All were unanim ous in th e ir a p ­
proval of th is legislation. A pprox­
im ately 12,500 em ployees of th e
F ederal G overnm ent will be a f ­

will cost th e governm ent a n ­

sidered to be a slave state.
M ortality R ates
An exerpt from a le tte r received
from th e M etropolitan Life I n ­
su ran ce Com pany sta te s, "we
know from experience th a t th e
m o rta lity ra te of prison guard s
is h ig h er th a n th e m o rta lity ra te
of persons in w h at we consider
n o n -h az ard o u s occupations. F o r
th is reason we ask prison gu ard s
to pay a h ig her p rem ium .” I t
seems th a t everyone excepting th e
S ta te of New York, believes th e
prison officers ‘are entitled to
earlier retire m en t by reason of
th e ir position.
Joseph Fulling F ish m a n , fo r­
m er In sp ecto r of F ederal Prisons,
once said: “If I were in th e

th e Civil Service Commission re ­

assigned to duties o th e r th a n those

to be working “o u t-o f-title .”

By H. J. BERNARD
president Joseph A. M cN am ara
pd D irector of E xam in atio ns
jgiTiuel H. G alston conferred on
advisability of holding a

(P.D.)

^igibles on th e presen t P a tro lm a n
will receive job offers an d th a t
Me new exam ination will certain ly
je held in 1950, unless reasons
jiise for holding it in 1949.
president M cN am ara ad m itted
j)at th e Commission would p r e ­
fer to hold th e ex am ination in
1950, b ut added quickly t h a t it
i5 ready to proceed in 1949, if
necessary.
The sam e general schedule
Fould apply in eith er instance.
Thr w ritten te st would be held
in the spring, followed as soon as
possible by th e m edicals, w ith th e
jhysicals held in Van C ortland
park in tlie sum m er. T h a t would
jiake th e period for th e receipt
jf applications open in Ja n u ary .
Small Police L ie u ten a n t List
President M cN am ara said t h a t
ihe Police L ie u ten a n t eligible list
vould be out soon a fte r L abor
Day. He com m ented th a t some
Sergeants h a d failed to ta k e th e
e,xamination because, as n o n ­
veterans, th ey feared th a t th e y
would have little likelihood of
being reached for prom otion. At
east one S erg ean t retired on a
pension, for th e sam e reason. He
low regrets his action.
The eligible list will be very
small. Everybody on it will be
promoted.
The Police S erg ean t list will
bo out la te In Septem ber. T his Is
sooner th a n th e Commission h a d
expected, Mr. M cN am ara a d m it­
ted. I t is believed th a t u rg in g
from th e Police D ep artm en t, as
well as from eligibles, caused th e
speed-up.
The S ergeant list was delayed
by a c o u rt proceeding in w hich
eligibles
succesfully
p rotested
against m ultiple correct answ ers.
In the official key, altho ugh th e
examination p ap e r called for th e
best” answ er to each question.
Tliey contended th a t th e re could
be only one “best” answer.
A teleg ram was received by
President M cN am ara from one of
the petitio ners in th a t case, s t a t ­
ing th a t unless th e Commission
took off th e list those who got
less th a n 70 per cent, even if th ey
?ot m ore th a n 69 per cent, th e re
vould be an o th e r co u rt case. H e
Is p u ttin g th e telegram on file.
He believes th a t th e Commission
fias full a u th o rity to m ake 69.1
the su b stantial pass m ark, w here
the literal pass m a rk is 70, an d
cites a provision of its Rules.
