His conclusion is t h a t R a n k in ’s

exactly in to th e “legal co n stru c­

visions of th e R e tirem en t Law.

case for th e S tate, disagrees. He
says t h a t u n d e r decisions of th e
C ourt of Appeals, an d in intei-pretation s of accident insu rance poli­
cies, th e re m u st be a clear case
of a n accident. “T h e re ’s n o th ing
ex tra o rd in ary ,” Mr. R y a n says,
“abo ut a te m p e ra tu re of 18 d e­
grees below zero a t L ake Placid
in D ecem ber.” And he c a n ’t see
w h at h ap p e n ed to th e c a r as an
“acciden t.” H e also points to th e
h isto ry of R a n k in ’s pneum o-thora x to conclude t h a t th e tu b e rc u ­
losis of th e le ft lung could have
been re-activated. As for th e ph y­
sicians, it is his opinion th a t they
w ent beyond th e ir jurisdiction in
determ inin g th e n a tu re of an “a c ­

T he case w as argued last week

WHERE WOMEN EXCEL
NE of the facts of hum an behavior th a t has always
interested me relates to the a r t of m eeting and igreeting official visitors to any office or gathering.
M any of these visitors are strangers. Some carry
obvious chips on their shoulders. Many have to w ait fo r
considerable periods for attention and a few are ju st spoil­
ing for a fight.
Behind the door in the private office the boss is an x i­
ously trying to get the most pressing work done. T here
is p ap er work th a t cannot wait. There are im portant a d ­
m inistrative m atters th a t m ust be atten d ed to. There is
correspondence th a t cries fo • an im mediate answer.
How'ever well the executive may organize his work,
he is frequently in a jam . W h a t can he do to perform
the impossible ?
W hat W ill H e Do?
He is likely to do two things. He will employ a highly
efficient w'oman as his private secretary to organize his
correspondence and appointmentr:, and he will look for a
gracious hostess of appealing charm to act as receptionist
to keep the seat w arm ers happy.
In th e public service, the situation and the remedy are
much th e same. I found the problem acute more th a n 40
years ago w hen I entered State service. It is still acute,
b ut th e skilled and attractive receptionist is beginning to
adorn and to function efficiently in more and more outer
offices. U nfortunately, she is still often a clerk w ith other
duties and with little time to give to the act of m ak in g
people feel a t home. *
An English critic of A m erican behavior has claim ed
th a t this American tendency is vicious as commercializing
sex. I can’t see it th a t w ay myself. Charm and social com­
petence are gifts of God th a t m ight well be p u t to w id er
and more practical use. They help to hum anize th e cold
form alities of business relationships. They tend to b reak
down th e artificial b arriers th a t are a survival from th e
days w hen business was solely a m a n ’s world.

Raise Should Be Voted
Now for U. 5. Workers
h e bills to increase the pay of federal employees have
been revived. No time in reaching a compromise must
be lost by the sub-committees of the Senate and the House.
T h at compromise should provide a substantial increase.
Then Conprress should proceed to pass th e legislation and
President Trum an should sign it speedily.
At present the conferees are only about $100-a-year
apart. This augurs for an early agreem ent. Yet employee
organizations must in no way relax th eir effort to induce
Congress to act.
Assurances from Joe Martin, S peaker of the House,
th a t a compromise bill will enjoy priority, are most
welcome.
F ederal employees are not harm ed by th e fact th a t
this is an election year. They’re willing to give credit to
whomever earns it, but a pay increase is an issue on which
there should be no issue.
Congress must tre a t federal employees as well as it
encourage private industry and commerce to tr e a t th eir
employees. Congress now shows intention of doing so.
It should stick to this straight, tru e course.

Editor. T he LEADER:
I am a m arried m a n w ith two
children and hav e been out of
work. I ’m a college grad uate, w ith
a degi’ee in H ea lth E ducation. I
did a great deal of tem po rary
n ig h t com m unity ce n te r re c re a ­
tional work in NYC. T he pay is
$3.00 for th re e hours. Also, I ’ve
done sum m er playground work
outside of New York.
I received a n offer of a tem ­
porary sum m er position as P lay ­
ground D irector from th e P ark De­
p a rtm e n t of NYC fo r th is summer.
Being out of work and having a
fam ily to support. I n atu ra lly a c ­
cepted. T he P layground D irector
is In charge of th e p a rk and play­
ground, having a t least one L a ­
borer an d one A ssistant G ard en er
u n der him . He in.spects the
grounds an d the houses, takes care
of th e recreational equipm ent, dis­
trib u tes it for use a n d m akes sure
it is retu rn ed . He writes out a
daily reix>rt of everything. T he
hours are from noon to 9 p.m.,
w ith one day off during th e week.
F or all th is th e P layground D i­
rector gets $5.50 a day or $33 a
week for 48 hours. T he P a rk D e­
p a rtm e n t is n o t ash am ed to pay
m arried m en w ith fam ilies such
e very low wage a t tod ay’s cost
of living. J u s t because i t ’s te m ­
porary work doesn’t m ean it
fchould be a t coolie wages.
Young kids in factories or of­
fices, w ith no experience a t all,
get more m oney for only 40 hours,
and get S a tu rd a y and Sunday off.
I ’ve been read ing Tlie LEADER

R aise fo r New Employees
E ditor. T h e LEADER:
I read th e article in th e Civil
Service L eader of M ay 4 by H. J.
B e rn a rd concerning th e raise to
be given to NYC workers.
I th in k t h a t if B udget D irector
T hom as J. P a tte rs o n ’s ideas on
th e raise are his own, h e surely
did n o t give th e subject m uch
tho ug ht, especially w here Mr.
P atterso n declared t h a t th e raises
were g ra n te d to City employees
and no t to n o n -c ity employees, as
th e prospective new e n tra n ts now
are.
As I see it, as soon as a new e n ­
t r a n t is appointed, h e is a city
employee. A fter all, new employees
are replacing old ones.
I n m y previous job, all em ploy­
ees were given a 10 cents an hour
increase an d all new applicants
were given a d v a n ta g e of th e new
increase sim ply by raising all job
ra te s 10 cents above th e ir form er
base. T his sounds like a sound
business p ractice to me.
W hen I took m y exam ination, I
expected a raise in pay because of
th e rising cost of living. I t is a
moral obligation for anyone, City,
S tate, F ederal or private em ploy­
er. to pay a living wage.
Surely it costs ju s t as m uch for
a new city employee to live as it
does for one already working for
th e city especially w hen one m ust
begin a t th e sta rtin g rate.
Denial of th e raise to new en ­
tra n ts will only result in com plete
dem oralization of tho usand s of
new employees, it will rep e at th e
offense of different pay for th e
sam e work, th e cause of most
labor disputes in th e past.

th e h earin g s on charges again st
the L ac k aw a n n a Com mission; and
(3) lacked pow er to rescind th e

As to th e con tentio n of p red e­

As to th e co n ten tio n of failure
to give notice, th e C ourt held th a t
th e h e a rin g in question did n ot
directly affect th e petitioner, as
th e rescission of his app ointm en t
would h av e to be accom plished by
a n a d m in istra tiv e order, w hich
would be issued a fte r th e h earin g

As to th e th ird contention, th a t
subd. 7 of Section 11 of th e Civil
Service Law was unconstitutional,
th e C o urt p ointed out t h a t prior
to th e 1944 am en d m e n t th e re was
no provision au th orizing th e S ta te
Civil Service Commission to in ­
validate exam ination s given by
m unicipal commissions or to c a n ­
cel eligible lists established as a
result thereof. I n 1944, th is provi­
sion was am ended to provide th a t
"said sta te com m ission m ay, a t
any tim e, by unanim ous vote of
th e re com m issioners, . , . rescind

cording to th e Court, involves only
th e techn ical question of th e p ro p ­

of exam ination given.
T he power to invalidate exam ­

Preview of L ist
W hile th e Com m ission was
striving for a final eligible list of
about 3,000, its only m ean s of
con tro llin g th is was in th e n a tu re
of th e w ritte n test. T h is proved
to be fa ir, no cinch, n o t too tough,
an d offering possibilities of some
7,000 passing t h a t te st an d 8,000
failing.
P au l M. B re n n a n , D irector of
th e Com m ission’s M edical-Physi­
cal Diyision, search ed th e recordsk
of p ast ex a m in a tio n s in th e sam e
title, an d for sim iliar jobs req u ir­
ing stre n g th an d agibility, found
from experience t h a t ab ou t 7 p e r­
cent, or 1,000, would fail th e m edi­
cals a n d 20 p erc en t of th e re m a in ­
ing 6,000 fail th e physicals, or
1,200. B u t because m a n y of th e
can d id ates probably took sim ilar
exam s before, in w hich th e y did
no t p ass th e physical test, it is
expected t h a t th e failu res in th e
physical te st will rea ch 1,500, leav­

T he Com m ission would be well
satisfied w ith th is num ber, b u t
woud n o t be alarm e d if th e n u m ­
ber were 3,000 or even betw een
2,800 a n d 3,000. T h e reason is th a t
th e re will be m ore th a n enough
eligibles, a t any ra te , and , if p re ­
vious experience is rep eated , no
likelihood of an y rescaling to p ro ­
d u c t a sufficient n um b er of eligi­
bles. F o r 2,500 jobs a list of 2,800
would n orm ally be enough to m eet
th e needs of th e service, since th e
declinations of offers of F irem an
jobs are relatively few.

How L ist Is Composed
T he w ritte n a n d th e physical
percentag es scores of th e c a n d i­
dates will be averaged, to produce
th e final average on w hich th e
aligible list is based. However, a t
le ast 70 p e rc e n t m u st be a tta in e d
in each of th ese two com petitive
p arts. T h e m edical te st is qualify­
ing, i.e., ca n d id a tes are m ark ed
Q ualified o r N ot Q ualified, w ith no
p erc en ta g e involvedT he only rem a in in g p oints co n­
cerns ties an d betw een ce rta in
preference.
Ties will be broken as follows;
equal final average.<i will be broken
by according preference to th e
ca n d id a tes in th e ord er of th e ir
percentag es in th e w ritte n te st; if
th e tie rem ains unbroken, since
th e ca n d id a tes th e n m a st have
h a d th e sam e p ercentag e in th e
physical te st, th e ca n d id a te who
filed his ap plicatio n ahead of th e
o th e r or o th e rs will get th e break.
If c a n d id a tes filed on th e sam e
day, records were kept, n o t of th e
ac tu a l m inute, b ut in tim e-groups,
so th a t b reaking ties by using th e
filing tim e would be practicab le
in sa m e-d ay cases.
A fter th e eligibles are placed in
th e o rd er of relative sta n d in g by
percentages, veteran preference is
applied: v eteran s w ith 10 p ercen t
or m ore d isability ra tin g go to
th e to p of th e list, in th e relative
order of sta n d in g am ong th e m ­
selves; o th e r v eteran s come next,
on th e sam e basis, and n on -vet­
era n s last. Since th e re will be eli­
gibles w ho won’t receive any job
offer, because of m ore eligibles
th a n prospective vacancies, th e
n o n -v e te ra n s will be h a rd e st hit,
b u t th e effect is m inim ized by th e
fact t h a t n ea rly all th e can d id ates
are veterans. In th e la st F ire m a n
an d P a tro lm a n exam ination s th e
n u m b e r of v eteran s exceeded 95
percent. I t depends m uch on th e
final n u m b e r of eligibles. I f th e re
are 3,000, an d 500 get no jobs,
200 n o n -v ete ra n s, on th e 5 p.c.
basis, would lose out, b u t so
would 300 v eteran s also. All no n­
veterans, Instead of being a p ­
