How t h e Law Works
Now disabled v e t e r a n s who pass

non-disabled v e t e r a n s next, n o n veterans last. U n d e r t h e new law
disabled veterans who pass a p r o motion test would get added 5
points, non-disabled v e t e r a n s 21/2,
while in open-competitive e x a m s
t h e credits would be doubled. All

I SUPPOSE there are people in the United States
w h o understand the U. S. Social Security laws, in all
their ramifications and involvements. I don't.
I know there are people in N e w York State w h o
understand the State's responsibilities under the Federal
Social Security l a w s and regulations. I am not one of these.
With this confession of ignorance, I wish to answer
some inquiries about H.R. 6000, a bill before Congress
which is of immense significance to all public employees
in N e w York State.
The Federal Social Security Law includes a nationwide retirement system known as Old A g e and Survival
Insurance. Amendments to this title are under consideration in the U. S. Senate in hearings -before the Senate
Finance Committee.
Extension
— And
Duplication
Personally,' ! favor the extension in coverage and
the liberalization in benefits under the Social Security
System. I do not believe in the duplication of existing
machinery or benefits already existing under State Law.
The bill provides that any state may request the Social
Security Administration to include public employees of
the State and its political subdivisions under the Old Age
and Survival Insurance plan. Before becoming effective in
states with a retirement system, the employees must
approve the proposed inclusion by a 2 / 3 vote" in a referendum.
If the bill is passed, it would be possible for the Governor after a referendum, to ask the administration of
Federal Security to include some or all State a n d / o r municipal employees. Once included, the State, on two years' notice,
may modify and presumably terminate the agreement,
apparently without further reierendum.
Unanimous ^ISo^
Do you want to take a chance of losing your retirement allowance by accepting the Federal Old A g e
grants? That is the question that the public employees
everywhere have answered with a unanimous "No.-' In
N e w York, the State Constitution offers some protection to
the members of the Retirement System by making membership a contract, the t)enefit of which shall not be
diminished or impaired.
Is that protection a d e q u a t e ? Could the Constitution
be amended to end the contract for n e w or old members?
Could the law be amended to include Federal benefits as
part of the required retirement, as is the practice in rec.ent labor contracts?
ISo
Prophet
I do not feel that I am either a prophet or the son of
a prophet to the extent of being able to forecast the
future of the public employee under that part or title
of the proposed Social Security Act which deals with
Old age and Survival insurance; nor can I determine the
"life expectancy" of the proposed Federal Old A g e Insurance plan for public employees as compared with our
State Retirement System.
Personally, I prefer the gains w e have won to the
uncertain chances that some would thrust upon us. I look
with a questioning eye on those far-away Washington
solons w h o come bearing gifts.

House Conf:nement Under Assn. Insurance Plan
By CHARLES CARLISLE
I t h a s been suggested t h a t we
explain t h e a t t i t u d e of t h e Commercial Casualty I n s u r a n c e C o m p a n y r e g a r d i n g t h e house confinem e n t clause in t h e policy.
U n d e r P a r t I I I e n t i t l e d : Sickness I n d e m n i t y for Total Loss of
T i m e , " we find t h e following
clause; "However, d u r i n g anjK vacation, leave of absence, or a n y
period wlien not assigned to regular duty, such sickness i n d e m n i t y
will be paid only wlien the I n s u r e d
is necessarily a n d continuously
confined within t h e house.
T h i s ordinarily m e a n s t h a t if
you are on a leave of absence or
vacation a t t h e time you become
disabled you must be house confined to collect Sickness Benefits
until your leave of absence or vacation period is over.
However, t h e claim r e p r e s e n t a tive for t h e C o m p a n y m a y waive
this r e q u i r e m e n t on request f r o m
t h e insured, if t h e total disability
does not necessarily require house
confinement^^ a n d when sufficient

enacted each year in amounts which are the aggregate
of former pay plus former emergency compensation.

MUST Bills Before
The Legislature
' T ^ he 55-year retirement bill has passed both houses of
A the State Legislature, anci the Governor has promised
that he will sign it.
But this far from concludes the needs of civil service
employees. A number of additional bills have moved
forward, and are listed elsewhere in this issue. Many of
these are destined tor passage.
There are four measures which require the most
active attention of State and county public employees if
they are not to die in the last days of the legislative
session. They are:
A bill providing one extra increment after an employee has been at the maximum of his grade for 5 years,
a second after 10 years, and a third after 15 years,
maximum not to exceed $4,002. (Introduced by Senator
McKennan and Assemblyman Foy. Sen. Intro. 1127, Pr.
1164, Assem. Intro. 1688, Pr. 1734.)
A bill providing that all employees in the competitive class shall have the right to a hearing w h e n charges
are preferred, the right to counsel, and the right to summon witnesses. (Introduced by Senator Delessandro and
, Assemblyman Foy. Senate Intro. 2331, Pr. 2541, Assem.
Intro. 1687, Pr. 1733.)
A bill amending the present law to broaden unemployment insurance coverage for public employees by
extending such coverage to per diem employees and
those employed less than one year. (Introduced by Senator Halpern and Assemblyman Knauf. Sen. Intro. 1540,
Pr. 1663; Assem. Intro. 1204, Pr. 1221.)
A bill permitting a member of the retirement system w h o leaves the service after 5 years for any reason
to leave his contributions on deposit and have pension
credit vested to produce deferred retirement allowance
at age 55 or 60, depending on which a g e the plan member
has elected. (Introduced by Senator Halpern and Assemblyman Noonan. Sen. Intro. 1242, Pr. 1290; Assem. Intro.
1617, Pr. 1662.
These are moderate measures. They ought to be
marked MUST on the calendar of every legislator. Employee units should communicate with their legislators,
by telegram, immediately. Do the same with reference
to any other civil service measure in which you are interested.
Don't Resign
Under Pressure!
' T ^ HERE is evidence that some State employees have occaA sionally been asked to resign under compulsion. It is
important that no employee succumb to pressure for compulsory summary resignation. If charges are preferred,
then something can be done, but if you sign away your right
to the job, then reinstatement is practically impossible.

The LEADER conducts ft direct qnestion-aud-aniwer service for its annual subscribers. Besides the benefits of fall
coverage of civil service news, notices of examinations and
news of examination progrress, subscribers obtain a valuable
help toward a government job, through the service, or, if already
public employees, aid in their civil service problems.
The LEADER would like to continue its past practice of
rendering this direct service to aU, but because of its increased
news coverage, and new features, its staff must limit the letter

Mayor William O'Dwyer declared
a t a B o a r d of E s t i m a t e meeting
last week.

it were to be appioved it m u s t be

was not a n indication of a "basic

"You wouldn't w a n t to see t h e

a n d physical tests, says S a m u e l
Galston, Director of t h e E x a m i n i n g
Division of t h e Municipal Civil
Service Commission. Mr. G a l s t o n
based his e s t i m a t e on t h e results
* of previous exams.
"Even if t h e y pass t h e w r i t t e n
t e s t , " s t a t e d M r . Galston, "we expect about 50 per c e n t of t h e a p plicants to fail t h e qualifying m e d ical test. This test is one of t h e
severest given by t h e city. A m a n
h a s to be a n almost p e r f e c t specim e n to pass."

For Successful Candidates
If Police Commissioner William
P. O'Brien's request for 20,000
more policemen passes t h e Board
of E s t i m a t e , t h e eligible list will
be used u p long before its f o u r year life is over. B u t t h i s depends
entirely on t h e s t a t u s of t h e b u d get. F o r example, $.800,000 m u s t
be added to t h e budget f o r every
200 cops appointed. T h i s is only
t h e initial expenditure. F o r 200
additional p a t r o l m e n t h e r e m u s t
be appointed 20 additional sergeants, a n d m o r e l i e u t e n a n t s a n d
c a p t a i n s . Altogether, nearly a million dollars is involved in t h e a p p o i n t m e n t of only 20 policemen.
T h e Police Academy located in
Brooklyn is t h e n e x t s t e p for successful candidates. H e r e t h e y will
be given a s i x - m o n t h intensive

Carton, of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, ridiculed a pension report released by the Citizens Budget Commission which
opposed the bills. The two presidents are co-chairmen of the Joint
Police Fire-Salary and Pension
Reform Committee and are working together closely on the pension problem.
on the grounds that the cost would
be too heavy.
The $17,000,000 reserves would
be dissipated in a year, if the request were granted, ahd there
would be an "eventual" direct cost
to the City of $30,000,000 a year,
the Commission said in reference
to police-fire pension bills now before both the Legislature and the
Council.
A Chief Grievance
Crane's View
One of the chief- grievances is
the vast difference in cost for approximately equal pension benefits, between those members who
joined the forces since 1940, whose
rates are extrmely high, and the
members who entered the job prior
to 1940.
The pension rectification sought
by the two groups was opposed by
the Citizens Budget Commission
"Obviously,"
said
President
Crane, "the Commission didn't
study the matter thoroughly, or
review our case, or it wouldn't
have made such a statement."
"The Commission must have
been reaching sixty years ahead to
get a $30,000,000 cost figure, and
applied that cost to the second
year of operation of the proposed
plan.
"The Commission shows particular lack of concern for the efficiency of fire-fighting in NYC,
which depends greatly on the
morale of the fire-fighters. T h a t
morale would be immeasurably enhanced, with even greater efficiency of operation, if the pension
bills were adopted."
UPW, Ousted by CIO,
Hit by NYC Administration
The United Public Workers, recently expelled from the CIO, was
faced with another blow last week
when the Mayor's office sent a
communication to every City
agency head giving oflficial information of the action.
And within a few days, an order
went out from Raymond M. Milliard, Commissioner of Welfare,
"withdrawing recognition from the
United Public Workers of America
as a staff organization." He forbade the heads of all Welfare Department units from having any
dealings With the UPW.
lushewitz Repudiates UPW
The communication from the
Mayor's office, on which Mr. Hilliard based his action, consisted of
a letter written to the Mayor by

urer of the New York City CIO
Council. In it, Mr. lusheWitz said:
"By an overwhelming vote, the
Executive Board of the national
Congress of Industrial Organizations concluded that 'the policies
and activities of the United Public
Workers of America are consistently directed toward the achievement of the program and the purpose of the Communist Party r a t h er t h a n the objectives and policies
set forth in the CIO constitution.'
"As a result of this expulsion,
the United Public Workers is today
outside the ranks of organized labor and has been exposed as an
instrument of the Communist
Party."
Mr. lushewitz asked the Mayor
to recognize the Government and
Civic Employees Organizing Committee instead.
Mr. Hilliard's action was condemned in vigorous terms by leaders of the ousted UPW.
The national office of the UPW
has been denied recognition by
the Veterans Administration.

eligibles who passed the NYC test
entitled Foreman of Laborers,

They've set up an association,
and they're going to court. The

County Supreme Court on March 21. The eligibles allege t h a t because of the out-of-title work, no
appointments have been made
from the list.
Samuel Resnicoff, counsel for
the group, also seeks an order directing the Municipal Civil Service Commission to declare the list
appropriate for filling vacancies as
Grade 2 Janitors, and that the
Commission be restrained from
holding a test for the Janitor job.
