ALBANY, Dec. 31 — The Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., now fully
launched as a State-wide civil service employee group and accepting in its membership workers in State,.counyt, city, town, village and district units, is already engaged
in a vigorous campaign to carry out the objectives of the association "to extend the
principle of merit and fitness in public employment and to advance the interests of

eral economy, as a policy of the
incoming Congress, is bound to
affect U. S. employees, especially
as Republicans who will hold key
committee places are openly economy-minded.
The
employee
organizations
have made a study of probabilities and recognize that they will
be kept steadily busy trying to
prevent the enactment of measures that woul dbe injurious to
government operations and the
morale of employees. They realize
that reductions in force will take
place, but they want these restricted to the minimum and based
on rational appraisals.
The committee situation is as
follows:
Representative John Taber will
be Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, a key
spot, and he seeks reduction of
ehe Federal rolls by 1,000,000
more employees.
Senator Joseph H. Ball, of
Minnesota, will be an influential
member, if not chairman, of the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
He is co-author of the no-strike
rider in appropriations made by
the last Congress.
Representative Clare Hoftman,
of Michigan, probably will head
the House Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Department. He has been strict-ecouomy-minded for a long time, and
openly so.
While Senator Harry Flood
Byrd, of Virginia, being a Democrat, will lose the chairmanship
of the Committee on Non-Essential Federal Expenditures, his
presence will be felt as a member,
and besides he shares the economy
view of Republicans expected to
be on the Committee. Nobody is
out front yet for the chairmanfihip.

Throughout the months following a meeting on June 11, 1946,
when delegates from many county
and city groups met at the DeWitt
Clinton Hotel, cited the great need
for an independent association of
public workers and expressed complete confidence in the type of organization exemplified in the Association of State Civil Service
Employees, the members of the
State Association discussed earnestly the expansion which is now
a fact. Delegates took action at
two important meetings of the
State Association, held on June 25
and October 15.
New Members Welcome
With the approval of reorganization of the State Association by
the Board of Standards and Appeals of the Labor Department
and the incorporation under the
new name, Association headquarters has moved rapidly to perfect
the machinery to Inform civil
service employees of 57 counties,
60 cities, 625 incorporated villages,

HealtK Inspector
Exam to Be Rushed
Commissioner Joseph A. McNamara has requested speedy action on holding the NYC written
examination for Health Inspector. The Civil Service Commis-
sion is expected to aonouuce the
any dfty now.
The period for the receipt of applications for the
position of Patrolman (P.D.)
has been reopened by NYC.
Candidates may apply now
and until 4 p.m. on Monday,
January 13, at the Civil
Service Commission, 96 Duane Street, NYC.
The pay offered is higher by
$400 a year, because of the raise
voted by the Board of Estimate.
This cost-of-living bonus, added
to the previous $350, plus the $2,150 base pay. brings the total to
$2,900 a year, or nearly $56 a
week.
Samuel H. Galston, In charge
of the Civil Service Commissioner's Examining Division, estimated
that the written test will be held
by early March. The test would
have been held in February, only
the reopening required exteriSion
of the time by at least two weeks.
The Police Department is figuring on a quota of 20,00 Patrolman,
which adds about 3,000 more jobs

Patrolwoman Test
Expected in Spring
The examination for the position of Patrolwoman, ordered
by the NYC Civil Service Commission on October 29, last, will be
held as soon as possible, the Commission said, but there has been
no change in the exam status
since that date.
Other examinations are taking
up the Commission's full time,
particularly Patrolman (P.D.), for
which applications are now being
received, and investigations of eligibles, such as Fireman eligibles.

was said, probably would not be

Federal Veteran Preference
All veterans who apply for Federal examinations are entitled to
preference, consisting in general of 10 points extra for a disabled
veteran and 5 points for a non-disabled vetewn. Moreover, in addition, veterans disabled 10 per cent or more may have past exams
opened to them.
In the examination, the earned points and premium points
are added, and if the total is a passing mark the disabled veteran
goes to the top of the list; the non-disabled does not. The nondisabled takes precedence only over a non-veteran of equal total
score. For scientific and professional jobs paying $3,000 or more
the veterans get their extra points, but the disabled do not go to
the top of the list.

Conclusion
Your committee h a s endeavored
to be very realistic in Its deliberations on the matter of salary a d justments. We have carefully considered the requests of the various agencies and employee groups.
We have also been mindful of t h e
financial limitations of the City.
It is our opinion t h a t the plan
we have recommended is the f a i r est t h a t could be presented under
existing conditions. We are confident t h a t t h e vast majority of
our employees will recognize t h a t
your administration is making a
genuine effort To
maintaining their living standards
in this unsettled period.

I t is impossible a t this ticne to
precisely estimate how much current eGneral Fund revenues will
amount to. We do believe income
will exceed estimates. We do n o !
know what receiiits will be next
year, nor do we know what assessed valuations will be and hence
cannot say to what extent tho
tax rate will rise.
Several of the employee gi-oups
expressed t h e opinion that receipts for the fiscal year ending
J u n e 30, 1947 from sales tax a n d
other special taxes would exceed
the Comptroller's estimate by a t
least $40,000,000. They, therefore,
contended t h a t a t least this
amount of money was available
for salary increases during t h e
current year. However, it should
be realized t h a t if this amount
were obtained, and used for salary
Increases there would be no balance whatsoever remaining in t h e
General Fund on J u n e 30, 1947.
The effect of this would be t h a t

Average Veteran Case
Veterans who come to t h e u n i t
for guidance are r e f e r r e d t h e r e
u n d e r Public Law 346 of t h e G I
Bill of Rights, or u n d e r Public
Law 16 in t h e case of disabled
servicemen. E x t e n t a n d severity
of physical i m p a i r m e n t , t h e lack
of pre-service e m p l o y m e n t
or
vocational skills a n d t h e loss of
incentive, because of combat experience, m u s t be t a k e n i n t o ac-
count by t h e vocational unit. Dr.
Long says.
Dr. Daniel P. Brophy, D e a n of
S t u d e n t s a t City College, says t h a t
the average v e t e r a n is 251/2 years
old, spent slightly over two years
in t h e a r m e d forces a n d h a s t h e
equivalent of t h r e e years of h i g h
school education. T h e average disabled v e t e r a n is receiving a p e n sion for 40 per cent disability. Of
t h e disabled veteran, over 40 per
cent suffer f r o m psychoneurotic
disorders.
V e t e r a n s who have received
counseling c a n either receive o n t h e - j o b t r a i n i n g or a t t e n d e d u c a tional institutions. According to
Dr. Long, t h e steady rise in t h e
cost of living h a s caused m a n y
veterans t o t h i n k m o r e of t h e i r
i m m e d i a t e economic needs t h a n of
a p l a n n e d f u t u r e . Some servicem e n s t a r t on a course of t r a i n i n g
a n d t h e n are forced to d r o p out
of classes to t a k e jobs which will
help t h e m t o m e e t increased fiiiancial responsibilities a n d
llvlpg
costs.
Achievements of v e t e r a n s who
r e m a i n in t h e i r course of training,
however, are very favorable. Dr.
Long m a i n t a i n s . A s t u d y m a d e
recently of t h e m a r k s of 25 typical
v e t e r a n college s t u d e n t s reveals
t h a t t h e i r g r a d e s are f a r above
t h e average of a similar g r o u p of
n o n - v e t e r a n s t u d e n t s , h e says.

LEADER
BENNETT LIFTS STAFF MORALE
Deputy NYC Mayor During Year as Corporation Counsel
Cot Record Raises and Promotions for Employees
Compelled by circumstances to
struggle for a living himself In
the early days of his career, John
J. Bennett, New York City's New
Deputy Mayor, not only has retained a deep feeling for those
beset by economic difficulties but
has done his utmost to Improve
the working conditions and the
pay of his own public employees.
Having relinquished the important post of Corporation Counsel
to become Deputy Mayor at the
request of Mayor William O'Dwyer, he can look back to what he
has accomplished for employees
in the largest law department under one roof in the country.
Raises or promotions to almost
200 out of 603 employees are to
his credit as his record of twelve
months as head of the city's law
office. This is the largest number
of promotions and increases ever
given in one year in the history
of the Corporation Counsel's office.
The example that Mr. Bennett
has set in the Corporation's Cr»unsel's office is in line with what he
did for employees when he held
his last previous public job, Attorney General of the State, As
an indication that his efforts did
not go unappreciated, when he
was Inducted as Corporation
Counsel, by far the largest floral
piece came from employees of the
Attorney General's office. And so,
too, veterans appreciate what he
has done for them, for he was
Kings County Commander of the
American Legion in 1922 and SI ate
Commander in 1929-'30. The veterans, too, go all out in showing
their appreciation, and they admiringly watch the rising star of
his career.
Sympathetic Attitude
What can be accomplished in
public service by a sympatJietic
attitude toward employee problems, by exerting oneself in behalf of worthy employees, and in
ridding a public career service of
the bogey of low or medium pay,
Is well demonstrated by the Deputy
Mayor's action in his previous
jobs. An engaging fellow, who
keeps his door open to his employees regardless of rank or position, he is ever wnlling to discuss
personal and official problems, abhores red tape in employee relations and strives to make public
service not merely the equal but
the superior of private employment.
He has had abundant experience
In both, having done the most
minor tasks as well as having
been the top administrator and
he speaks just as readily about
one kind as the other. He tells
of having swept up an office, of
having been a messenger, a bookkeeper, stenographer, and a clerk,
with just as much gusto—and
maybe a little more—as, wher he
discusses his work as Attorney
General or as Corporation Counsel.
"My philosophy has always been
favorable to the public employee,"
