Pension Talk Heard
Chapter
By
Max Weinstein, Actuary of the
N. Y. State Retirement System,
described the State retirement
system, a n d explained its p r a c tical rules and regulations, in a
talk to the Palisades Interstate
Park Chapter.
Mr. Weinstein Introduced his
talk by explaining what an "Actuary actually is." He said:
"It needs no great play of Imagination for State workers t o
imderstand the value of being a
member of the retirement system," said he. "In the retiring
years of life a pension is desired
and looked for. Naturally, we all
want to get as much as possible,
or what we are entitled to receive."
Mr. Weinstein illustrated the
case of drawing accumulated pension funds in lump siuns, contrasted with leaving it in the system, pointing out t h a t in many
cases even small f u n d s paid big
returns to members who lived over
a long pei'Iod after retirement.
Mr. Weinstein's discussion was
well received and applauded.
The speaker conducted a n open
forum in regular Town Hall style,
answering a barrage of questions
from the audience.
"Mr. Weinstein possesses the
kind of personality and leadership ability t h a t State workers
look for," said Angelo Donato,
president of the State Association
Chapter.
Mr. Weinstein spoke with many
of the Park employees, including
Samuel Nelson, Deputy General
Manager; Miss J . A.- Marvin,

APTITUDE
Speclml to The LEADER
ALBANY, April 23—Believing
t h a t failure to fill vacancies in
the maintenance forces of the
Barge Canal, for which there are
now available eligible list-t, is
detrimental to the pronor operation a n d maintenance of the
Barge Canal, fficers a n d members of the Barge Canal Chapter,
Association of State Civil Service
Employees have called upon t h e
E>epartment and the Civil Service
Commission to aid in having these
positions filled at once.
According to information received by the Chapter, on the
eligible lists are persons now e m ployed by the Division of Canals
In the non-competitive class and
being offered positions in-the competitive class at a salary below
which they are now receiving in
the non-competitive jobs. This
they refuse to do, with the result
t h a t the positions go unfilled or
are being filled by temporary a n d
provisional appointments.
"It is the understanding of t h e
Chapter t h a t there Is now a law
on t h e statute books which r e quires t h a t any employee of t h e
State in the non-competltlve class
who Is offered a n appointment t o
any position In the competitive
.class shall be offered a salary not
less t h a n his present r a t e of pay,

is not greater t h a n the maximum
rate of pay for the position which
he is offered," said Otto Burkhart,

Of course t h e answer is "yes"! Any o t h e r answer is p u r e n o n eense a i m e d a t t h e evasion of the constitutional provision.

" T h e p l a n is t o add the $120
i n c r e m e n t to t h e bonus (a p r a c tice n o t previously p e r m i t t e d ) , so
t h a t t h e employee will get $360
m o r e pay.' T h e Board h a s p r a c tically decided, but until t h e
a p p r o p r i a t i o n is actually m a d e ,
you c a n ' t tell for sure."

25-Year Retirement
For Police and
Groups Becomes Law
Spcclal to The LEADER
ALBANY, April 23—Governor
Dewey signed tlie Huits bill
amending the Civil Service law in
relation to optional retirement of
members of municipal Are departments or police forces. It permits
members of the State Employees
Retirement System who are members of organized municipal fire
departments or police forces or
departments, to elect on or before
Jan. 1, 1947, to contribute for
retirement attainable after 25
years of service.
In a memorandum Governor
Dewey said that the bill confers
on members an option t h a t would
be mandated upon the municipalities of the State by a bill disapproved by him the same day
(A.L 188).
Home Rule Principle
"Moreover," he continued, "this
measure goes f u r t h e r t h a n the bill
disapproved by me in t h a t it confers upon such municipalities t h e
additional option to elect to pay
all or any portion of the additional
cost of such earlier retirement.
"This measure is actuarially
sound. It imposes no additional
burden upon the State except insofar as annuity tables and interest rates t h a t are used in the
system are especially beneficial to
its members. I t imposes no burden
upon any municipality unless t h a t
municipality chooses to assume
such burden. This bill is, therefore, in complete accordance with
the principles of home rule and
the philosophy of strong and
responsible local government for
which we in this State stand."
The measure was sponsored by
Senator William S. Hults, Jr.,
Naussau County Republican.

ALBANY, April 23—A bill to
provide for the protection of State
employees who have been in the
Federalized United States Employment Service h a s been signed by
Governor Dewey. Earlier bills h a d
provided t h a t such employment
would have received their Federal
salaries on return to State service,
but the measure which was finally
approved, after protests by State
employees against earlier bills,
grants the returnees only the same
advantages in salary as if they
had remained in State service.
The bill, introduced by Senator
William Condon (R., Westchester)
protects only those employees who
h a d permanent competitive State
status at the time when the DPAI
was federalized
As for persons newly hired by
the USES, the bill states t h a t they
shall "as f a r as practicable be
continued in their current positions and salaries."
Board Has Final O.K.
The State Civil Service Commission will scan the promotions
made during federalization and
will allow promotions granted
under conditions which approximate the conditions required for
promotion in the State service,
without recourse to examination.
The concluding section of the
new law provides:
"The State Civil Service Commission may adopt and promulgate such rules relating t o examinations, eligibility of employees
of the United States Employment
Service to compete in examinations, aivd certification of lists
established as the result of examinations to fill vacancies in the
division of placement and imemployment
insurance
involving
resumed fimctions, as may be
necessary in order to comply with
requirements imposed by the Congress of the United States for the
return of the employment service
functions to the states."

ALBANY, April 23—Governor
Dewey approved two bills amending the State Civil Service law:
The Ostertag bill, continuing
until July I, 1947 a provision permitting a member of the State
Employees Retirement System absent on military duty, to borrow
all except $1 of his funds in the
System.
The Sellmayer bill, permitting
a member of the Retirement System on or before July 1, 1947, to
notify the State Comptroller of
his intention to claim credit
during leave of absence for federal service or war work.
Vetoed were the Hults bill,
which would have required additional contributions of members
of the Retirement System electing
to retire at the age of 55, after
20 years of service if paid within
two years instead of one year from
date of election.
He also vetoed the Quinn bill,
which would have provided that
officers and employees of the I n ternal Revenue Bureau of the
United States treasury department, if legal residents of New
York State, would be eligible to
membership or continue membership in the State Retirement
System.
