SPIRITOFTHEMERITSYSTEM
THE EX PRESSIO N “in the final analysis” is frequently
used by public speakers. The final analysis has not been
actually made of any problem facing mankind. It is fortu­
nate that this is so. Each sunrise brings the eager rush
to make things better than they were the day before. Each
relaxation in sleep is brighter because of dreams wherein
we image success in this or that venture.
The course of human events has developed the need for
the ability to analyze problems and the willingness to work
out a solution of the problems as of here and now. Govern­
ment is the big problem from the standpoint of the Asso­
ciation member. Each day the ranks of membership are
renewed by new civil service employees, just as there is an
enlistment of recruits in the public service. These recruit*
to public service are necessary to fill the places of workers
who have finished their task by reason of age or disability,
and to man new services created mostly by legislative fiat.
Concern F or G overnm ent
Concern for government is closely linked in the Association
member’s mind w ith concern for the civil service recruit
and the seasoned worker. Each young person who fills out
an application for a civil service job understands the hurdle
of an exacting examination. On the application form, he
sets forthlftiis years in school, and records his experience
in practical work. He is thrilled at the statements of
opportunity plus security which are pictured in the field
of civil service. He has read that there is a ladder within
the m erit system called the promotion ladder. He fancies
him self w ith a foot upon that ladder. He recalls that Thomas
Huxley once wrote: “The rung of a ladder was never meant
to rest upon but only to hold a man's foot long enough to
enable him to put the other foot somewhat higher.” Has he
not heard a thousand tales of builders of gigantic and suc­
cessful business enterprises rising from the most menial
jobs at the bottom to the pinnacle at the top? Some w ise
statesman, with a true vision of the needs of government
and having similar young people in mind, wrote into our
Constitution the assurance that the government of our State
and of its subdivisions should be entrusted very largely to
those who had proven merit and fitness.
L e tte r and S p irit o f M erit S y ste m
Following the Constitution, we have set up laws and
agencies to carry out the spirit and the letter of the m erit
system. Unfortunately, up to now, the experience of the
worker who has been in public service for some time does
not hold out to the new recruit the high hope which his
trust in Constitutions and laws deserves. Those who control
the political side of government have not gone the full way
along the merit system road. The efficiency and economy
inherent in recognition of training and experience in gov­
ernment agencies has not been apparent to the needful
extent. It is expensive not to encourage public employees to
aspire to top leadership. It is not economy to invite into
public service those who have not been trained for public
service, or who have not learned by experience in public
service.
It is a sad fact that the indifference of the fathers and
mothers, who have moral responsibility fer the efficiency
and righteousness of government and also to see that their
children have equal opportunity w ith any other citizen to
enter civil service, encourages patronage in politics and
the laying aside of the promotion ladder. It is obvious that
individually, and through their political and civic affiliations,
they must demand that their leaders in government, as in
business, shall be trained as well as true.
P roviding the Open Door
The civil service commissions have the first responsibility
to provide the open door of competitive tests for entry into
service and to provide promotion ladders that will extend
to the top jobs in public service. We now have in State
service more jobs exempt from the competitive tests than
ever before. At meetings of the State Civil Service Commis­
sion, requests for additional exemptions from competitive
classification are frequently approved. It would seem that
now is the time to have a new and thorough survey of
jurisdictional classification in State service with the serious
purpose of extending the competitive classification to hun­
dreds of the top jobs.
N o t F ar E nough
The exact statistics are not available as to liow far we
have gone in eliminating the incentive of the greater joy in
doing well the responsible work present in the top positions,
and in withholding the material rewards for leadership. We
have, however, not gone far enough. The fact should be
thoroughly publicized and studied by the public officials,
by public employees, and particularly by the people who
have the principal interest* in good government and the
greatest moral responsibility to maintain good government.
Because the Association exists primarily to uphold and
extend the merit system, the situation is particularly imiSoVtilttt to it.' Are wfe doiifjf 'out part?

O 'Dwyer Performs
Statesmanlike Act
I n ordering the establishment of a new career and pay
system in New York City, Mayor O’Dwyer last week
performed a statesmanlike act, which, in our opinion, will
go down as perhaps the most memorable achievement in his
career. When the job is finished, we are certain the result­
ing law will come to be known as the Magna Charta of
New York City's public employees, and will at the same
time introduce a new efficiency into the machinery of NYC
government.
The LEADER is proud that its long campaign, together
with distinguished civic organizations, is being so brilliantly
consummated.

A Career i
Security? What is security! A career? Maybe
for a displaced person from a Nazi prison camp
in private industry in this country, but for the
women who devoted their lives to this country,
for those who were too old to fight, for disabled
civilians and others who served honorably and
well as civilians during our great conflict — for­
get them ! They deserve nothing! Incredible?
Well, read some more!
A t first it did not api^ar that the number of
disabled veterans entering the Federal service
would be a serious threat to the old tim e civilian
employee. This false feeling of security was
rudely shattered when a Presidential order was
issued expediting the conferring of classified
civil service status on all temporary (w ar service
indefinite) veteran Government employees with a
disability of 10% (flat feet, etc.) or more.
N o w Follow W hat H appened
The trickle of dismissals which commenced in
1945 rose to a torrent in 1947. By that time a
court action (The Hilton Case) had been fought
and lost in the United States Supreme Court
and remedial legislation had been introduced and
shelved by' a “lobby calloused” Congress. Many
veterans, anxious to retain their positions sud­
denly developed nervous disorders, bad backs,
etc. Nobody asked for a Congressional investiga­
tion. Nobody dared!
Then came another presidential order stating
that the agencies in their discretion could confer
competitive status on the remaining w ar service
indefinite employees In the Federal service (in ­
cluding the non-disabled), provided they qualified
by examination or otherwise. Accordingly, these
temporary employees were duly processed in
accordance with the usual labyrinth of Civil Serv­
ice regulations. At the same tim e existing civil
service regulations provided that when reductions

in force were contemplated, war service mdefinite
employees should not be certified for permanent
positions where it was evident that nonA^eteran
career employees would be displaced. Faced with
a choice of two procedures and with the leaders
of the various veterans groups on their necks, a
number of agencies (of which the Veterans Ad­
ministration was one of the worst offenders)
went right ahead and conferred permanent status
on thousands of war service indefinite veterans
throughout the country and before the very same
fiscal year was up, handed out an equivalent
number of dismissal notices to old-time career
employees . . . thrown out into the streets by a
careless Congress, lobBy-pressured agencies —
and with the Civil Service Commission looking
on and saying, “Who, me?”
For a while it seemed that the U. S. Civil
Service Commission was really trying to help.
Displaced career employees lists were set up and
various agencies were induced to place a certain
number of non-veterans, hit by the “Unlimited
Superseniority Act of 1944.” However, like all
other gestures, that aid was short lived. Said one
bitter U. S. employee, who had given 22 years of
his life to government service: “Today you have
to go out and fish for yourself, and if you are
over forty you had better buy a tin cup and a
dozen pencils. The government agencies, like
private industry, are ‘age’ conscious.
“Security in the Federal Service? Where’s my
lantern T*
Of the many hundreds of veterans laws, the
National Association of Federal Career Em­
ployees is opposed to NONE. Its official position
is this: “We are for the veteran 100%, but it is
our sincere contention and conviction that the
liquidation of the Federal Career System is detri­
mental to the veteran as well as the United States
. . . that is, ALL THE PEOPLE I”

non-veteran’s privilege to “re­
treat” to a lower classified job is
not effective as he is permitted to
retreat only against non-veterans,
and still rem ains subject to
“bump.”
This system has particularly
affected the career employees of
the
Veterans
Adm inistration,
where a substantial reductionin-force is now imder way. Eight
thousand em ployees have received
separation notices effective June
1 1 , and officials have stated th at
additional lay-offs are In the off­
ing for another 19,000.
W hen R olis Were High
The Association points out th a t
the law was passed at the peak
of World War n , when Federal
employment rolls were at an alltime high. The provisions of the
law could not then have been
readily foreseen. Up to now, reductions-In-force throughout the
government service affected prin­
cipally em ployees hired during the
war who never had acquired com ­
petitive C?ivil Service status. To­
day only veterans and non-veter­
ans w ith com petitive status are
left, w ith non-veterans compris­
ing about 54 per cent of the total.
N on-veterans were able to acquire
status only before th e war, which
means they have from seven up
to thirty-five years of service. On
the other hand, m ost of th e vet­
erans are recently appointed, and
received Civil Service status by
reason of th e benefits in the Vet­
erans Preference Act.
The cam paign of the Federal
Career Employees Association is
to correct the abuse stem m ing
from unreasonable superseniority.
For th e remainder of th e veteranpreference program, th e Associa­
tion has nothing but praise and
support.

If th e Senate were to operate
as the Federal Civil Service does
today, the following would result
under Section 12 of th e Veterans
Preference A ct (Pub. 359, 78th
C ongress):
A reduced Senate budget would
cause th e layoff of Senators. As­
sum e th a t funds were provided for
only 56 Instead of 96 Senators. If
45 were veterans, they would re­
m ain In preference to 1 1 non­
veterans! I t m ay be th at among
those 30 non-veteran Senators
laid off, there would be the M a­
jority Leader and Chairmen of
ten Important Sen ate Committees,
as well as a host of em inently
qualified men.
The above exam ple is anc^ogous
to
th e bizarre, fantastic situa­
tions occurring today in the
Federal Civil Service during lay­
offs. where:
displaced by a non-disabled
veteran, even though the am ­
putee m ay have an excellent
efficiency rating.
6 . The Manager of an agehcy,
as a non-veteran, can be dis­
placed by a veteran assistant
manager, or by a veteran with
an even lower grade.
«. A non-veteran Chief of »
INvision is reduced to a lower
grade to be supervised by an
employee over whom this Chief
formerly had jurisdiction.
Deceptively Simple
All this can be and Is being
^xjom plished by th e deceptively
sto p le language of Section 12 of
th e Veterans Preference Act, which
reads:
“In reduction In personnel

There is no objection to prefer­
ences for veterans on induction,
sm ee non-veterans are permitted
to compete in exam ination. There
is objection to absolute prefer­
ence on retention which com ­
pletely elim inates the non-veteran
from com petition.
Because of this. Senate Bill 660
and H.R. 2446 have been intro­
duced to amend Section 1 2 of the
Veterans .Preference .Act. .T h e
harm ful operation of the law was
obviously not foreseen when it was

Street, attorney for Mr. D onovan,
asked th e w itness if any action
of th at type had been taken at
th e May, 1946 m eeting, and he
answered af^ m a tlvely . Mr. Car­
ton read from th e m inutes a res­
olution introduced, but it tum od,
out, from the record, th a t the
resolution was laid over and fin al­
ly withdrawn. Mr. Carton Insisted
it was adopted.
R ecollection More R eliable
“I assure you th at perm anent
action was taken,” Mr. Carton
told th e attorney.
“You couldn’t show it in th e
m inutes,” retaliated Mr. W olfl.
T he m inutes of th e m eeting,
w hich were produced in court,
were prepared by Patrolm an
Thom as F . Dugan, who had been
recording secretary for seven
years.
Your recollection is more re­
liable?” asked Mr. W olff of the
w itness.
“To som e exten t,” was th e re­
ply.
Mr. Carton explained th a t Mr.
D ugan w as not a stenographer,
th a t th e m inutes were n ot taken
down in shorthand, and th at
therefore they were only abstracts.
T lie constitution and bylaws of
th e PBA are In evidence before
Official R eferee Peter Schm uck,
conducting th e trial in Room 248,
Supreme Court Court House.
Mr. W olfl stated th a t Mr. Car­
ton's own affidavit declared th a t
those were th e constitution and
bylaws in effect w hen th e 1948
election was held, requiring th e
m ethods alleged not to have been
followed.
Explains Departure

also require thait a list o f th e
