G e ra rd Purcell, v ice-p resident

F ro m A m erican Legion sources,

Is being expressed in some q u a r­

its position an d go along w ith th e

The Sensitive Problem
T lie im m ediate, an d m ost se n ­
sitive, situ atio n is salary.
R ising living costs— reflected in
rising salaries elsew here in th e
S ta te — don’t seem a n influence th e
sa la ry stru c tu re in Suffolk.
Six m o n th s ago, th e Suffolk
County c h a p te r held a closed door
m eeting w ith th e B o ard of S u p er­
visors to discuss salary. C harles
D uryea, c h a irm a n of th e B oard,
appointed th e B o a rd as a com ­
m itte e of th e whole to "e x am in e”
th e salary situ atio n . T o d ate,
n o th in g h a s been done. So f a r
as T he LEADER c a n le a rn , th e
B oard h a s n o t even held a fo r­
m al m eeting on th e problem , f a c tics of th e a d m in istra tio n seem to
base on ignoring th e employees
an d th e ir needs.
* The Board’s A ttitude
T h e B oard of Supervisors takes
th e a ttitu d e t h a t it h a d e s ta b ­
lished sta n d a rd iz a tio n of salaries
in 1943 for all county jobs. T h e

ies of five increm ents. T h e n in
1946, a flat 10 per c e n t w as added.
Suffolk Lags Behind
As th e S tate, in realizatio n of
h ig h er costs, b egan to increase
th e com pensation of its employees,
Suffolk Remained relatively s ta ­
tionary. D uring a period w hen
th e cost-of-living index r a n up

folk County employees h av e gotten
only one 10 p er cent raise. T his
ALL STATE WAR-DURATION
JOBS TO BE ABOLISHED
ALBANY. Aug. 23.—T h ere are
between 800 an d 900 w a r-d u ra tlo n
employees still on th e S ta te rolls,
according to Civil Service Com ­
mission estim ates. I t was sta te d
t h a t th is figure will be reduced
to zero by October.
Confuse Increm ent W ith R aise
An indication of th e curious
a ttitu d e of th e Boai’d of S u p e r­
visors in Suffolk C ounty is th is:
W hen approached fo r a raise,
one or a n o th e r of its m em bers
is invariably sure to sa y : “ You
got your salary in crem en t, d id n ’t
you?” As though th e in c re m e n t
were actually a pay raise — a
fallacy never accepted in an y
m odern p ay system.
Suffolk County boasts of its
splendid financial condition. I t
h a s little funded debt. I ts ta x
r a te — only 7 mills — h a s n o t
been raised in seven years. R eal
e state assessm ents h av e n o t in ­
creased. I t view of th e lessened
value of th e dollar, th is m eans
th a t th e actual ta x h a s been re­
duced, probably th e only case of
its k in d in th e S tate.
Said one em ployee to T h e LEA­
D ER bitterly : “T h ey ’re ta k in g it
out of our hides. I t m eans th a t in
rea lity we, th e C ounty employees,
are being forced to p ay th e ta x ;
we are forced to carry tlie burden

th eir stro ng efTorts to obtain a
40-hour week, so th a t they will
be on a p ar w ith th e vast m ajo rity
of other S ta te employees, instead
of having to work 48 ho urs a

th a t
reclassification,
th ro u g h w hich add itio nal pay

of th e added hours worked, would
be a possible solution. However
th e m en concerned do feel th a t re ­

IF your nam e is on a civil service
■ eligible list, one of th e th in g s
you usually figure is th e period
fo r w hich th e eligible list will con ­
tin u e in existence so th a t you
m ay be app ointed th erefrom .
U n der th e provisions of Section
14 of th e Civil Service Law, th e
te rm of eligibility m u st be fixed
fo r e a ch eligible list " a t n o t less
t h a t one n q r m ore th a n fo ur
years.” O rdinarily, lists are set
up for four years In thd S ta te se r­
vice. Local civil service com m is­
sions se t th e period of eligibility
of th e ir lists in accordance w ith
th e ir own rules an d regulations.
O ne of th e fine points about th e
ex act d a te of te rm in a tio n of a
list w as settled by th e courts some
years ago w hen th e y decided th a t
th e d a te of th e prom ulgation of
th e list is n o t to be counted in
co m putin g its fo u r-y ear
life.
H ence, a list established fo r a
fo u r-y e a r period on J a n u a r y 1,
1945 would expire on J a n u a r y 2,
1949 r a th e r th a n on J a n u a r y 1,
1949, a n d ap p o in tm en ts m ad e on
J a n u a r y 1, 1949 would be legal
(B roderick r . City of New York,
263 App. DIv. 856).
C onstructive E xhaustion
In ad d itio n to th e exp iratio n of
th e s ta tu to r y period, a n eligible
list m a y cease to be ap p ro p riate
fo r a n o th e r reason. I f th e re are
few er t h a n th re e ellgibles re m a in ­
in g on a list w illing to accept a p ­
p o in tm e n t a n d no ne is en titled to
v e te ra n preference, th e list is said
to be “ex h a u ste d ,” a n d a n a p ­
p o in tin g oflBcer m ay refuse to
m ak e a selection from it on th e
g ro u n d t h a t h e is en titled to m ake
a choice of o n e-o u t-o f three. I f
one of th e tw o rem ain in g ellgibles
is a v e te ra n th e n th e appointing
bfificer c a n n o t reje ct th e list. T his
follows from th e fa c t th a t before
a n o n -v e te ra n c a n be appointed
fro m a n eligible list all veterans
th e re in m u st first be appointed.
Accordingly, w h eth er th e re Is one
v e te ra n a n d one n o n -v ete ra n , or
one v ete ra n an d 1000 n o n -v e te r­
ans, th e situ a tio n rem ains th e
sam e, so f a r a s requiring th e a p ­
p o in tin g officer to use th e
Is concerned.
E x ten d in g Life of L ist
SometlniSs a n a tte m p t is m ads
to ex ten d th e eligibility of a list
beyond th e s ta tu to ry period oS
fo u r years. I f th e a tte m p t
m a d e by a civil service commis«
sion Itself, th e resulting ex ten ­
sion w ould be illegal. A civil ser^
vice com m ission c a n n o t ac t in
d erog atio n of th e legislative lim ­
ita tio n on th e life of lists. The
L eg islature alone Is empowered
to e x ten d th e life of an eligible
list a n d su ch extension m u st bo
legislated while th e list is still
alive. A n illu stratio n of th e ex­
ercise of su c h power Is found
in th e Session Laws of 1948. Bji
C h a p te r 623, th e eligible list for
C o u rt C rier in E rie County, due
to expire on J a n u a ry 20, 1949,
was extended by th e L egislature
on M a rc h 29,1948 for a six-m onths
period. Accordingly, th e list will
n o t expire by lapse of tim e until
J u ly 20, 1949. H ad th e list already
expired by M a rc h 29, 1948, th e
L eg islativ e would h av e been pow­
erless to re su rre c t it. I n th e case
of K o rn b lu th versus Rice (275
N. Y. 597), th e C ourt of Appeals
a decade ago held th a t a f te r a
list h a s expired so t h a t th e re aiv?
no persons capable of ap pointm en t
p u r s u a n t to th e civil service pro-,
visions, th e L egislature is w ith ­
o u t pow er to authorize th e a p ­
p o in tm e n t of persons fro m th e
d ea d list.
L egislature C an E x ten d L ist
I n a n o th e r c h a p te r of th e Laws
of 1948 (C h ap ter 294), th e Legis­
la tu re repealed S ection 15-A of
th e G en e ra l iC ty Law, w hich h a d
been declared u n co n stitution al, as
it provided for th e prom otion of
police lieu te n an ts to police ca p ­
ta in s fro m expired prom otion el­
igible lists.
F ro m th e foregoing, it is clear
t h a t if you w a n t th e eligibility of
your eligible list extended beyond
its fo u r y ear term , you m ust p re ­
v ail u p o n th e L egislature to pass
a law ex tend ing it some tim e be­
fore th e list expires.

Inside Story
Of Exams in NYC E X A M S
(C o n tin u e d i r o m P ag e 1)
S ta te CflvU Service Com mission,
approve It. T h e sta n d a rd ru le Is
six m o n th s for provisional hiring,
with a posvsible extension of three
m onths. T herefore w hen th e res­
olution is adopted th e NYC Com ­
mission will have to m ake cerflcations fo r filling th o u sa n d s of
jobs now occupied by provlsionals.
In a substan tial percentag e of
cases, however, th e provislonals
are or will be am ong those who
passed th e exam ination and would
become entitled to p ro b atio n ary
appo intm en t leading to perm aency. T h e p robation ary period is
<lx m onths.
Provlsionals who are ellglbles
may lose out for a .vpell, n ev erth e­
less, as app ointm ents are m ade
straig h t down th e list, an d if th e
eligible is n o t high enough up to
be reached, considering veteran
preference, he h as to get o u t of
his provisional job. He w ould be
appointed on a reg u lar basis la te r
on, w hen reached for certification.
Many provlsionals do n ot know
th a t and holler bloody m u rd er
when they get notice th a t th e ir
job is up.
W ant More Social Investig ators
T he W elfare D ep a rtm en t is an ilous to appoint m a n y m ore So­
cial Investigators. I t h a s a com ­
pact w ith th e Com mission for
certifications to fill 200 vacancies
the beginning of each new pay
period. However, clearan ce of
veteran certificates h as blocked
progress som ew hat an d th e Com­
mission could n ot m eet W elfare’s
needs th is time, b u t will tr y to
double up for th e n ex t p ay roll
period w ith 400. One of th e r e a ­
sons for th e d ep a rtm e n t desiring
m ore and m ore certifications Is
said to be th e su b stan tial n um b er
of declination?.
New P ro lest on Serjreant T est
T he P atrolm en who com peted in
th e Police S erg ea n t prom otion
exam ination are now p ro testin g
against th e inclusion on th e eli­
gible list of thoSe ca n d id a tes who
got a fraction m ore th a n 69 p er
cent, b ut less th a n th e literal 70
per ce n t pass m ark . T h e group,
headed by P atro lm a n G eorge
B lum enthal, is th re a te n in g to b e­
gin co u rt action, unless th e In ­
clusion of th e “fiixty-niners” Is
rescinded. T h e Com mision h as
no In tentio n of com plying w ith
th e request.
''T h e practice of passing those
can didates w ho o b tained a score
less th a n one u n it u n d er th e lit­
eral pass m ark. Is one of m any
years’ sta n d in g in th is C om m is­
sion,” said P re sid en t M cN am ara.
“T h e Comimission is well w ithin
its au th o rity in passing those who
ot m ore th a n 69 b u t less th a n
0 per cent.”
Police Lieut. List N early H eady
T h e Police L ie u ten a n t eligible
list is expected to be o u t soon,
certain ly by S eptem ber 1, said
P resid en t M cN am ara. T h e list
h as f a r fewer n am es t h a n expec­
ted. One reason is t h a t some
candidates, who were alm ost eliglbles already, h a d to be throw n
off th e list w hen th e key answ ers
were changed to conform to th e
requ irem n ts of th C ou rt of Ap­
peals in th e S ergeant c a n d id a te s’
law proceeding. I n th a t case nine
key answ ers to m ultiple choice
questions were protested by th e
B lum enthal group, because th e
exam ination p ap e r called for th e
best answer, an d th e group co n ­
tended th a t th e re could be only
one best answer.
T h e courts
agreed. Since in th e Police L ieu­
te n a n t exam ination th e re h a d
been m ultiple best answ ers, too,
the key am en dm ent resulted.
Unoilicial R eason
W hile th e reason b eh in d th e
suit, and th e in terest in h aving th e
"slx ty -n in ers” upset, h a s never
been given ofBcially by th e p e tit­
ioners, it is believed t h a t th e ir
in terest is m ainly in b eh alf of
th e n o n -v eteran s who find th a t
v eteran preference long defers. If
it does n o t prevent, th e ir p ro ­
motion. H ence if th e "sixtyn in e rs” are throw n off th e list,
since th e re would be a good p ercentabe of v eterans am ong th em ,
few er eliglbles en titled to p re f­
erence would be included on th e
list, an d th e slim ch ances of n o n ­
veterans would im prove. I t is
also tru e th a t some n o n -v ete ra n s
would be adversely affected, b u t
th a t would be unavoidable.
I n th e a tta c k on th e m ultiple
best answ ers in th e S erg ea n t p ro ­
m otion exam in atio n th e sam e
general situ atio n obtained, since
th e list would be sm aller, a n d a
la rg e r num ber of v eteran s th a n
no n -v eteran s would lose out.
T h e S erg eant list should be
ready by th e end of O ctober, im less a n o th e r law su it holds It up.
T he intervening tim e w ould be
devoted to re -ra tin g th e papers.

The Firem an phjrsical te s t now

1^ scientific planning.
Several changes were m ade this
I year, after consultation w ith Dr.
George Spitz of th e H ealth Edu­
cation D epartm ent a t New York
University. T hese changes th e
Commission felt. Improved th e
test; m ade it m ore accurate w id
jnore flexible, w ithout, of course,
gacrlficing th e rigid standards
[that m ust always be m aintained.
Can Fail Part, Pass Whole
One new f e a tu re Is th e pack
[run. C and id ates form erly h a d to
run a mile— t h a t is, th e y r a n
[around th e 176-yard course te n
[times. Now th e y r u n o n e-te n th
of a mile, b u t w ith a 70-pound
Ipack on th e outside shoulder. T he
Commission reasoned t h a t anyone
k u h average s tre n g th could ru n
1a mile, if h e h a d too, by tra in in g
over a period of tim e. O n th e
I other han d , ru n n in g w ith a heavy
I load requires m ore en du ran ce,
even th o u g h
th e distance is
sh o rte r, a n d calls for m ore coordi­
n a tio n — ^both qualities t h a t all
firtmen need.
F lunk W ilhont a Gripe
A nother c h a n g e makejs it pos­
sible for a ca n d id a te to pass th e
test as a whole even if h e fails

Two Added S ta rte rs
Everybody th o u g h t for a while
th a t th a t was th e $64 question
an d th a t th e answ er h a d rem oved
all doubt from th e retroactive se n ­
iority maze. B u t n o t so. T h e two
added sta rte rs en tered by th e
Commission:
“ 1. May a non-d isabled v eteran
be g ra n te d retro activ e seniority
back to t h e 'd a t e of a p p o in tm e n t
of a n o n -v ete ra n lower dow n on
th e list?
“ 2. In case of a n o n -v ete ra n
entitled to m ilitary rig h ts, such
as mem bers of the M e rc h an t M a r­
ine, or a m em ber of th e R ed Cross,
is it proper to g ra n t such persons
retroactive seniority back to th e
d ate th a t a non-disabled v eteran
lower on th e list was a p p o in ted ?”
TW U Asks Two Q uestions
Tho.se two questions w ere p ro ­
pounded in those w ords by S idney
M. S tern , legal expert of th e
Commission. B ut th a t w asn ’t all.
A th ird and fo u rth question arose.
They were subm itted by th e T ra n s ­
port W orkers U nion a n d cam e up
a t th e Commission m eeting la st
week:
“ 1. W h a t Is th e seniority d ate
of a disabled v eteran prom oted
from a special m ilitary list, in re ­
lation eith er to disabled veterans
or non-disabled v eteran s or civil­
ians appointed before h im and
who are lower down on th e orig­
inal eligible list?
“ 2. How does one d eterm ine th e
seniority d ate of a non-disab led
veteran in relatio n e ith er to n o n ­
veterans or civilians who are lower
down on th e list? ”
T hose two questions w ere se n t
in a le tte r from I. B lum berg, of
th e TWU, to Mr. S tern.
T he Com mission’s own questions
are being pondered by Mr. M c­
G ra th . Mr. B lum berg’s questions
have not been forw arded to Mr.
M cG rath.
Speculation on Answers
A lthough no official word h a s
come from Mr. M cG rath on th e
two new problem s p resen ted by
th e Commission, th e answ er to
th e Com mission’s first question—
wlietlier non-disabled v eterans
could be given seniority re tro a c ­
tive to th e ap p o in tm en t d a te of
a n o n -v ete ra n lower down on th e
list—would appear to be In the
affirmative. T he whole question
