Civil service h a s been com pul­
sory In th e m u nicipalities since
1884 by a m e n d m e n t to th e New
Y ork Civil Service A ct of 1883.
T h e g round should be well laid by
now for equitable an d s ta n d a r d ­
ized sa la ry wage scales. T h e need
to a d ju st a n d establish city sal­
aries on sound principles is long
overdue. H ere, again, th e S ta te
Civil Service Com mission, w hich

is in a favored position to rec­
om m end fa ire r a n d m ore adequate
pay scales in th e various com ­

M erge Is E ssential
As a first essential ste p in
achieving a n ad eq u ate an d equit­

EVERYBODY'S DOING IT
m
he favorite pastime for the Summer Dog Days is pro­
phecy of the American economic future, particularly tiie
output of real w^ealth and its probable distribution in wages,
salaries, inventories, plant expansion and profits.
It helps to look ahead if one looks clearly and avoids
hallucinations and mirages. No economic crime is more das­
tardly than to willfully betray our future hopes and poten­
tialities for personal or i^litical profit. To sell America short
in these fateful days is beyond pardon. To think of a
“Democratic" (depression as good for Republicans is treason
to the nation.
It must always be remembered that the people can make
or control their future. The people are or can be masters
of their fate. They can command prosperity or they can
through inertia, suspicion and doubt create stagnation and
depression.
Our free economic system is susceptible to every current
of popular suspicion, distrust and even lack of understand­
ing of the forces that make for maximum production and
general prosperity.
To Overcome Crises by W isdom
To overcome crises by wisdom and courage makes a state
great. To surrender to difficulties is the mark of the little
man or the puny state.
The Association has more than an academic interest in
the economic policy of the nation and of the state. It often
happens that the state itself is the deciding factor as between
good times and bad. It often happens that politics make
difficult a united front by all public agencies against catastrophies that might be averted. We must work for a greater,
more efficient and more united Empire State, worthy of
its great past and dedicated to the welfare of all, if we
are to deserve better things for ourselves. We must produce
much in service to earn much in pay.
*
It is my hope that every public employee may be in­
formed of the economic health of the nation and of the
state so that he may make his particular contribution to
sound thinking on our difficult problems.
I would like him to realize that we have come to a new
period of after-war adjustment. It is not yet certain just
what policies and programs may be required to meet this
new phase, but it is certain that panic and playing politics
will make things worse rather than better.
Economy Sound
The experts generally agree that the American economy
is essentially sound. It may need a little tonic and a little
let-down from war-time tensions. Our economy does not
need amputation or general wage-cuts or shut-downs. It
can do more for America and for the world than it has
ever done if it is given tlie chanco. Tho fatal ('rror is to
needlessly tinker with the works that make the economy go.

he ineffable Mr. Raymond M. Hilliard, NYC Welfare
Commissioner, has proudly come up w ith a surplus —
nearly $10,000,000 from its 1948-49 budget. Nice?
No — it isn’t nice at all. It isn’t nice when one considers
what has happened to relief budgets in this period during
which the surplus accumulated. It isn’t nice when one con­
siders the pay — often miserable pay — of the trained
workers in that department. Mr. Hilliard reports that his
payroll saving alone in this period reached $2,342,552. That
money came out of the hides of overworked, driven, tense,
underpaid, employees. Raymond M. Hilliard unwittingly
provides the strongest argument to prove that salaries in
the Welfare Department could be, should be, can be, and
must be brought up to decent levels.
Mr. Hilliard has a record of accumulating surpluses in
his former Illinois job. It seems to us that a relief adminifitrator requires larger motivations than to show how big
a surplus he can accumulate. That surplus can come from
only two sources — the poor and the employees.

I ; is not a proud achievement that among all the comnunities in the United States, Westchester County — prob­
ably the wealthiest — has with undue haste and acclaim
rushed to cut the salaries of its employees.
The publicly-cited reason is an “agreement’' with the
employees that their salaries would be tied to the cost
of living index — going up when the index rises, down
when it falls. But the fact is that no public record exists
of such an agreement, and the employee representatives deny
unequivocally they ever made it; and in direct negotiation
with these representatives, the administration carefully re­
frains from referring to any agreement. However, leave
aside the whole question of an “agreement;” there are some
aspccts of the situation which Westchester officials should
weigh more carefully than they have.
First, during a time when other units of govei’nment —
City, State and Federal — merged all or substantial parts
of recent pay adjustments into base salary, Westchester
has bumbled along without providing this essential pro­
tection.
L o w S a la ry Base, A s I t Is

N Y C
E m p lo y e e
It would seem that County Executive Herbert C. Gerlach
has here a responsibility to come forward with a progressive
wage policy to assure the County employees and their
families of security against pay cuts of this nature. May
we remind Mr. Gerlach of a speech, made only a year ago,
in which he said:
“I recall the days of salary cuts, when employees still
remained loyal to the County-and continued to render loyal
and faithful service. I remember the war years when many
positions were not lilled, and those who remained took over
additipnal duties and responsibilities.”
Surely Mr. Gerlach has not already forgotten?
The Westchester action will bring sorrow upon the em­
ployees, and from it the County can expect to garner no
Ktate-wide good wUlj no national .euconuuma.

Bridge an d T u n n el Officer jobs.
T he BTO Jobs paid th e very least,
an d if anybody accepted it while
C orrection Officer or T ra n sit P a ­
tro lm an vacancies^fcere still open,
t h a t ’d be news.
O ne exam ination, in th e opinion
of Sam uel H, G alston, D irector of
E xam inations, would suffice for
filling such jobs as Social Investi­
gator, C ourt A tte n d an t, License
Inspector, In vestigato r, Inspector
of M arkets, W eights an d M easures,
P ro bation Officer an d others. Even
th e P atro lm a n (P.D.) a n d F irem an

during th e w ar w hen th e n o n ­
com petitive
exam in atio ns
for
T em porary P atro lm a n an d T em po­
r a ry F irem an were held.
T he requirem ents would th e n be
th e sam e for b oth jobs. Now th e y ’re
som ew hat different, especially as
to^ h eig h t (5’8” for Police. d ’GVz”
for F ire m a n ).
All t h a t would be for th e future,
if a t all, an d w ouldn’t affect th e
published F ire m a n list n o r th e
P a'trolm an ap plication period th a t
opens Decem ber 1.
T ra in in g is th e R ey
“T he key to satisfactory p e r­
form ance is th e tra in in g period,”
said Mr. G alston. “W hen we hold
a P atro lm a n exam ination, for in ­
stance, we do n o t certify to th e
Police D e p a rtm e n t th a t th e eligibles are ready to work a beat,
only th a t they possess every reguirem ent for being tra in e d to be
capable P atrolm en. Since th e e n ­
tra n c e pay Is th e sam e, an d th e
rise to th e to p of th e grade is
accom plished in th e sam e period
of -three years, th e two tests,
w hich are for sim ilar skills, could
be com bined.”
O ne ad v a n ta g e of com m on ex­
am inations for filling m ultiple
titles, w hich he d id n ’t m ention,
would -be to ta l absence of even
a sem blance of a grievance be­
cause a list alre ad y established is
declared ap p ro p riate for fiilling
jobs in a n o th e r title, or in m ultiple
o ther titles. U nder th e proposed
p la n th e “a p p ro p ria te ” use of a
list would become unnecessary.
P ractice G rowing
T h e practice of iising one list
for several purposes is growing in
NYC, a n indication th a t Mr. G als to n ’s com bination idea m ay
thrive. T h e Commission recently
ado pted a n am en d m e n t to its
regulations, to p u t n o t only all
fu tu re candidates, b u t everybody
else, on notice th a t th e broadening
of eligibility is th e vogue. G riev­
ances arise w hen persons say th a t
th e y ’d been w aiting a long tim e
for a p a rtic u la r ex am ination to
be held, only to discover t h a t some
o ther list is to be used for filling
th e job th e y w ant.
- “H ad I only know n,” is th e tenor
of th e gripe.
I n exam inations for technical,
scientific an d professional jobs th e
p resen t confinem ent of th e list
to filling positions in th e single
title would be followed, as in h ir ­
ing doctors, lawyers an d dentists.
E^^en th e n ursing specialties would
still re ta in th e ir individuality for
filling vacancies, w ith no tr a n s ­
positions.
T he question would arise, in th e
broadened exam inations, w hether
or n o t th e m inim um requirem ents
would be raised. T h ere is no p re ­
sen t in ten tio n of raising them . In
th e Police, Fire, clerical and some
o th e r exam inations, no form al
experience or tra in in g is necessary
to entitle one to compete. In other
exam inations, including those of
Inv estig ator of one tyipe or a n ­
other, th e re are m inim um ex ­
perience requirem ents, a n d such
m in im a would be retained. How­
ever, one d ep a rtu re would be th a t
a college degree, while n o t r e ­
quired, would be acceptable in
lieu of some, if n ot all, of th e r e ­
quired experience.
Second, the Westchester salary base is unusually low.
On simple economic grounds, it can be demonstrated that
the base requires sharp upward revision.
Third, while it is true that total Westchester pay may
have in recent years approached a parity with pay in other
comparable jurisdictions, it is equally true that the present
slash cuts the average below that of other comparable juris­
dictions.
Summing up: Little attempt has been made to consider
whether the basic pay structure is fair; but a $75 yearly
pay cut is ordered on the basis of an adjusting formula

T h e affect of fallvue to describe

th e credits, if th e te a c h e r h a d n ’t
raised th e issue of sa la ry credits
him self th e C ourt sta te d :
“I n view, however, of p la in ­

B o w d WiU W eigh P ro tests
T h e p ro tests will be weighed
by th e B o a rd of M an ifest E rrw s.
I n th e p a s t th e B o a rd h a s show n
a stro n g tendency, in doubtful
cases, to u pho ld th e exam iner,
even w here th e re w as n o t m uch

wers h a s been called to th e a tte n ­

LEADER a n d th e suggestion m ade
th a t in specialised exam inations
th e Com m ission should broaden

th e y are n o t sufficiently fam iliar,
in a m a n n e r th a t m enaces th e
prestige of th e Conunission.
T h e Com m ission h a s been a d ­
m ittedly overbiu-dened w ith ex ­
am in atio n work, an d some inex­
p ert results te stify to th e fact, it
adm its, b u t now, w ith th e load

m ight involve some reorganization
of th e ex a m in a tin g fim ction, by
in stitu tin g a supervisory control

S idney Bengeldorf, president of

exam ination w as th e m ost u n fair,
ever given by th e Commission.
H e com plained t h a t th e ques­

an d did n o t c o n stitu te a n intelli­

“T hu s a d e p a rtm e n t," he said,

A n oth er ca n d id a te, a college

bu t h e said th a t 45 o ut of 90 in

Social Investig{itor, flunked badly.
All th a t was on th e basis of th e
te n tativ e key answ ers, b u t as these
are to be su b je c t to drastic re ­
vision, plus deletions of questions,
th e news ho th e com petitors isn ’t
too bad.
