vice Employees Association wants
the State Civil Service Commis­
sion to do something positive about
extending competitive status to
employees in State and local ser­
vice who don’t have it now.
In a letter to the three com­
missioners, Dr. Frank L. Tolman
made the Association’s view sharp­
ly clear in this matter. Dr. Tol­
man wrote:
“Prom time to time, the Otvil
Service Employees Association haa
called to the attention of the Civil
Service Commission some odf the
major pending problems of civil
service as we see them. The C om­
mission has also in its wisdom seen
problems under consideration.
“I believe it has been demon­
strated that the deep interest we
^are in our major objectives
makes consultation and coopera­
tion productive.
“It is my hope that the major
and very real difficulties that
stand in the way of good civil
service adminifijtration may be
met by a solid front of the C o m ­
mission and the employees.
"The major problem is, of
course, the jurisdictional classi­
fication of jobs which can prop­
erly be filled by competitive ex­
amination as exempt, labor* or
non -competitive.

ALBANY, Jan. 8— Bertram D.
Tallamy, State Superintendent of
Public Works, says one of the
reasons his Department has had
difficulty in recruiting civil en­
gineers is the inadequacy of pres­
ent State salary scales. He added
that this is borne out by a De­
partment survey of the engineering
field in private and governmental
jurisdictions.
This statement from the archi­
tect of the State’s vast highway
program came as nearly 1,700
State engineers sought salary in­
creases before the State Salary
Standardization Board.
Insufficient Number
A second reason, among many,
he said, was the country-wide
shortage of civil engineers. “Col­
leges and technical schools just
aren’t turning out civil engineers
in the number needed to meet
the demands,” he added.

WHAT MAKES FOR GREATNESS IN PUBLIC LIFE
A
c c o r d i n g to Winston Churchill, among the essential
characteristics of Greatness in public life are love of
country, respect for the laws, sensitiveness to public opinion,
hatred of evil and oppression, and a great generous heart.
Winston drew these conclusions from the character of a
former Governor of N e w York.
M a n y Americans would go along with Winston until
his last requisite, a generous heart. The ultra-conservative
in political parties, often indicate that in their opinion gen­
erosity should be confined to the inner circle or perhaps en­
tirely eliminated from statecraft. Yet Mr. Churchill is
right. Our greatest national leaders all deserve the n a m e
of Bunyan’s immortal prototype “Mr. Greatheart." Indeed
they were distinct from and superior to their fellows by
reason of this characteristic more than by any other traits.
Lincoln of course is the best example, for his greatness of
heart is not obscured by other facets of his character. His
great heart was the key to his every act.
waixl pay increases for employees
^n 9 engineering titles was re­
vealed as the State Salary Board
tentatively scheduled a hearing on
the engineers’ appeal for early in
February.
Mr. Tallamy said: “The De­
partment will be represented at
the hearing,”

Board
held a hearing on the proposal to
combine titles of Senior and As­

Physician into one title: Compen­
sation Examining Physician. At
present, the senior title calls for
$5,000 a year salary to start, and
the associate title, $6,000. If ap­
proved, the next step will be the
allocation of a salary for the new
title. The proposal affects some 50
doctors in the State Insurance

“the matter is in the hands of
Deputy Coiiimissioner Brumfield.
Approximately 300 employees
are involved in the controversy
under which, at the present time,
these workers are donating 2Va
hours of work every week to the

told The LEADER: “In all fair­

The A.ssociation has appealed to
the State Civil Service Commis­

The annual Christmas Party of
the Westcihester Chapter, The
Civil Service Employees Associa­
tion, Inc., was held in the Little
Theater of the County Center at
White Plain.s, and was a great
success despite adverse weather
conditions which held down at­
tendance. About 200 were present
and enjoyed dancing to music
supplied by an orchestra led by
Herbert*' A. Turner of Public
Works. Assisting in tihc distribu­
tion of courtesy tokens were Act­
ing County Executive James C.
Harding and Mrs. Harding, and
Paul R. Brown, Warden of the
Penitentiary. The prizes went to
William O. Boaton. Toll Opera­
tions; Agnes Saimders, Public
Works; Charles McLellan, Recrea­
tion; James Murphy and Anne
Fund, Public Welfare. Ceremonies
were conducted by the Unit Presi­
dent, Michael J. Cleary (Grass­
lands), and the party was arran­
ged and the holiday rexreshments
served under the supervision oX
Francis J. McNulty, Dfjputy Coun­
ty Clerk, Entertainment Chair­
man, assisted by Margaret M.
Luongo and Nellie R. Weeks,
County Clerk’s Office, and Solo­
mon Leider of Grasslands.
In attendance were various
County officials and high offlcers
of Westchester Chapter »nd the
tftate Association.
The Niagaia Chapter of The
Civil Service Employees Associa­
tion was the primary factor in a
$180 bonus granted for the com­
ing year through 1949 to all coun­
ty employees. The County Chap­
ter salary committee consisting of
President Howard L. Kayner,
William M. Doyle, Harold J. M c ­
Cabe, Henry B. Nevins and Clin­
ton Hermanson met with the salai-y committee of the Board of
Supervisors of Niagara County.
The Niagara Chapter had asked
for a $400 pay raise and the con­
tinuation of the $300 bonus cur­
rently in eflfect. President Kayner
and the members of the commit­
tee presented facts and figures to
show the need for a salary In­
crease. It wa sagreed that civil
service employees were in need of
a salary increase but the super­
visors adopted the position that a
depression or lull is in the near
future, therefore the employees
should be happy with a bonus
which can be dropped at the end
(rf 1949. It is the opinion of the
Niagara Chapter that civil ser­
vice employees are always one pay
raise behind industry. The chap­
ter says it is extremely regret­
table that such conditions should
exist but it is felt that in the
future the entire State and Coun­
ty divisions of the Association
will make themselves heard and
civil service will hold attraction
for prospective job seekers.
Westchester Chapter of The
Civil Service Employees Associa­
tion, Inc., whidi is engaged in an
extensive membership campaign,
announces the beginning of a new
Local Unit in the town of Mamaroneck with the enrollment of
a large majority of the employees
of Westchester Joint Water Works,

A Resignation's Effect on Disciplinary Proceedil y
By THIODORE BECKER
IF Y O U are up on charges of
■ of incompetency or misconduct,
or are advised that such charges
are to be preferred against you,
don’t think that your resignation
will automatically close the case.
A resignation Is often resorted to
by an employee who is either
guilty of the charges or feels him­
self unable to disprove them to
the satisfaction of the removing
authority, especially where no
right to a hearing and to crossexamine witnesses is afforded.
The removing agency, on the
other hand, may be inclined to
favor a resignation even where
adequate evidence of Incompeten­
cy or misconduct exists In order
to avoid the unpleasantness of
a removal proceeding, especially
where a formal hearing on the
charges must be held. If the res­
ignation is mutually desired and
agreed upon, the employee should
be careful to obtain a stipulation
discontinuing a n y disciplinary
proceeding that may have been
commenc^ against him. If he
doesn’t, he has no assurance that
the proceeding will not be con­
tinued and his removal on charges
accomplished despite his resig­
nation.
Resignation No Bar
In a case decided by the Court
of Appeals more than ten years
ago. it was held that the resig­
nation of an Income tax exam­
iner dming the pendency of
charges brought against him by
the State Department of ’Tax­
ation and Finance did not ter­
minate the removal proceeding.
The court reasoned that if re­
moval was the only result of the
proceeding then resignation should
terminate it. But, as the court
pointed out, a person removed
from public employment may be
barred from holding further office
in the discretion of the civil ser­
vice commission having jurisdic­
tion. To permit a resignation to
terminate the disciplinary pro­
ceeding, therefore, would deprive
the civil service commission of
the right to disqualify for future
examinations. There being this

M r .M a y o r - L e t th e J o b
S tu d y R e a lly D o a J o b !
M
a y o r O ’D W Y E R last w eek reiterated that he fav­
ors a reclassilication of N Y C employees.
W e are
glad he is thinking seriously along these lines. The
L E A D E R has been urging over a long period that a reclassilicalion should got under w a y — and thus hit at the
very heart of N e w Yo rk’s awful personnel mess.
J^ut, as M e’ve said before, the job must not be done
in a half-baked, half-hearted, unprofessional manner.
'I’he blunt facts are these: Rec:assification is a tre­
mendous job. It can’t be done in six months by Budget
Director Patterson, Civil Service Commission President
McNamaj-a and a few employees w h o aren’t equipped for
this kind of -specialty, don’t have a feel for it and don’t
fundamentally k n o w what’s involved, however valuable
they m a y be in their regular spheres as public officials.
A real job of i-eclassification— so sorely needed in N e w
York (Uty— can only be done by a staff with deep under­
standing and experience in what reclassification involves.
It will take at least a year, possibly longer, and will cost
at least $250,000, possibly more.
Reclassilication is a
highly technical task, requiring trained people, a staff of
sufficient size, and ample time. Every single operation
performed by every City employee must be studied. The
operations performed in the City must be compared and
contrasted with similar operations elsewhere. Out-oi-title
work must be located and scrutinized scientifically. Pro­
motion lines, from top to bottom, must be established. It
is not at all unusual to ask 100 separate questions about a
single position.
A superficial approach will not help the City’s per­
sonnel problem, will not uncover the great inequities, will
not streamline CMty government, will not allay the de­
m a n d s of those who, in the interest of good government,
want a thorough-going job.
W e need only call attention to the remarkable effici­
ency which resulted from the reclassification of N e w York
State positions under (Governor Lehman. That’s the kind
of reclassification w e need in N e w York City. There are
people w h o can honestly advise the Ma y o r on the nature

P ro te s te d
the Court of Appeals decision in
the Police Sergeant case, permits
the Commission to delete ques­
tions or give more than one key
answer that will be deemed cor­
rect. The tentative key contained
no multiple correct answers,
tihough protests might result in
some.
The reservation on key answers
read:
“The Commis'slon, in establish­
ing key answers to this test, re­
serves the right to determine
which of the answers listed for
each question is to be deemed and
accredited as a-cceptable, and
v^hether more tihan one of the
answers listed for each question
iy to be deemed acceptable and
accredited as such. The Commis­
sion further reserves the right to
cancel and annul any question,
whenever upon inquiry, it deems
that none of the listed answers
thereto can properly be considered
as acceptable.”
Some Candidates Got 100 P.C.
Some of the candidates got 100
per cent on the basis of the ten­
tative key, including non-veter­
ans who wonder if they’ll get a
job offer. They include provisionals now serving in the title.
Among provisionals about 25 per
cent are veterans. If half of the
candidates pass, or 475, and 25
per cent are veterans, 118 veter­
ans would head the list. The total
provisionals in the title number
about 60.
Digest of Sample Protests
Some of the protests:
Question 7 — An investigator
finds that a firm’s bookkeeper may
be stealing its funds. They key
answer (B) is. Advise the firm.
The protest is that a $2,710 In­
vestigator should not undertake
policy decisions, nor report to his

non-employer, but Include the
findings in his report (D).
Que.stion 9 — A person claims
damages against the city and the
Investigator gets an anonymous
letter saying that the claimant
mistreats his wife and children.
Key answer (D), disregard the
letter as irrelevant. Protest: anti­
social acts are relevant to a per­
son’s character, hence credibility,
so that if the charges prove true,
the claim against the city might
well be proved false. An investi­
gator must not abdicate his re­
sponsibilities as a citizen and
Ignore possible crime clues. Re­
quest: strike out question.
Question 17— ^Does the questionsand-answer method of Interview
increase the range but decrease
the accuracy? Key answer (A)
says yes. Objection: the question
is subjective and can not be ans­
wered. Request: strike it out.
Question 34— A summons may
be served (C) at any hour of the
day or night, any day of the week,
except Sunday. Objection: civil
and criminal summonses are in
that category, but summonses for
offenses are not; traffic violation
and Park Department violation
summonses may be served also on
Sunday. Request: eliminate ques­
tion.
Summonses and Records
Question 35— A person refuses
to accept service of a summons so
(C) leave it on a table before him
in his presence. Protest: the .sum­
mons may also be thiust in his
lap (A), if done without violence
or assault. (Anderson vs. Abeel,
96 A.D. 370). Request: declare
(A) and (C) correct answers.
Question 59— Compensating use
tax records are kept In (D) the
Department of Finance, Protest:
skeleton records are, but the per­
manent and name-indexed records
are forwarded to and kept by the
Bureau of Special Taxes, Comp­
troller’s office, 74 Trinity Place,
Request: (B), Comptroller’s office,
should be counted correct, too.
Question 79— Immigration visa
Information Is obtainable from
(I) the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service. Protest:
the Service is interested only in
the date of a visa’s expiration;
the Department of State (A)
keeps the visa records. Request:
declare (A) the only correct ans­
wer.
Yesterday (Monday) was the
last day for filing protests. The
weig^hting will be announced in
10 days.

In v e s tig a to r
Tho protests against tentative
key answers In the Investigator
examination are being studied by
the N YC Civil Service Commis­
sion.
There were 1166 applicants, of
whom about 950 took the wi'itten
test on Saturday, December 18.
The iir»tests were said not to
be numerous. When the final key
is validated the respective v/eight.s
will be assigned to three bra-ckets
of questions. One bracket had 40
C[uestions, the two others 20 eadh.
Hence until the weights are an­
nounced, borderline candidates
won’t be able to estimate closely
whether they passed.
Two Reservations
The examination paper j;etforth:
“Any Question In a battery has
the same weig^ht as any other
question in that battery, but the
questions in one battery do not
necessarily have the same weight
as the questions in another bat­
tery. The Commission i-eserves the
right to ascribe different weigli'ts
to the questions in the several
batteries dependent upon their
nature and difficulty,”
Another reservation, induced by

The Maintenance Men’s court
proceeding to set aside Comptrolrler’s Lazarus Jo.<?eph’s determina­
tion setting $1.16 per hour
the
prevailing ra)te will be argued in
the Appellate Division this month.
Last February, after hearings,
the Comptroller made the determ­
ination. The Maintenance Men
employed in the Department of
Hospitals
accepted. However,
other Maintenance Men refused.
Samuel Resnicolf, of 280 Broad­
way, Manhattan, counsel for the
Department of Welfare Mainten­
ance Men, instituted a proceed­
ing which was consolidated with
the action instituted by Gabrielli
and Gabrielli, attorneys for other
petitioning Maintenance Men.
Mr. Resnicoff objected to the
Comptroller’s survey for failure to
consider pay of Maintenance Men
of utility companies, and that the
Comptroller should have first de­
termined the nature of the work
performed by the Maintenance
Men and then included in his
survey the rate of wages paid by
private industry to employees per­
forming similar work.
The Messrs Gabrielli in their
brief challenge the Comptroller’s
determination on four grounds.
It Is expected that the position
of the Corporation Counsel before
the Appellate Division will be
similar to the arguments he urged
before the Comptroller, that the
Comptroller’s survey was proper,
fair and legal and that no errors
were committed.
Higher Pay In Jobs
Now Part of Grading
Theodore H. Lang, of the per­
sonnel office of the N Y C Board
of Education, won approval of
the Municipal Civil Service C o m ­
mission of his request to have the
civil service grading reflect pay
increases for Senior Lunchroom
Helper. The new pay is $2,280;
the old was $1,660, Increases of
$250 are involved, plus $370 bonus.
The Supervisor of Clinics title,
Health Department, was approved
for inclusion of tuberculosis and
venereal disease specialties. The
Medical Supervisor title was elim­
inated.
William Brody, personnel officer
of the department, said that one
position in the Bureau of Tuber­
culosis and another in the Bureal of Social Hygiene would be
affected.
Irving Greenberg, of the Board
of Higher Education, and William
R. Taylor, of Brooklyn College,
asked that $500 additional be in­
cluded in the classification for
Accountant (College). The C o m ­
mission voted approval.

■y MORTON YAAMON
The N Y C Civil Service Commis­
sion has a 500-examination goal
for 1949. The new examinations
are expected to run from 40 to 45
a month. The largest number last
year was 43. The January list has
42.
To help speed up the holding of
examinations. President Joseph A.
McNamara, of the Commission,
O btained the cooperation of Budg­
et Director Thomas J. Patterson.
After the Idea of holding a par­
ticular examination is approved
by the Conunlssion an examina­
tion notice is drawn up and sent
to the Budget Director, who passes
on the budgetary features. After
his approval is obtained the ex­
amination is given a place by the
Commission on the schedule of
opening dates.
Batch of Exams Approved
A whole sheaf of examination
notices was approved by Mr. Pat­
terson last week. The Commis­
sion had argued that the notices
concerned titles in which there
was a considerable number of pro­
visionals ,or impermanent employ­
ees who’d never passed an exami­
nation in the title, and who would
be replaced by eligibles as soon as
an eligible list was promulgated.
This also coincided with Mayor
William O ’Dwyer’s wishes, as he
has asked for monthly reports on
the number of provisionals. At
present the number is above 27,000, a drop of 1,000 since Octo­
ber 31, and in less than six weeks
2.000 to 3,000 more replacements
are expected by June 30 next,
21.000 provisionals would be re­
placed by permanent employees,
leaving 7,000 as the more or less
standstill number. There were
o n
P r o v is io n a ls
nearly 3,000 provisionals when the
city had 24,000 employees thirty
years ago.
To be able to furnish the Mayor
promptly with monthly reports on
the number of provisionals, the
Commission is establishing a dual
system, consisting of control, plus
machine carding, so that on any
day it will be able to say how
many provisionals were on the
payroll yesterday. John Curren,
head of the Commission’s payroll
division, is in charge of this work.
Mayor Has a Reason
As the Mayor is seeking re­
nomination, he doesn’t want to en­
ter the 1949 campaign with the
necessity of having to apologize
for tens of thousands of provi­
sionals on the payroll.

Herzstein vs. Lazarus
U P IN Albany they’re talking
about the sourness which exists
between towering, bright, softspoken, pipe-smoking Harold Herzstein, legislative representative for
New York City, and tiny, toughtalking, swif't-motioned Reuben
Lazarus, who preceded Herzstein
in the legislative post, and who is
now working for the Republicancontrolled Assembly Ways and
Means Committee. Both Herzstein
and Lazains have encyclopaedic
minds, and maybe even a bit of
jealousy exists between them. Both
are working for different interests.
Both have done a good job for the
City of New York. The political
boys in Albany are watching with
interest as this Lincoln-Douglas
feud quietly develops.

Reclassification Procedure Is Set
■y
H.
J.
le ilN A IIO
The pattern that will be fol­
lowed in the reclassiflcaWon of
N Y C job titles, and the adoption
of uniform grading of positions,
was outlined to The LEADER by
the two men whom Mayor William
O ’Dwyer has appointed to head
the underl,aking— Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson and Presi­
dent Joseph A. McNamara, of the
Municipal Civil Service Commist>ion. The five-point plan follows:
— A comparative analysis of all
titles and reduction of the
number of titles, by consolidation
and elimination, for simplifying
the entire grading.
— Revision of titles, wtiere prac­
ticable, to have them describe
the nature of the duties per­
formed, but with frank exceptions
In the cases of titles not suscep­
tible to fine differentiation, such
as Cleric.
P a rk
a n d
— An invitation to employee or­
ganizations, civic associations,
individuals and the public gener­
ally to offer suggestions and rec­
ommendations, and to attend
public h'carings that are to be
held before any changes are
made.
— A guarantee that, whatever
changes are effectuated, none
would adversely affect any pres­
ent permanent city employee.
— A pay plan that will result
in fewer grades, with broader
pay spans. For instance, the five
