55-year Bill
Is Recalled
By State Senate
ALBANY, March 20 — The 55year retirement bill, unanimously
passed by both houses, was r e called from t h e Governor by the
Senate last week.
Reason for t h e unusual move
was this: If the bill had not been
recalled, it would have been what
is known as a "10-day measure."
This means t h a t if it were not
signed within 10 days by the Governor, it would automatically become law. By being recalled^ it will
become a "30-day bill," which
gives the Governor more time, in
view of the pressure of the billsigning period, to act on it. It is
expected t h a t a ceremony will be
m a d e of the signing, with officials
of the Civil Service Employees
Association, sponsors of the bill, in
attendance.

6000-What
It Means to You
A bill now before Congress
has raised tremendous
controversy in civil service
circles.
Nearly every organization of
public employees
opposes
a
section of H.R. 6000 which
would include them within the
Social Security system,
under
certain conditions. Belotv is a
simple factual explanation of
the sections of the bill refei'ring^ to public
workers.
The bill known as H.R. 6000 was
sent to Congress by t h e Administration. I t h a s passed t h e House
and is now in t h e Senate Committee on Finance. T h a t Committee
is holding and will contiruie to
hold public hearings on the bill
until March 24, then it will act on
the bill.
What the Bill Does
The bill amends t h e Federal Social Security Act and, in fact, is
to be cited as the "Social Security
Act Amendments of 1949." Section
106 of t h e bill is t h e section of
importance to State employees. I t

H.R. 6000 is a bill "to extend and improve the Federal
Old Age and Survivors Insurance System, to amend the
public assistance and child welfare provisions of the Social
Security Act, and for other purposes."
As I stated in this column last week, I personally favor
the extension of Social Security to make reasonably secure
all those who cannot obtain security through their own
efforts. I believe the majority of the members of the Association are equally in favor of a more nearly adequate and
a more nearly universal security for all workers.

The 55-Year
BillAnd Forward Steps
^T^HE passage of the 55-year retirement bill represents an
-i- enormous achievement for members of the State Retirement System, and the Civil Service Employees Association
deserves the fullest credit for its long campaign, undertaken 14 years ago, to have this important advance enacted
into law.
But the 55-year bill does not end the retirement needs
of public employees under a modern system of government.
It is significant how private industry is catching up with,
and even surpassing, in some respects, the retirement attainments of government. Thus, only last week, an agreement
was signed by Consolidated Edison Co. providing for a $125
a month minimum pension, with the employer paying the
cost. This shows the way for the next advance in old-age
security for public workers.
The Minuet
In Schenectady
T
HE tragic little minuet in Schenectady continues.
A new administration comes into office. It preaches
economy. It fires long-term career civil service employees.
"Pure necessity," it says, with appropriate breast-beating.
Then, it hires other employees, in number more than
the number of civil servants dismissed; and in salary more
fulsome. Only it appears these new employees vote right.
Economy?
Then, the Councilmen grant themselves a raise in pay.
Economy?
To a representative of this newspaper, the City Manager moans that it is impossible to stretch his meager funds
—a budget which "is no budget at all," he says.
He does not add that a jukebox tax was removed because the tavern owners were able to intimidate the politicians. He does not add thatVooi% Pooi' Schenectady is, according to reputable statistics, in better financial shape than
nearly any other city of its size in the state. He does not
add that the present administration has rebuffed all efforts
of the employees to explore ways and means of avoiding
tho dismissals.
Economy?
Now to the right, now to the left. Now turn around.
Tread lightly. The Schenectady minuet continues.
Decisions on Wage
A ppeals Take Too Long
I
L E A D E R
T is taking too long for decisions of the State Classification and Compensation Board to come down. A decision
on the case of civil service trademen—roofers, tinsmiths,
painters, and other workers—promised months ago, has still
not come through. The claim of interviewers and senior
intei'viewers in the Division of Placement and Unemployment Insurance, a claim that appears eminently just, has not
yet been processed, although it was filed last August and
heard in September. The request of hospital attendants in
criminal hospitals for new consideration based on the kind
of patients they deal with, is still, after many, many months,
without decision.
The LEADER knows that the Classification and Compensation Board is doing a good job. It works with commendable speed, its employees are competent, its director
is a conscientious, hard-working, intelligent official.
lUit somewhere along the line the appeals get held up.
Al'tei- an appeal has been heard by the Board and a decision
made, it goes to the Budget Office. Thei'e is reason to believe
tliat this is the point at which the claims are stymied.
Tho law gives an over-i-iding power to the Budget Division. It has been, and remains, our opinion that this power
ought to be refluced; at the very lei^st, a decision made by
the Classification Board—a fact-finding body—ougiit to be
public information.
In any case, whether the decision is pro or con, whether
it is made by the classification men or by the budget men
or by the two together—in any case, employees are surely
entitled to this: a swift response to their pleas. We recommend that the State oflieials involved in this matter get
together and work out a modus operandi which will provide quicker results than are now the case.

it. The names of committees are listed after the names of introducers, Ways

W A S H I N G T O N , M a r c h 20—The
eyes of g o v e r n m e n t workers are
focused on t h e House Appropriations C o m m i t t e e which is now p r e p a r i n g to bring about t h e firings
of t h o u s a n d s of F e d e r a l employees
by reducing t h e President's b u d get. I t is r u m o r e d t h a t a n y w h e r e
f r o m 50,000 to 100,000 will be fired.
T h e President h a s proposed t h a t
about 10,000 f u l l - t i m e Federal employees be removed in t h e budget
he sent to Congress in J a n u a r y ,
but a p p a r e n t l y t h i s was only t h e
beginning in t h e plans of t h e Appropriations Committee. T h e only
agency which m a y get additional
money to hire people is t h e F e d eral B u r e a u of Investigation.
W A S H I N G T O N , M a r c h 20 — A
new p l a n t o t i g h t e n t h e leaves of
1,500,000 G o v e r n m e n t workers is
being d r a f t e d by S e n a t o r P a u l
Douglas (D. 111.) who calls t h e
p r e s e n t leaves "excessive."
" I feel t h a t a g r a d u a t e d system
of a n n u a l leave based on years of
service would be a b e t t e r system
t h a n now exists," h e said, " T h e
older employees b o t h need a n d d e serve a longer v a c a t i o n t h a n a
young beginner." H e feels t h a t his
plan would save t h e g o v e r n m e n t
n e a r l y $100,000,000 a year.
Senator
Douglas

Attendants
The Illinois Civil Service Commission has tried out another
new testing technique in an examination given for hospital attendants who work with mental
patients. Following a short written test, candidates were interviewed by oral boards composed
of a nurse and psychologist or
a psychiatric social worker. Six
photographs showing such attendant-patient relations as a n
attendant holding a patient, persuading a stubborn patient, and
atempting to stop a disagreement, were used in the interview. In discussing the pictures,
candidates revealed
attitudes
and reactions which were evaluated on a rating scale according
to their degree of desirability or
undesirabiiity.

Public Relations
A Canadian public employee
union, the Saskatchewan Civil
Service
Association,
recently
made a novel public relations
experiment in an effort to build
public understanding of the
work performed by civil service
workers and support for their
legitimate aims and aspirations.
For 13 weeks the Association
sponsored a radio program dramatizing a crucial incident in
the life of a famous person.
Each story was narrated by a
well-known actor and the union sponsor's message was tied
in with the theme of the drama.
For example, Tallulah Bankhead
told how Helen Keller, though
blind and deaf, was able to overcome her handicap and lead a
fulj, productive life because she
received patient and persevering help from her teacher. When
the drama was completed, radio
listeners heard about the work
done by today's staff of carefully
trained civil service teachers at
the Saskatchewan School for the
Deaf.
An Italian act of 1949 introduced 16 holidays with pay for
public workers and two
additional
days with reduced working
hours.
Of the 16 holidays, 11 were religious festival dcujs....
