Service Commission to make a careful study
of the functions of the positions excepted from competition
and reconsider their civil service classification with a view
to placing them in the competitive class wherever practicable."
T h e letter states t h a t the Executive Committee had considered
a report of its special committee
which made a comparative study
and analysis of exemptions of
positions from competitive examinations in the State departments
(exclusive of State courts and institutions) granted since 1921 by
the State Civil Service Commission.
Contrast Cited
The report shows the following
comparative number of exempt
positions added or reduced in the
first three years of each State administration since 1921, as follows:
1921-1922 —Miller Administration—decrease 104.
1923-1925—Smith Administra-

Special to The LEADER
WASHINGTON, April 16—Complaints have been received by the
Appropriation Committee of the
House from employees who remained with old line agencies that
they are suffering the
consequences of not having transferred to war agencies in which
salary raises were frequent and
liberal.
The complainants say t h a t in
many instances persons whom
they used to supei-vise now return
to the old line agencies as their
supervisors. Examples were cited
of employees transferred from old
line agencies to war agencies as
CAF-6 who return to their former
agencies as CAF-12.

' W A S H I N G T O N , April 1ft—The

offer a r i d e r to t h e F e d e r a l p a y

s e p a r a t e resolution.
T h e so-called economy p l a n

I n t h e a b d o m i n a l test a c a n d i date must start in a recumbent
position with a barbell h e l d beh i n d his neck w i t h both h a n d s .
P r o m this position h e m u s t a s s u m e a sitting posture, c a r r y i n g
t h e barbell u p with h i m , i n a
m a x i m u m t i m e of one h u n d r e d
a n d fifty seconds. Penalties of
Ave p e r cent, d e d u c t e d f r o m t h e
final score few every t h i r t y seconds of overtime, are Imposed.
I n t h e more rigid physical tests,
raising a s i x t y - p o u n d barbell is
g r a d e d one h u n d r e d per cent. T h e
t o p g r a d e is reduced in some o t h e r
tests.
T h e purpose of this test is t o
m e a s u r e t h e s t r e n g t h of yoiu- a b d o m i n a l muscles. Some of t h e
p r e l i m i n a r y conditioning exercises
t h a t you h a v e practiced before
were m e a n t t o s t r e n g t h e n your
a b d o m i n a l muscles a n d p r e p a r e
t h e m f o r h a r d e r work. T h e s e exercises listed below will f u r t h e r
s t r e n g t h e n t h e m . You will s t a r t
W i t h a light weight, between five
a n d t e n pounds. You c a n p r a c t i c e
a t h o m e in t h e beginning, b u t a s
you increase t h e weight, you will
probably have t o go to a g y m n a s i u m because you will h a v e t o use
a barbell.
FIG. 2
To p r a c t i c e this test you will
either h a v e to get somebody to
hold your a n k l e s down, or else you
will h a v e t o use some k i n d of a n
a n c h o r , like a sofa or h e a v y chair
u n d e r which you c a n p u t yoiutoes.
G e t a book or brick or a n y
o t h e r object of similar weight. Lie
down on t h e floor w i t h y o u r legs
e x t e n d e d s t r a i g h t out a n d your
heels t o g e t h e r . If you h a v e n o
one t o h o l d your a n k l e s down,
hook t h e m u n d e r a couch a s
shown i n t h e diagram. Place t h e
weight b e h i n d your n e c k a n d
grasp t h e object with b o t h h a n d s .
Now raise t h e upper half of your
body by b e n d i n g your waist, a n d
assume a sitting position. Do n o t
t)end your knees. T h e n slowly
sink back t o your prone, s t a r t i n g
position. R e p e a t t h i s slowly u n til you tire. Coimt t h e n u m b e r
of times you do it, a n d t r y to i n crease daily. Practice w i t h t h i s
weight f o r a week.
At t h e e n d of the week you h a d
b e t t e r go t o a g y m n a s i u m where
a barbell is available, unless you
c a n rig one up a t h o m e . I n c r e a s e
t h e weight of t h e barbell g r a d u a l ly u p t o sixty pounds. E a c h time
you practice, s t a r t w i t h smaller
weights a n d build u p to t h e g r e a t er ones. D o n ' t s t a r t in "cold" on
t h e heaviest weight you h a v e been
using. D o n ' t increase t h e weights
too rapidly. Before you do i n crease, be sure you a r e p e r f o r m ing with a lighter weight easily.
Do n o t t r y for speed, because t h a t
is n o t essential a n d m a y Ije d a n gerous. P r a c t i c e diligently. I t is
wise to do t h e a b d o m i n a l limbering u p exercises first before you
a t t e m p t l i f t i n g a n y weight a t all.
W h e n you have m a s t e r e d sixty
iwunds, you have r e a c h e d a h u n dred p e r cent. If you c a n ' t quite
m a k e t h e weight, d o n ' t s t r a i n too
h a r d because you m a y do damage.
If you feel a n u n d u e s t r a i n on
your a b d o m i n a l muscles, ease up.
An a b d o m i n a l binder m a y help
you a t first, but you will eventually h a v e to do w i t h o u t it, so it
is p e r h a p s best not t o rely on such
a support, [see pp. 8 a n d 9.3

VET PREFERENCE BILL SIGNED
SDCcIal to Tlic LEADER
ALBANY, April 16.—Governor
Dewey signed the Ostertag bill,
amending the Civil Service law in
relation to preferences to war veterans ,in appointment, promotion
and retention and repeal of existing Section 21. I t was Introduced
In t h e legislature by Assemblyman
Harold C. Ostertag (R.. Wyoming
County).
T h e governor's memorandum
follows:
"This bill provides the necessary
legislation to implement
the
amendment to the Constitution
which took effect J a n u a r y 1 of
this year, and which provides for
a temporary preference in appointment and promotion for veterans and to continue the preference for disabled veterans. T h e
bill is a product of careful study
and deliberation by many groups
interested In the Civil Service and
in t h e privileges to be accorded
to veterans. The work of these
various groups was for the most
p a r t done in conjunction with one
another and with
agreement
amongst them with regard to most
of the provisions of the measure.
"The bill accomplishes, among
other things, the following:
"1. It clarifies the ambiguous
language of the constitutional
amendment to make it clear t h a t
the preference in appointment and
promotion accorded to non-disabled veterans applies only for a
hve-year period.
"2. It corrects the obvious error
in t h e constitutional amendment
with regard to the preference in
retention t h a t Is granted to disabled and non-disabled veterans.
If not corrected, disabled veterans,
would be dropped first regardless
of seniority, where positions are
abolished.
"3. I t fixes t h e time included
by the phrase 'time of war' in the
Constitution. It provides t h a t the
date of the termination of World
W a r II, for the purpose of the
amendment, shall be deemed September 2, 1945. This is in accordance with the bulk of the veteran
legislation in this State.
"4. I t implements the manner
of claiming a preference and t h e
effects thereof upon the certification of lists. This will facilitate
t h e making of claims, avoid litigation, and yet expedite the administration of government.
"5. I t makes appropriate proVision for the consideration of
disability of a veteran disqualifying him for positions where the
disability involves incapacity to
perform the duties of the position.
t'6. I t provides a penalty for denial of preference in violation of
provisions of the law.
"This bill is a necessary one
and, in substantial measure, constitutes an excellent meeting of
t h e problems arising in connection
with the preference for veterans.
T h e provision for a penalty for
denial of preference seems an u n necessary one as well as undesirable. Moreover, the manner of its
draftsmanship is such t h a t it will
unquestionably be a source of difficulty and trouble in the futiu-e
for veterans as well as administrators. It will certainly be a fertile
source of litigation.
"However, any errors t h a t may
t u r n up In connection with this
legislation can easily be corrected
In future legislation.
"The bill is approved."

Lists Reasons
"This bill Is objectionable for
the following reasons:
"1. It grants a special privilege
to eligibles on certain specific lists
based on a temporary appointment
therefrom or on military service
which Is not granted to eligibles
on similar lists which may have
been established at other times
during 1939 or later. T h e records
of this Department indicate t h a t
an eligible list for Patrolman in
the towns and villages of Westchester County was established on
J a n u a r y 9, 1939, and a similar list
for towns and villages in Erie
County was established on J a n u ary 18, 1939. Eligibles on such
lists would be covered. However,
eligibles on other lists for Patrolmen would not be covered.
Discriniinution Cited
"2. T h e bill discriminates between those eligibles who accepted
temporary appointments and those
who would only accept permanent
appointments from the lists involved. It also discriminates between those eligibles who entered
military service and those who
served with the Merchant Marine
or with the Red Cross overseas.
It also grants a special privilege
to those veterans of World War II
who were on the list (although
