STA TE A N D C O U N T Y N E W S
To Help Understand
About Vet Preference
Because many persons are still confused concerning
veteran proference, and the bills before the Legislature
now. The LEADER will run articles to help you under­
stand what the present situation is, w hat the Mitchell bill
does, w hat the Condon bill does.
THE FIRST THING to remember is this: Veteran
preference in New York State affects you not only if you
are a State employee, but if you work for a county, city,
village, or any other unit of government within the State.
It affects yon, too, if you are seeking a civil service job.
THE SECOND THING to remember is this: the pres­
ent veteran preference law hasn’t worked out welL Every­
body wants to change it. The question is: How?
THE THIRD POINT: Two measures are under con­
sideration: the Mitchell bill and the Condon bill. They
arc proposed amendments to the State Constitution. There­
fore the Legislature must act on them twice— in tw o suc­
cessive years; then, the bill which passes ( if eith er), is
voted upon by the people of the State in a referendum.
The situation now: The Legislature, at its 1948 ses­
sion, passed BOTH bills— the Mitchell and the Condon.
At the next session, the Legislature must act a second
tiino.
Next w eek’s LEADER will compare the present vet
pieforence bill, the Mitchell bill, and the Condon bill.

To Aid VD Victims
ALBANY, Dec. 13—T h e S ta te
Civil Service Com mission h a s de­

as head of the Retirem ent System. This recent appoint­
m ent by Comptroller Frank C. Moore is one of the most
heartening and best-arppreciated happenings of the of­
ficial year. It is a real Christmas present to every member
of the Retirem ent System.
Mr. Kaplan has already taken up his new and highly
important .I'ob.
It has been the good fortune of The Civil Service Em­
ployees Association to know Mr. Kaplan well and to w ork
closely with him and his Civil Service Reform Association
for maiiy years. Indeed, there has alw’ays been close and
active cooperation between the two organizations— one, a
citizen group concerned with good and efficient govern­
ment, and the other, our public employee group equally con­
cerned with the w elfare of the citizen and the w^elCare
of ourselves through fair employm ent practices by our
employers, w ho together are by far the biggest business
in the State.
It is interesting to note that there has alw ays been
nearly complete agreem ent am ong the leaders of both
associations about civil service m ethods and ideals.
For More Than a Qnarter-Century
Eliot Kaplan lived in W estchester. He had his offices
in New York City, but he made W ashington and the capitols of all the States his real concern. For nearly a
quarter century he has done more than any other man I
know of to protect and to advance the merit systeni as a
moral, an administrative and a democratic “ must’' in our
free society.
Recently it w as my good fortune to be one of a group
of public officials and Association officers breaking bread
together with Mr. Kaplan. The talk turned, as it is sure
to turn w henever and wherever Mr. K aplan has a part in
it, on the present health, vigor, minor ills and tem perature
of government and the digt, rem edies and procedure pat­
terns needed to make it more nearly adequate to its high
calling.
ISot Standing Stiil
Mr. Kaplan assured us that Government and adminis­
tration is not standing still, or going back. There are, he
indicated, no insoluble problems although there are many
immediate and important ones. The best and speediest
solution would, he thought, be found through the w^orking together o f all public servants— high and low — ^to
increase the prestige of the government.
Equally important it seemed to him, is the need of plac­
ing the State in a bargaining position for brains— unusual
ability and merit equal to the highest in private business.

T h e histo ry of public employee
organizatio n Is a h istory of re ­
pression, gag rule, denial of civil
rights, a tte m p ts to control. Only
in recent years Is a m a tu re r e ­
lationsh ip beginning to emerge
between employee groups an d gov­
ern m e n t units. And in some p arts
of th e country, even to day a p u b ­
lic worker joins to g eth er w ith
his fellow only a t th e risk of his
job.
O n th e o th e r h an d , th e accom ­
plishm ents of employee o rganiza­
tions are enorm ous, n o t only in
im proving th e condition of public
workers, b ut in ad4ing to th e
efficiency of governm ent.
A book of im posing quality has
been w ritten by S terlin g D. Spero,,
professor in th e G ra d u a te Division
of Public Service, New Y ork U ni­
versity. E n titled “G overnm ent as
Em ployer.” th e volum e is “m u st”
read in g fo r everyone w ho h a s an
in terest in good governm ent, in
labor relations, a n d in civil service.
T he book is published by th e
Rem sen Press, New York. T rad e
edition of th e book is $5.65; te x t
book edition is $4.50, an d th e 497
fact-filled pages are well w orth it.
T rem endous R esearch
T he am o u n t of research w hich
Dr. Spero h a s p u t into th e g a th e r­
ing of his m a teria l is fan tastic. He
has been a t if for years, an d he
brings his m a teria l rig h t up to
date, including a discussion of
th e Condon-"\Vadlin a n ti-strik e
act in New Y ork S tate, th e re la ­
tions between postal unions and
th e ir em ployers a t th e present
time, th e F ed eral loyalty probes.
And th e book h a s th e saving grace
of light w riting; th e facts are p re ­
sented in readable m a n n er. Some
of th e historical pages, like those
dealing w ith th e early struggles
of th e postal organizations ag ainst
dom ination by th e ir d epartm en t,
read alm ost like good fiction.
EXr. Spero h a s n o t lim ited h im ­
self, however, to history. He h as
dealt w ith all p hases of th e
public employee relationship— th e
legal rig h t to organize a n d strike,
spcctive. A nd perspective is w hat
political activity, fa c ts and
ures on public em ploym ent th
w hite collar w orkers, the poiu*
and firefighters unions, the u *
chers’ organizations, th e develon
m e n ts in organizing State and
county workers, collective bargain
ing in public service, th e place nt
th e public w orker in the labo,
m ovem ent.

He sets th e record straig h t, poinj,

ALBANY, Dec. 13 — Joseph
C chechter, counsel to th e S tate
Civil Service Com mission, h a s in ­
form ed an inqu irer th a t, in t h ^
absence of local law to th e con­
trary , a m unicipal employee does
n ot have to live in th e city where
he works.
“I t is my u n d ersta n d in g th a t
un der th e civil service rules of
th e Lockport Civil Service C om ­
mission, a person m u st be a resi­
dent of th e City of Lockport for
a specified period in order to be
eligible to com pete in civil service
exam inations,” w rote M r. S chechter. T herefore, a n employee of
your city who establishes legal
residence outside th e city will
lose his eligibility to p articip a te
in exam inations conducted by th e
Lockport Civil Service Commission.
“T here is no provision in the
Civil Service Law w hich requires
an employee to cont-inue his resi­
dence a fte r he receives a n ap p o in t­
m ent. However, Section 3 of the
Public Officers Law requires a
public officer holding a local office
to be a resident of th e political
subdivision in w hich h e holds
office.
“I t is my opinion th a t in th e
absence of any local law to th e
contrary , an em ployee of an
agency of your city, o th e r th a n
a public officer, ca n n o t be removed
from his position if h e moves his
place of residence outside th e city.”

Something Wrong
With Salary Board?
S
OMETIIJNG is seriously wrong with the mental climate
of the State Salary Standardization Board.
That Board turned down an appeal of the State's in­
stitutional nurses for higher salary allo ca tio n s— at the
very time the State is making a desperate effort to recruit
nni’ces. The State recruitment isn’t succeeding— and in
this circumstance can’t succeed. Economics are against
it. First, the nurses maintain, with an imposing array of
facts, that salaries paid by the State are too low to at­
tract competent nurses. Second, the total supply of nurses
is limited, and if the State wants them, it will have to
compete to get them— and that means higher pay.
Now another thought; The LEADER doesn’t know how
much the Budget Director has had to do with this matter.
We do know that the Salary Board waited an unusually
long time before issuing its decision denying the nurses’
appeal. It is not unreasonable to suppose that it may
have gone to the Budget Director’s office first. This has
happened many times in the past. Many times, too, the
Budget Director has overturned the Salary Board’s decis­
ions— thus actually taking over the Board’s functions. If
the Salary Board is to be a truly effective body, it must
be independent. Perhaps it is time to consider legislation
enlarging its range of independence. The LEADER will
have more to say about this in subsequent issues.
r. S. Why doesn’t the Salary Board permit press cov­
erage of ALL its hearings? Does it prefer that the in­
formation be gathered at second hand?
Or is the infornialion perhaps in the Top Restricted Confidential
Secret category ?

Getting to the core o f the problem , Mr, DeGraff nrges that the Stoi,,

a change in the law which noiv prohibits pensioners fro m taking part-tiniv n ?|
lie jobs. Mr, DeGraff’s case was stated last week before the ISew Y ork Statv

O P all th e groups affected by in ­

T h e doctrine was first laid d
in M ahon vs. B oard of Educatiflnl
171 N.Y. 263, decided by the CoS
of A ppeals in 1902. I t apnoar I
from the opinion t h a t the Legi!
la tu re, in 1894, h a d enacted a lai
to provide for th e retirement ot
teach ers in th e City of New Yorj
—one of ou r earliest pension sys.1
tems. T h e system was pretty prini,
itive for, a s th e C ourt point,s out I
“th e fu n d for th e payment oi
th ese pensions was to consist oil
fines an d deductions from teach,
ers’ wages m ade for any cause and
fro m donations or legacies thal
m ig h t be m ade to it.”
A pparently, th e fun d so created
was insufficient to m eet the re­
qu irem ent th a t m ale teachers who
h a d served for 35 years were m
be pen.sioned a t h a lf pay, and!
fem ale teachers 30 years. In anj
event, In 1898, th e fu n d was sup.j
plem ented by a provision adding]
to it 5 per ce n t of the excl'e]
m oney or license fee belonginj
to th e City of New York.
U nconstitutional
T h e i.ssue before th e co u rt fori
construction w as an act, pass«||
in 1900, which directed the pay­
m e n t of th e stip ulated pensioaj
to s-ome 33 teach ers who had re-|
tire d prior to 1894 when the re­
tire m e n t system was adopted. The!
C ourt of Appeals held th a t the]
provision for th e paym ent of pen­
sions to employees who had re-j
tire d before th e retirem ent sys*!
tem w’as created was unconstitu­
tio n al because it granted extrsj
com pensation “over a n d aboveI
th a t fixed by c o n tra ct or by la»j
w hen th e services were rendered,"
•Another Case
T he second decision of ihtj
C o urt of Appeals, handed downj
in 1931, declared unconsitutionalj
a local law of th e City of Roches-1
te r w hich increased th e penslonsj
of retire d policem en an d firemeaj
T his was a t a tim e w'hen th«j
cost of living was going down-1
N either th e C ourt of Appeals norj
th e A ppellate Division wrote
opinion in th is case, b u t th e state­
m e n t of th e repor ter indicates j
t h a t th e decision was based iiPO®j

C onstitution.
E ntirely Different

Today, th e m oral obli8«y.°f
th e S ta te to relieve the
occasioned by th e facts that v
flation, it Is generally agreed
th a t those who have retire d on
fixed pensions are th e h a rd e st hit.
T h e pensions paid by th e S ta te
and S ta te agencies consist p artly
of dollars con trib u ted by th e em ­
ployees an d p a rtly of dollars con ­
trib u te d by th e S tate. T h e S tate,
however, does n o t re tu rn tiie dol­
lars co n trib u ted by th e employees
in dollars or dimes of equal value.
I t accepted from th e employees
dollars w orth 100 cents a n d pays
off in dollars w orth 57 cents.
Govt. W elching?
M ark Sullivan, in his colum n of
November 10, claim s th a t th e gov­
ern m e n t is w elching on its p rom ­
ise to p ay back w h at th e worker
co ntrib utes to Social Security
funds. T h is ch a rac teriz atio n Is
even m ore a p t in its application
to o ur public pension systems.
Survey of our S ta te R etirem ent
System' in 1944 showed th a t th e
average le n g th of service of r e ­
tired em ployees was 25 years, and
th e average age a t retire m en t was
abo ut 66 years. T he pensions re ­
ceived by these employees are piti­
fully sm all, despite th e ir long
service. The. pension payroll as of
M arch 31, 1947, showed th a t th e
average pension paid by th e New
Y ork S ta te Employees R etirem en t
System for service retirem en t was
only $909.66.
Low Pensions
T hese flgm es include pensions
paid to those who retire d before
inflation arrived. I t m ight be a s­
sum ed t h a t rec en t retirem ents
would be higher, b u t th e la test
figures covering service re tire ­
m en ts during th e seven m onths
period from April 1, 1948 to Oc­
tober 31, 1948 show th a t th e
average pension paid during th a t
period was only $948.86.
U p -to -d a te figures furnished by
th e S ta te Employees R e tirem en t
System only two weeks ago show
th a t ap proxim ately tw o-thirds of
th e employees placed on service
re tire m e n t
d uring
th e
seven
m o n th period in 1948 received
pensions of less th a n $1,000 per
an n u m . A pproxim ately o n e-th ird
of those retired during this p eri­
od received pensions of less th a n
$500 p er annu m .
T h e inadequacy of these figures
is so a p p a re n t th a t it is unneces­
sary to dwell upon th e distressing
plight of those who are wholly
d ependent upon such m eager in ­
comes. I t is likewise unnecessary
to em phasize th e m oral obliga­
tions of th e S ta te to pay pensions
w hich a re equal' in purchasing
power to th e contributions paid
by th ese w orkers to th e R e tire ­
m e n t System . I shall, therefore,
confine my rem ark s to two spe­
cific suggestions designed to re m ­
edy, in p a rt, th e existing distress.
1..T H E LAW W HICH P R O H IB ­
IT S PEN SIO N ERS FROM AC­
CEPTIN G PA R T -T IM E P U B ­
LIC EMPLOYMENT SHOULD
BE REPEALED.
M any of our retired pensioners
are physically incapable of aug­
m enting th e ir m eager pensions by
p art-tim e em ployment. Some, how­
ever, are capable of holding p arttim e jobs w hich do not require too
m uch
physical stam ina. B ut,
stran g e as it m ay seem, th e law
of this S ta te prohibits public
pensioners from increasing th e ir
p ath etically inadequate incomes
by accepting public em ployment.
My a tte n tio n was called, only
th e o th e r day, to an elderly p e n ­
sioner who atte m p te d to augm ent
his pension by working during the
sum m er m on ths as a w atchm an
a t a m unicipal beach. A stound­
ing as it m ay seem, every cen t
of th e m oney he earned in this
em ploym ent was deducted from
his pension. T his ridiculous sta te
of affairs is created by Section
32 of th e Civil Service Law.

1932, a t th e d ep th of th e depres­

to spread all available work am ong
th e unem ployed. In its app lica­
tion to p resen t day conditions
th is s ta tu te is now m anifestly ob­
solete a n d un fair. W ith respect to
its suspension of th e an n u ity p a y ­
able from th e employee’s own
funds it is, in my opinion, u n c o n ­
stitu tio n al.
T here are m an y p a rt-tim e and

T hese jobs, low paid for th e

2. TH E PENSIONS OF R E TIRED
EMPLOYEES
SHOULD BE
PAID IN DOLLARS EQUAL
IN PURCHASING POW ER TO
DOLLARS CONTRIBUTED BY
TH E W ORKER.
T h ere h as been no serious ob­
jectio n to th e m erits of th e p ro ­
posal to increase th e pensions
of retire d employees in recogni­
tio n of th e decline in purchasin g
power caused by inflation. T h e
distressing plight of these p e n ­
sioners an d th e m oral obligation
of th e S ta te to rem edy th e ir co n ­
dition is generally acknowledged.
T he failure to act h as been ju s ti­
fied on only one ground, nam ely,
th e assertion th a t th e constitu tion
prohibits increasing th e pensions
of em ployees who h ave heretofore
retired.
L et us briefly analyze th e basis
of th is assertion. I t is founded
upon two decisions of th e C ourt of
A ppeals w hich have co nstrued Art.
9, Sec. 10 of th e C onstitution
which reads as follows:
SIO. E x tra com pensation p ro ­
hibited.
T he legislature shall not, nor
shall th e com mon council, of any
city, nor any board of su p e r­
visors, g ra n t any ex tra com pen­
sation to any public officer, se r­
vant, agent or contractor.
T he application of this co nsti­
tu tio n a l provision to th e paym ent
of salaries or wages to public em ­
ployees is well understood. T he
C ourts have uniform ly held th a t
n e ith e r th e S ta te nor any local
governm ental u n it can increase
salaries a f te r th e services have
been rendered by giving ex tra
com p en sstion in th e form of a
bonus.
Following this line of reasoning,
it h as been held th a t a n increase
in th e retire m en t allowance of
a pensioner who has heretofore
retired is a g ratu ity w hich falls
w ithin th e foregoing prohibition

Probe of N YC Civil Service
By MAXWELL LEHMAN
A sweeping probe of New Y ork
City’s civil service setup will be
dem anded by th e new ly-form ed
C om m ittee of Five Million.
T h e Com m ittee, w hich will seek
th e election of a “n o n -p a rtis a n ”
M ayor in n ex t y e a r’s elections,
m a in ta in s t h a t th e C ity’s civil
service is “overcast w ith ineffic­
iency, bungling, stum bling, a n d
stu p id ity .” Acting c h a irm a n of
th e group is D ennis F itzgerald, a
m em ber of th e law -firm of Spence,
H otchkiss, P a rk e r an d Diuryea.
O ne of th e organizers, A tto rney
G abriel K ap lan , will endeavor to
p u t th e com m ittee on record w ith
a public d em an d for in vestigation
th e M unicipal Civil Service C om ­

dealing w ith personnel m a tte rs.
techniques are prim itive. T h e ex­
am s a ie so poor th a t th e a p p o in t­

held up fo r m o nths while th e
courts are try in g to find o u t th e
m eaning of c e rtain questions an d
answ ers on th e recent Police S e r ­
g e a n t exam.
8. A proper classification of City
jobs is long overdue.
S ec ret R e p o rts
In addition, th e C om m ittee of
Five Million will ch arg e t h a t w aste
in City d ep a rtm e n ts h a s ta k e n

Political Motivation?
Since th e C om m ittee of Five th e R epublican or an y o th e r p oli­
Million is fra n k ly a political body, tical p arty . No nam es for M a y o r­
its m otives will of course be su s­
pect to an y agency before w hom
it m ay dem an d a probe. A nd its
adversaries will undoubtedly p o in t
to “political m o tiv atio n ” behind
an y a c t in w hich th e C om m ittee
m ay indvUge.
al c a n d id a tes whom th e C om ­
m ittee will su p p o rt have yet been
officially discu.ssed. T h e a ttitu d e
of th e C om m ittee is th is: F irs t it
will create a p la tfo rm ; th e n it
will circulate th e p la tfo rm to pos­
sible cand id ates: and th e n it will
choose am ong those prospective
can d id a tes who accept its p ro ­
gram . T he Com m ittee, a fusion
body, will of course try to have its
ca n d id a tes n om in ated by th e G O P
an d by one of th e sm aller parties.
Im pressed by th e way T ru m a n

Bill of Particulars
Mr. K a p la n issues “ this te n t a ­
tive bill of p a rtic u la rs” :
1. T h e to tal numt>er of exem pt
jobs in th e CMty, th e n am es of all
who hold those jobs, an d how
m uch th e jobs pay, is a d a rk se­
cret. T his should be public in fo r­
m ation.
2. T he to ta l of provisional an d
non-com petitive jobs is com pletely
out-of-bou nd s. T h e City is doing
n o th in g su b stan tial to clean up
th is situation.
3. T he Civil Service C om m is­
sion h as shown itself u n fit to co n­
d u ct a n adequate rec ru itin g p ro ­
gram'. Y et recruiting is one of its
m ost im p o rta n t functions.
4. T he creatio n of six new ex­
em pt jobs in th e D e p a rtm e n t of
W elfare a n d one such job in th e
D e p a rtm e n t of M arine a n d A via­
tion “indicates t h a t politics su f­
fuses th e p resent ad m in istra tio n .”
T h e C om m ittee’s spokesm an p a r ­
ticu larly condem ned th e cre atio n
of th e ad m in istrativ e a s sista n t p o ­
sition in th e D e p a rtm e n t of M arine

it was set u p as a payoff fo r a
Brooklyn political worker. “ If
th e re were need foa* such a jo b ,”
he continued, th e re a re available

5. An a tte m p t h a s been m ade,

to ta k e th e position of C hief of th e
F ire D ep a rtm en t out of th e com ­
petitive class, an d p u t it in to th e
exem pt class, th u s opening th e
position to political influence.
6. T h e rules of th e M unicipal

u lar Over th e R iver on D ecem ­
ber 3 ra n two item s w hich h a d
appeared in th is colum n th e p re ­
ceding T uesday — th e item about
P aul F itz p atric k groom ing h im ­
self for governor, an d th e item
a b o u t th e M ayor ordering his
com m issioners to list th e achieve­
m ents of his regim e in th e ir a n ­
nu al repo rts . . . Jo h n Crosson,
able political colum nist of th e
NY D aily News, also ca rrie d th e
O ’Dwyer squib on S u nday . . . As
a resu lt of th e F itz p atric k piece,
th e NY S ta te D em ocratic leader
was asked dow n in W ashington
how about it? H e denied he was
th in k in g ab out ru n n in g for G ov­
ernor — b u t h is denial w as c a re ­
fully couched in th e present, n ot
th e fu tu re , ten se . . .
FO R M ER SENATOR Jim M ead,
who d id n ’t get th e
political
breaks — he ra n in th e w iong
year ag ainst Dewey — will shortly
u n d erta k e a n ation-w id e lecture
tour. Not a lawyer, h e never built
u p a huge income. H e’s p lanning
th e to u r for income, an d also to
keep in touch w ith th e public . . .
D o n ’t cou nt him o ut of th e poli­
tical picture. D uring his years in
public olTice, M ead built up a resi­
du e of good will, especially w'ith
labor, th a t m ay yet pay off . . .
FO R SECRETARY of S tate,
w hy n ot a new spaperm an — a
m a n like Drew P earso n? T he
S ta te D ep artm en t career boys have
floundered
an d
bungled long
enough. P earso n m ay be a rough
a n d tum ble kind of guy, b ut he
knows th e score. H e’s called th e
tu rn on in te rn a tio n a l events tim e
an d again, an d h e ’s h it h ard where
necessary, P earson h a te s hypocricy, weaselKng, and double-talk.
His idea of th e F rien d sh ip T rain ,
a n d the careful p lan n in g and
carry in g out of th a t idea, shows
h e knows how to appeal to fo r­
eign peoples w ith a real sense of
public relations. P earson h as a
h e a r t as well as a b rain. He would
get th e facts he needs—^aitd.like a
good new spaperm an, get them'
stra ig h te r th a n some of th e close­
brain ed S tate D ep a rtm en t aristo ­
c ra ts who will ta lk to nobody b ut
th e ir social equals and God. P e a r­
son will be close to th e American
people—and probably would get
closer to th e people abroad th a n
anybody now on th e scene as a
prospective successor to G eneral
M arshall. Give it a try, P resident
T ru m an ! I t m ay tu r n out th e
m ost
