T he new benefit begins on Ju ly

v o l u n t a r y contribu tion s from
salary, vip to 50 per cen t of n o r­
m al deductions for annu ity, on
salary up to $7,500 a year.
Assn. Backed Bill
As th e re tire m e n t allowance
consists of th e an n u ity financed by
th e em ployee’s payroll contributions, and th e pension financed
by th e St ate on a t least an equal
basis, adding 50 per c e n t to th e
an n u ity would produce a m axim um
increase of 25 per cent in th e
retire m en t allowance over th e full
m em ber-service period. T h e a t ­
tractiveness of th e new provision
lies in th e low cost a t w hich th e
ad d itio n al a n n u ity m ay be p u r ­
chased, com pared to com m ercial
rates.
T he new law was backed by th e
C om ptroller and T he Civil Service
Employees Association. T he s ta t­
u te involves no ex tra contribution
by th e S tate, b u t th e additional

By' JESSK B. Mcl^'AKI.ANO
1st Vice-President, T h e Civil Service Employees A ssociation
THIS past Sunday was designated “1 am an American
Day.’' Every citizen of this country undoubtedly spent some
little time in serious thought as to the meaning of being
an American, together with the attendant blessings. And
blessings they are, most assuredly. Let us reverse the process
and dwell on the benefits first. Benefits perhaps, but privi­
leges certainly.
We travel across state lines without having to register
with the police. Change jobs without governmental sanction.
Attend any school of our choice. Join any or many various
organizations. Belong openly to a political party. Attend
our particular church or house of worship, and many others
too numerous to list.
Now to put first things last. There are the responsibilities
that accompany the benefits: to be a good citizen, to register
and vote at each election; evidence an interest in all branches
of government, enter into civic and community projects,
expressing our opinions and thoughts on all matters per-^
taining to the public good; by the payment of required
taxes for the support of government; by service in the
Armed Services in time of war.
Free assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of worship,
freedom , a great word, protecting you from being spirited
away in the middle of the night by party jwlice or soldiers,
preventing your government from throwing you into labor
and torture camps, and oh so many things.
But freedom and being an American entail our granting
to all others, that which we want for ourselves— no bigotry,
no color line, no national background label. All living to­
gether in peace and, at least, near harmony.
As Americans, there is no place in our ideologies or daily
life for isms, except one, Americanism. That applies specifi­
cally to all public servants such as we. Our loyalty to our
government, municipal, state and federal, has been ably
demonstrated by our fulfilling of daily tasks in a wholesome
manner. Let us not forget our blessings and the attendant
responsibilities. This is a great state and country. Working
and believing together, w e can keep it as such.

How Long Should It

It isn’t generally known that in the City of New York
there ai’e still seven volunteer lire companies. These are
located in outlying sections.
It isn’t generally known that not a single new firehouse
lias been established since the \Vo»‘ld’s Fail'! Yet in those
ton years the ( ’ity has flexed and grown, with the ia r
sections of Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island heavily
built up in the meantime.
It isn’t generally known that while, in the older parts
of town, it is possible foi’ fire engines to reach a fire in 2 ‘/ 2
minutes or loss, it sometimes takes up to 8 minutes to reach
a fire in the outlying areas. In 8 minutes, a (ire can do an
awful lot of damage— and cost the citizens a lot more money
than it woukl cost to man the department fully.
5 5 -Year Retirement
B ill-Law Next Year?
W
ill there be 5r)-year State retirement bill next year?
This is the biggest question which LEADER correspon­
dents keep hearing in all pai'ts of the State, from county,
local, and State employees in the State Retirement System.
Oui‘ answer, on the basis of the best available evidence,
is: Yes. The work that was done at the recent session of
the Legislature, and'the slim edge which held up passage of
the bill, are not forever lost. If political experience means
anytliing, it means that the bill will become law next year.
But no one can predict the economic situation nine months
from now.
The groundvvoik must be laid. Employee groups who are
ko(‘])ing their local legislators “on top” about this bill are
actting wisely. The legislature and the executive branch of
government must be constantly made aA vare of the im­
portance of this measure to public employees.
l>y next January, the groundswell of sentiment favoring
the bill must be so overwhelming that It will pass “in a
broez('.”
A Dirty Situation
Provides an Example
E ^lsewheio in this issue is the story of civil service as it
-^jxistod in Lackawanna, and what the State Civil Service
C’ommission did to break up a dirty situation there.
The crusading spirit illustrated in that job is the sort
of appi’oach which— if practiced with unending zeal—
would bring now respect and prestige to the merii system
and to civil service bodies everywhere.
A clean civil service is necessarily a vigorous, healthy,
and enterprising civil service.

Governor's Ambitions
T here is renewed speculation in
th e daily press th a t th e G overnor
h as not given up his P residential
am bitions a n d hopes for a radical
sh ift in tiie n ation al political scene
w hich would enable him to m ake
a th ird bid for th e W hite House
or a play for th e U. S. S e n a to rship. The papers are speculating
th a t m uch will depend cn th e
reception w hich Mr. Dewey reveives on his highly-pubiic^zed
trip to Europe an d th e rea ctio n to
th e trip in th e cou n try ’s press.
D o n’t R ep eat T his disagrees.
T his colum n holds to its analysis
th a t th e G overnor is concerned
n o t witii ru n n in g again for th e
Presidency— but w ith th e power
to n am e th e next G O P c a n d id a te
to th a t office; and to exercise th is
power, h e m ust hold on to th e
New York S ta te governorship, an d
control his p arty here an d. if
possible, nationally. We a re in ­
clined to accept a t face value tiae
sta te m en t of th e reason for tiie
G overnor’s trip : v acation an d
dram atics.
Som e are saying, “How could it
be a vacation? H e’s n o t restin g .”
G overnor Dewey is a m an to w'hom
a vacation is n o t only re st; it ca n
consist of seeing an d doing new
things. H e took along w ith him
Mrs. Dewey an d P au l Lockwood,
his secaetaiy. P aul, whose com ­
pany th e G overnor enjoys, h as
been with him before w hen he h as
gone off to have fun. None of his
big b rain tru st m en a re w ith him
on th is trip.

will work well together. . . .

T he M etropolitan New York

a t th e 71st R egim ent Armory,
NYC.
I n th e absence of b o th C h a ir­

of illness, Sidney A lexander, of

W H A T E M P LO Y E E S
S H O U LD K N O W
Veteran''s R ig h ts to M e m o r ia l D a y O ff
By TH EODORE BEC K ER
I f you are a v eteran of W orld
W ar I or n you are en titled to
tim e ofl on M em orial D ay (Ar­
m istice Day) w ithou t loss of pay.
F ailure of your ap p o in tin g ofRcer
to g ra n t you such leave of a b ­
sence will be deem ed neglect of
d .ty unless a n exception w ritten
Into th e law la st y ear applies
to your case. T he Public Ofncers
Law provides th a t such leave m u st
be granted “except w here such
action would en d an g er th e p u b ­
lic safety or th e safety or h e a lth
of persons cared for by th e S ta te .”
B u t in such case you are “entitled
to leave of absence w ith pay on
a n o th e r day ni lieu th ereo f.”
I t is clear th a t these provisions
apply equally to per a n n u m and
to per diem employees. As to
employees paid on a per ann^.m
basis, it is a relatively sim ple m a t­
te r to com pensate them for re ­
quiring them to work on Mem­
orial (or Arm istice) D ay where
th e above exception does not
apply.
Per Diem Case H arder
B ut th e problem is h a rd e r in
th e case of per diem employees.
In fact, th e Courts were I’ecently
called upon to decide such a
case. As to employees paid on
a per diem, hourly, sem i-m onthly
or m onthly basis, th e law p ro ­
vides th a t th e leave g ran te d shall
be w ithout “deduction in v ac a­
tion allowance or budgetary a l­
lowable num ber of working days.”
A w ar veteran employed on a
per diem basis h a d been told n o t
to rep ort for work on M em orial
D ay an d Arm istice D ay an d was
n o t com pensated for those days.
He brought suit to compel p a y ­
m ent.
T he C ourt w hich h e a rd the case
felt th a t those em ployed on an
a n n u a l basis who were compelled
to work on e ith er of th e specified
days, in violation of th e plain
m a n d a te of th e s ta tu te , are e n ­
titled to th e equivalent thereof
eith er in tim e off or com pensa­
tion, As to those em ployed on a
per diem basis w ith a g u aran teed
m inim um n u m b e r of w orking days,
th e C ourt fe lt t h a t th e ir rig h t
to com pensation would depend on
th e fa c ts in each p a rtic u la r case.
Basts For D eduction
In asm u c h as th e appointing
officer is n o t u n d e r a n obligation
to employ th e per diem appointee
on any specified days, if th e reg­
u lar assig nm ent d id n o t call for
him to work on eith er or b o th of
th e specified days th e need for
leave did n ot exist a n d th e re was
no requirem ent on th e p a r t of
th e appointin g officer to g ra n t it.
In jthe absence of such obligation
no rig h t to com pensation existed.
On th e o th e r h an d , th e C ourt
held th a t th e ap pointing officer
was u n der a n obligation to r e ­
fra in from com pelling a per diem
employee who was also a veteran
of W orld W ar I or II to work on
eith er of th e specified days. If
th e appointin g officer violated this
la tte r obligation, he could n ot in ­
clude th e tim e so w orked as p a rt
of th e budgetary allowable n u m ­
ber of working days. T he Court
concluded, therefore, th a t those
per diem employees who were
compelled to work on eith er M em­
orial Day or A rm istice Day in
violation of th e m a n d a te of th e
Legislature were en titled to th e
equivalent in com pensation in a d ­
dition to com pensation for th e
g u aran teed n u m b e r of working
days.
