ALBANY, Oct. 1—Employees generally hailed the announcement of Budget Director John E. Burton concerning
the five-day, 40-hour week to be instituted in State service,
and were resigned to the necessary waiting period before
the achievement actually takes full effect.

a little earlier, to m a k e possible
t h e completion of 40 h o u r s w i t h i n
five days of any given week.
T h e Association of S t a t e Civil

of t h e most n o t a b l e in recent
S t a t e history, was acknowledged
by Budget Director B u r t o n , r e ported t h a t t h e general reaction
of employees was favorable, a n d
t h a t t h e d e p a r t m e n t a l service was
e n t h u s i a s t i c about t h e a s s u r a n c e
of a five-day week soon.
S o m e of t h e employees were
confused by s t a t e m e n t s of a labor

3 CANDIDATES FOR ASSN. EXECUTIVE BOARD
The State
Employee
By Frank L, Tolman
President, The Association of Slate
Civil Service Employees and Member
Employees' Merit Award Board
Civil Service Planks in the Platforms
Of the Republican and Democratic Parties
^
BOTH MAJOR political parties have adopted civil service pledges
to the people in their 1946 platforms. Both parties pledge allegiance
to the principle of merit and fitness, and non-political appointments
in the public service of the State.
As always, the '"outs" criticize t h e "ins" on their record of appointments. As alway.s the "ins" defend their record and promise to
continue in t h e path of rectitude and high purpose if continued in
office.
T h e p a r t y in power would "modernize" the merit system to offer
> increased opportunity to the ablest civil servants to advance in t h e
S t a t e service and would encourage recruiting f r o m the ablest citizens
without any discrimination.
T h e party seeking power promises t h e elimination of exempt
positions created by the present administration and the "liberalization" of promotions.
As to the retirement system, the party In power promises to provide economic security through an actuarially sound system, humanely
administered. T h e party seeking power promises liberalization of the
retirement system to include sound social security concepts.

WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

By THEODORE BECKER
The Basis for Skipping Disabled Veterans
R E C E N T discussion of t h e p r a c tice of some a p p o i n t i n g ofllcprs in
skipping t h e n a m e of t h e top disabled v e t e r a n on a list a n d a p pointing t h e second or t h i r d
disabled v e t e r a n shows t h a t the
Impression t h a t t h e practice was
highly improper if n o t actually
u n l a w f u l existed a m o n g some veterans. B u t p a s t a t t e m p t s to give
p r e f e r e n c e to t h e t o p disabled
v e t e r a n have not always been
successful.
Attorney-General's Opinion
T h a t t h e practice of selecting
one of t h e first t h r e e disabled
v e t e r a n s on a list willing to accept
a p p o i n t m e n t is lawful is now quite
clear. A dozen years ago, however, t h i s proposition was f a r f r o m
c e r t a i n . I n f a c t , a regulation of
t h e S t a t e Civil Service Commission t h e n In force s t a t e d :
" W h e n m o r e t h a n one on a n
eligible list is entitled to p r e f e r ence, t h e one receiving t h e highest
r a t i n g shall receive first p r e f e r ence, a f t e r which t h e others shall
receive p r e f e r e n c e in t h e order of
their ratings."
This meant that appointing
officers h a d n o recourse but to
a p p o i n t disabled v e t e r a n s in 1-2-3
order down t h e list.
W h e n t h e legality of t h i s regulation was challenged in 1934 t h e
opinion of t h e A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l
was solicited. Citing . t h e provisions of Section 14 of t h e Civil
Service Law requiring a p p o m t m e n t s in t h e competitive clas.s to
be m a d e " f r o m a m o n g
those
graded highest In open competitive e x a m i n a t i o n s , " the AttorneyG e n e r a l s t a t e d t h a t in his opinion
t h i s was intended to give t h e a p pointing officer a right to exercise
his choice of selecting one of the
two or t h r e e disabled veterans
whose n a m e s were certified to
him. He felt t h a t this opinion was
supported by t h e Court of Appeals
case in which a s t a t u t e requiring
" t h e a p p o i n t m e n t of those graded
h i g h e s t " was declared u n c o n s t i t u tional, because it deprived local
a u t h o r i t i e s of t h e power of selection i n h e r e n t in t h e i r c o n s t i t u tional power of a p p o i n t m e n t
Regulation Modified
O n t h e basis of this opinion of
the A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l , t h e S t a t e
Civil Service Commission a m e n d e d
its regulation on t h e subject. This
regulation now reads as follows:
" P r e f e r e n c e on eligible lists
shall be given first to disabled
v e t e r a n s a n d t h e n to non-disabled
veterans. W h e n a n eligible list
c o n t a i n s t h e n a m e s of more t h a n

State's Five-Day Week
A Welcome Reform
P
ATIENCE is difficult to bridle when a well-deserved
gain is won and a necessary period must elapse before
its actual effectuation, but the vast majority of the State
employees have shown, through representatives, that they
have the required sense of realities in connection with the
live-day, 40-hour week in State service.
Fii'st this gain is to be accomplished for the departments, with overtime provisions later; next in line come
the institutions, now governed by existing law providing
f o r a 48-hour week, with overtime provisions based thereon.
A statutoiy amendment is necessaiy f o r their overtime
r e a d j u s t m e n t and for departmental overtime.
The legal aspects of the whole topic are well expressed
by John T. DeGraff, Counsel to the Association of State
Civil Sei'vice Employees, in the opinion he rendered at the
request of The LEADER, [p. 1.]
The question of what can be accomplished under existing law, and what statutory amendments are necessary, is
not open to debate, whatever may be said to the contrary
by gratuitous informants of less legal attainment. A waiting period is required, but it need not be over-long. The
Association officers and counsel are working hard to reduce the time gap to its shortest possible period.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY BURTON
The fact t h a t Budget Director John E. Burton declared
in his statement announcing the great gain f o r State workers
that the Civil Service Commission, the Salary Standardization Board and the Budget Director's office ''have been
woi-lving for some time with the Association . . . to bring
about uniform State depai-tmental attencjance rules" and
extension of gains to the institutional service, leaves no
room f o r even raising any doubt as to which employee
group earned credit f o r t h e achievement of t h e r e f o r m .
The Association's contrribution to the gain a d d s to a long
list of projects it attained, and augurs glowingly on behalf
of equitable and liberal working conditions, hours, pay
and pensions.
NYC Board on Toes;
Exams Move Fast
n e w spirit of vitality is reflected in the curi-ent activA
ities of the NYC Civil Service Commission. With one
large Patrolman examination just finished, the Commission
immediately proceeded with another Patrolman examination, scheduled to open November 15.
At the same time, the Fireman examination is expeditiously nearing completion, with the Physical examinations in progress. Also, a Health Inspector examination is
being started.
All this reflects credit on the new administration under
t h e leadership of President F e r d i n a n d Q. Morton and on
Commissioners Joseph A. M c N a m a r a and Esther Bromley.

,
B e h i n d t h e whole question of w h e t h e r t h e Commission s h o u l d
fix t h e n u m e r i c a l pass m a r k in a d v a n c e or tlie c a n d i d a t e s s h o u l d
d e t e r m i n e it in t h e e x a m i n a t i o n , a r e t h r e e p r i n c i p a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s :
1. T h e success of the short-list m e t h o d depends on t h e reliability,
of t h e e s t i m a t e of t h e n u m b e r of vacancies, a n d t h e g r a d u a l a b s o r p tion of eligibles. Sudden absorption, while e n t r a n c i n g to eligibles
whose a p p o i n t m e n t is expected, t e n d s to e x h a u s t t h e list b e f o r e j
expected, a n d leave the Civil Service Commission w i t h o u t m e a n s of
c e r t i f y i n g eligibles.
2. T h e s h o r t - l i s t m e t h o d , while improving the opportunities f o r
those released lately, or yet to be released f r o m t h e a r m e d f o r c e s ,
to t a k e r e c u r r i n g e x a m i n a t i o n s , does not increase a t all t h e n u m b e r
of j o b o p p o r t u n i t i e s for veterans. If all eligibles are to be a p p o i n t e d ,
a veteran, even a disabled v e t e r a n , h a s no g r e a t e r c e r t a i n t y of
a p p o i n t m e n t t h a n a n o n - v e l e r a n . T h e only difference is t h a t t h e
disabled v e t e r a n s , if qualified, a r e appointed first, t h e n o n - d i s a b l e d J
v e t e r a n s n e x t , a n d the n o n - v e t e r a n s last. T h u s a v e t e r a n gets
a p p o i n t e d sooner, b u t not m o r e certainly. T h e long-list m e t h o d ,
producing a n eligible list exceeding t h e n u m b e r of a p p o i n t m e n t s ,
increases job o p p o r t u n i t i e s for veterans, whose p r e f e r e n c e r i g h t s
practically wipe o u t n o n - v e t e r a n s ' c h a n c e s of a p p o i n t m e n t . I p r e d i c t
t h a t n o t one n o n - v e t e r a n on t h e 1947 P a t r o l m a n eligible list will be
appointed as a P a t r o l m a n .
3. T h e s h o r t list m e t h o d leaves a disgruntled wake of c a n d i d a t e s
who passed all p a r t s of t h e e x a m i n a t i o n , yet were failed, because ^
t h e i r r a t i n g s were lower t h a n t h a t of t h e deciding c a n d i d a t e ' s . If
t h e difference was very small t h e howl would be very large. Also,
it was h a r d to convince those t h u s disappointed t h a t t h e y were f a i r l y
t r e a t e d in being failed in a n e x a m i n a t i o n t h a t , to t h e i r way of
t h i n k i n g , t h e y really pas.sed. However, a r o u n d 90 per cent of t h o s e
who lost by a n a r r o w m a r g i n , a f t e r passing all p a r t s of t h e test.s
but not t h e whole, would be veterans, especially in a n e x a m i n a t i o a
for Police, Fire or Correction jobs, where t h e eligibility age is distinctly in t h e y o u t h categoiy. .

T h e opinion points out t h a t section 8 of t h e Selective T r a i n i n g
a n d Service g r a n t s two s e p a r a t e
a n d distinct rights t o a governm e n t employee who entered t h e

to p r o t e c t i o n against discharge
without c a u s e for one year a f t e r
his r e t u r n .
T h e A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l said:
"Congress recognized t h a t t h e
right to reemployment would be
nullified if t h e employer were a l lowed t o discharge t h e v e t e r a n
immediately a f t e r his reemploym e n t . T h e a p p a r e n t purpose of
t h e prohibition a g a i n s t discharge
for one year was to insure s t a b ility of e m p l o y m e n t for a sufficient
period a f t e r the v e t e r a n ' s r e t u r n

Congress regarded t h e first year

period of r e a d j u s t m e n t . . . . I n
order to c a r r y out this i n t e n t it

otherwise would largely nullify t h e
