prevailing in 1930. I t is conscious,

Governor DeweyWrites Employees
Of Westchester, Notes Progress
To employee leader J . Allyn
S tearns has gone a letter from
Governor Tiiomas E. Dewey, indi­
cating the G overnor’s sensitivity
to employee relation s a t all levels
of Government, Mr. S tearn s is a
member of the Board of Directors
of the Civil Service Employees
A ssociation and is chairm an of the
Board fo r th e Wesvchester County
Com petitive Civil Service Associa­
tion.
The letter, which the Governor
sent to Mr. S tearns as the County
group honored County Executive
H erb ert C. Gferlach, noted th a t
“public employees of the S tate
have gained a rem arkable posi­
tion.”
The Governor’s statem ent read
in p a r t:
'
“I am hap py t- send w arm g ree t­
ings to th e members of the W est­
chester County Ck>mpetitive Civil
Service A ssociation on th e occa­
sion of th e ir 1948 Dinner in honor
of H erb ert C. Gerlach, the dis­
tinguished
W estchester
County
Executive.
“A proper appreciation of the
high caliiber and accomplishments
of the W estchester County Execu­
tive is fitting and timely. In one
capacity o r another he has served
m any of the communities of the
CJounty in the m ost able fashion,
His experience has been so wide
th a t th ere is not a problem in
the County w ith which he had not
become fam iliar. His choice as
County Executive was theiefore
a m ost logical one and the events
of his incumbency have proved
its wisdom. W estchester County
today is a leader among the coun­
ties of the S tate and its public
debt has been substantially re­
duced under the administration
of Mr. Gerlach.
Public Employment
“I cannot let this occasion pass
w ithout also congratulating the
W estchester County Competiiive
Civil Service Association upon the
fine rei^utation it has earned by
its record of achievement. 1 am
exceedingly proud th at since the
Republican administration took
office a t A lbany in 1943, public
employees in our State have
gained
a rem arkable position
with the consequence that public
employment today is most at­
tractive. I am surr; that this pol­
icy has paid off many fold, in
happier employees who have re­
sponded w ith increased enthusia.sm
and devotion to the service. The
people of the S tate owe much to
the men and women who work in
their emiploy.”

r ^ H E S E ARE busy days for the growei’s of things. To
-I- reap in the fall, a long process of plowing, planting,
cultivating and spraying is essential. A good harvest does
not come by chance but by continued hai’d work.
This is the planting season for ideas as well as for veg­
etables. Now is the time to prepare the soil for the harvest
time of The Civil Service Employees Association next fall
and winter.
Election time is alwaj^s im portant to the Association
and to each of its members and this year it is a time of
unusual importance. The farm er buys tested seed and plants.
He does not ju st plant any old seed. As citizens, we have
a privilege and a duty to do our full share in selecting and
in electing honest, able and forward-looking men to the State
Legislature as well as to Congress and to administrative po­
sitions.
N ext LegUlaiure of Great Imporianee
As officers and members of the Association we have an
opportunity to cultivate the acquaintance of our Repre­
sentatives and to lay a firm foundation for future under­
standing and mutual respect as w'ell as increased knowledge
of civil service law and principles.
The next Legislature will have decisions to make th at
will determine the future of civil service for years to come.
Most important are the two veterans preference extension
proposals. I do not propose to discuss veteran preference
amendments here. It is, I think, clear th at the present con­
stitutional provisions and the confused administration of
the preference provisions satisfy no one, least of all the vet^
erans in the civil service. The veterans in the Association
have a particularly im portant role in the campaign for the
fairest possible solution of this difficult civil service problem.

So you see w hat can happen?
W h at T he Law Says
Now le t’s have a look a t w hat
th e law says. I t isn’t difficult re a d ­
ing:
Section 30 of the Civil Service
Law, states:
“Every person employed by the
sta te or any of its civil subdivi­
sions and cities, except laborers in
th e exem pt class . . . or in th e la ­
bor class . . . , before he shall be
entitled to en ter upon th e dis­
charge of any of his duties, shall
ta k e and file an oath or affirm a­
tion in the form and language
prescribed by the constitution for
executive, legislative and judicial
officers . . . T he oath of every
sta te employee shall be filed in the
office of the secretary of state, of
every employee of a m unicipal
corporation with the clerk thereof
an d of every other officer, if no
place be otherwise provided by
law, in the office of the clerk of
th e county in which he shall re­
side. T he failure of such em ploy­
ee to take and file such oath shall
te rm in a te his employment until
sucli oath shall be taken and
filed . . . ”
I t ’s a M isdemeanor
J. Leslie W innie, a LEADER
M erit M an who is representative
of th e C hem ung ch a p te r of the
Civil Service Employees Associa­
tion, looked into this m a tte r a
little more deeply. And he located
a n o th e r law (Section 1820 of the
Penal Law) which is even tougher.
I t sa.vs: ‘‘A person who executes
any of th e functions of a public
office w ithout having taken and
duly filed th e required o ath of
office, or w ithout having executed
and duly filed the required securitj', as pre.scribed by law, is guilty
of a m isdem eanor.” And he found
a law case which gave the flat
conclusion: "A conviction under
th is .section is followed by le mova! from office.”
Wide Neglect Found
A check-up by T he LEADER
finds wide ignorance of th e o ath
requirem ent. T here can be no
que.stion th a t a great m any e m ­
ployees have been remiss in filing
th e ir oaths.
T he S ecretary of S tate h a s n ’t
any idea if all S tate employees
file, as th ey are .^uppo.sed to. T he
S ta te C om ptroller’s Office says
th e re is no way of checking
w h eth er employees have filed th e
o ath or not, and th a t there is no
check-up on this when payrolls
are m ade up.
Various county clerk offices
checked th ro u g h th e S tate were
unable to say w hether or not all
I county employees file. In R ich ­
m ond, employees of the D istrict
I A tto rn ey ’s Office w eren’t on file in
i the County Clerk’s office. In New
I York County, th e County Clerk
I could find no record of oaths
I from employees of th e S urrogate
j Court. Officials of various county
an d village offices w eren’t sure
w hether or not all their employees
h ad filed oaths. The sam pling cer­
tainly indicates th a t com pliance
w ith th e law is .spotty.
Do I t Now!
Advice to all employees, th e re ­
fore, is this: Take your o ath of

Court Deals a Blow
To Promotion Favoritism
h e d e c i s i o n of the Court of Appeals, in the case in­
volving the assignment of one of the Medical Examiners
of the NYC Board of Education to “be in charge of the
medical staff of the Board,” has far-reaching implications in
its relation to promotions in the civil service. It is the first
time since adoption of the civil service constitutional pro­
vision of 1891, providing for appointments and promotions
on a basis of merit and fitness after competitive examina­
tion, th at the highest court of the State has ruled on what
constitutes a “promotion” outside of the regular graded po­
sitions.
In 1942, the Board of Education established the position
of Chief Medical Examiner and both the Board and the
Civil Service Commission agreed to fill it after competitive
examination. Because of w ar conditions the examination
was postponed and Dr. Conboy, who had been serving as
an Examining Physician at $4,000, was designated to serve
provisionally (temporarily) as Chief Medical Examiner at
J{;7,r)00. He served as such until June, 1946, when the Board,
confronted with the requirement for filling the position
peimanently through a competitive examination, purported
to abolish the position of Chief Medical Examiner. The
Board reinstated Dr. Conboy to his old position of Exam­
ining Physician at $4,000. On the same day it assigned him
to be in charge of the medical staff of the Board, to perform
the identical duties ho had been performing as Chief Medical
Examiner, and at the same salary of $7,500.
T
K fjo c l Is to P reven t Evasiona
The appointment was attacked by the Civil Service Refoj’m Association as an evasion of the State Constitution
and the civil service law. The Court of Appeals, overruling
the lower courts, held that where a position involves an
“advance in income and in professional responsibility and
prestige, it is certainly a ‘promotion’ in every fair sense
of that word” as contemplated by the constitution and the
civil service law. The Civil Service Employees Association
had submitted a bi’ief to the Court of Appeals illustrating
the “ti’an sp aren f natuie of the action by the Board of
Education.
The ultimate effect of the decision in the Conboy case
is to prevent evasions of competition, either open-compet­
itive or pi'omotion, in the higher professional, scientific,
teclinical and administrative positions where there is no
maximum salary limit (ungraded position).* The practice
of assigning some favoi’ed employee to assume the duties
of a higher position with increased salary to avoid compet­
itive promotion will now be subject to judicial scrutiny.
For example, had the recent proposed bill in the Legis­
lature to authorize the NYC Fire Commissioner to select
any Deputy Fire Chief to act as Chief of Department,
witliout regard to the civil service rules, been adopted, the
law would have been unconstitutional under the terms of
the Court of Appeals decision in the Conboy caseThe LEADER in an editorial, when the Appellate Divi­
sion rendered a decision upholding the Board of Education’s
action, pointed out the danger to the m erit system and the
inconsistency with the constitution and emphasized the
soundness of Justice Bernard Shientag’s dissenting opinion.
How Valuable Is
Employee Organization?
UST n o w valuable is organization of public employees?
An excellent capsule case history is th at of the em­
ployees in St. Lawrence County. That county has long been
behind most other counties oi the State in the treatm ent
of employees.
Then they organized into The Civil Service Employees
Association.
,
Witliin a relatively few months, they —
J. Achieved a raise in p a y ;
2. Gained entrance into the State Retirement System;
3. Won a legal case bringing up the salary of an em­
ployee who had been short-changed by the city of Ogdensburg.
The lesson to all unorganized public workers is clear.

Action Pledged
On U.S. Raises
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON, M ay 17— U. S. employees are dis­
appointed and worried over the lack of action on F ederal
pay increase bills. However, Republican leaders have ex­
plained th a t pressure of urgent bills involving national
pre))arednesH and foreign aid necessitated postponem ent
of action, but without injuriously affecting the likelihood
of enactment,
Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Speaker of the House, said th a t
Congress may sit during the period between th e end of
the Republican national convention and the opening of
the Democratic convention, to cope with the ja m of bills,
including those th a t -would raise pay. He said th a t a
priority rating is being given to the pay bills.

top group, non-di.sabled veterans
nex t an d non -veterans last. T he
eligibles in each group are placed
in th e order of th e ir final average
percentages am ong themselves.
T he v eteran preference law will
afford p rim a ry preference to v et­
erans w ith a disability ra tin g of
10 p ercent or more. V eterans w ith
zero percen t disability rating , i.e.,
less th a n 10 percent, will be In­
cluded am ong th e non-disabled
veterans. Tho.se who served in th e
arm ed forces d urin g w ar are

m eet

requirem ents.
Those who enlisted or were d r a f t­
ed a fte r S eptem ber 2, 1945 are
not g ran te d veteraji preference,
because of a S ta te law, w hich so
provides, b ut th e law is being dis­
puted on co nstitu tio n al grounds
in connection w ith o th e r lists.
W hatever re.sult will accrue from
th a t te st will apply to other ex ­
am inations, including th e F irem an

Reservations Specified
T he official notice of ex am in a­
tion set fo rth th e following con­
cerning th e m edical an d physical
tests:
"T he com petitive physical tests
will be designed to te st com peti­
tively th e stren g th , agility, s ta m ­
ina and en d u ran ce of candidates.
. . . Medical ex am ination m ay be
required p rio r to th e physical test
and th e Commission reserves th e
rig h t to exclude from th e physical
test any ca n d id a te who is found
medically u n fit.”
T he m edical test, in general,
relates to th e condition of th e or­
gans of th e body. T he physical
test is addre.ssed to stren g th , agil­
ity, etc., as sta te d in th e qu ota­

requirem ents is 20/20 Snellen vi­

Physicals Probably in Septem ber
T he d ates for th e m edical and
physical tests h ave not bet'n set,
b u t th e M edical-Physical Bureau,
of w hich P aul M. B re n n a n is D i­
rector, expects th e medicals to
s ta r t th e week of August 8 and
th e physicals to be held in Sep­
tem ber. This is based on th e a.ssum ption t h a t th e m edical and
physical tests for th e com bined
exam ination for T ra n sit P a tro l­
m an, Bridge an d T u nn el Officer
and Correction Officer will be held
ahead of those for F irem an.
(The official m edical an d phys­
ical rules were published in the
M arch 2 and 9 issues).
T he w ritten te st h as a weight
of 50, and so h as th e physical
test, in w hich th e pass m ark is
also 70 per cent. T h e equal
w eights m ean t h a t th e w ritten
and th e physical co un t equally,
t h a t th e m ark s are averaged to
produce th e final result, but a
m inim um of 70 p ercent is r e ­
quired in each. F o r instance, a
m ark of 68 percent in th e w ritten
test can no t be averaged w ith
72 percen t or hig h er in th e ph y s­
ical test, to produce a m inim um of
70 percent. T h e candidate, no t
having a tta in e d 70 percent in the
w ritten, is no t p erm itte d to take
th e physical, an d even if by error
he were so p erm itted , he would
be ruled cut later.
T he medical te.st is qualifying
only- -no percentage m arks. The
{■andidate is m arked Qualified or
Not Qualified.
Li.st of About 4.000
From the n a tu re of th e exam ­
ination it is expected th a t th e
(digible list will consist of about
4.000 nam es. The.se will be pub­
lished, in due course, by the Com­
mission in th e order, of relative
stand in g by percentages, b u t no t

H orse players got a jo lt from a

been left a t th e post.
T he question concerned a gen­

'The question:
“22. As a n an nouncer, you are
doing color on a horse race b ro ad ­
cast. Your job is to set th e scene,
and in trod uce an expert who will
call th e race. Shortly a fte r he
takes th e air, th e expert develops
th ro a t difficulties and c a n n o t con­
tinue. You yourself are no t well
versed in horse racing. U nder th e
circum stances, th e procedure you
should ad op t is to (A) direct your
tech nician to pick up th e public
address an n o u n c e r’s description of
th e events; (B) fill w ith general
color m aterial, n o t including th e
race, on th e ch a n ce th a t your ex ­

O bjection F lashes on B oard

board by can didates who bet on
(A).
T he Com mission is told by these
c an d id ates t h a t a n anno un cer
“no t well versed in horse rac in g ”
sh o u ld n ’t a tte m p t to sub.stitute for
an expert, w hen th e listeners
have been led to expect horse news
from a m a n who knows th e
horses, th e ir sires, dam s, jockeys,
weights, odds an d p ast p erfo rm ­
ances. T h e race is over in a jiffy,
even on a sloppy track, yet is th e
fea tu re t h a t th e audience w ants
m ost to h e a r about, and in d ra m a ­
tic, ac cu ra te detail. W hy d isa p ­
po int th e audience, w hen it can
be well served by th e calls of th e
tra c k an n o u n cer, picked u p from
th e public address system, of th e
horses’ positions a t th e poles, and
th e in cid ental, staccato descrip­
tion t h a t accom panies the shifts
of relative positions? And th e
drive down th e back stretch , on
which decision often h ang s—how
can th e novice a t racing cope w ith

“35. You are an no un cing a spe­

fe a tu re a recording of a n eye­
w itness description of the assassin a to n of M a h a tm a G h and i. Y our
in tro d u c to ry rem ark s po in t Cip th e
im p o rtan ce of th is recording.
W hile you are reading th e in tro ­
duction, you see th e engineer in
th e con trol-room waving f r a n ti­
cally. If, as you continue your in ­
troduction, you see th e e sg in e e r
holding up bits of a broken record,
you should (A) announce t h a t th is
recording is expected m om entarily
an d th a t, until such tim e as it is
available, you will continue w ith
news copy; la te r in th e broadcast,
apologize for n o t having th e r e ­

(C) stop w here you are an d ask

K ey answer, D.
P ro te stin g cand idates th in k A is
th e rig h t answ er, because a n a n ­
no un cer ju s t c a n ’t go ru sh in g
a io u n d in blind search for p e rtien t sub.stitute m aterial. T h e re ’s no
likelihood of its existence in th e
studio. Even if he found some,
h e ’d have lost his b re a th an d
cou ld n ’t an no un ce properly. Also
th e audience th a t expected a news
broad cast would be disappointed
to h e a r m usic instead.
O bjections are m ade principally
to those key answers an d 11 m ore

word in th e jargon of the

key ansyer (C). In rebuttal

McGill, netw ork director am
ducer, in his book “Radio

absorbing screen” or a
screen,” says one protest,
is n o t referred to as being sy
mous w ith a character in

t o r ) ; a filter booth, an isoscreen or th e technical nan
an echo cham ber. That’s wh
objection is and the Cornu
