"I sincerely urge," Mr. Feinstein wrote the Mayor, "that you
meet with a small committee representing automobile enginemen to
delve into the possibility of finally

St. Lav/rence U n i t y M e e t i n g 3 0 State Employees
Sets G r e a t e r C o a l s for Assn. Will Be Awarded
Extra Opportunity
OODEN8BURG, May 8 — The
first joint countywlde meeting of
chapters of both the State and
the County Divisions of The Civil
Service Elmployees Association, an
idea of Sergeant Philip L. White,
was a rousing success. Sergeant
White Js president of the St.
Lawrence County chapter. He
presided.
Speakers included Jesse B. McParland, chairman of the membership committee of the Association; Harry G. Pox, treasurer
of the Association; Isaac Hungerford of the Retirement revision of the State Comptroller's
Office, and Jarftes M. Pigott, Association field representative.
McFarland Sounds Keynote
The keynote of the meeting was
the need for surpassing even the
present recoi-d membership of the
Association, so that greater employee gains may be achieved.
Mr. McParland, former 1st vicep r e s i d e n t of the Association,
struck that note.
Addressing those present as his
fellow-workers, Mr. MicParland, a
senior claims examiner in the Department of Social Welfare, Albany, said:
"We need more members to get
more support from the legislators.
We need the legislators' support
to get what we're after."
He regretted that many State
and county employees gain the
benefits achieved through the Association, although without having contributed one whit toward
such accomplishm«it,
because
they aren't even members of the
Association. He said the new age55 retirement bill was an Association measure that would never
have been enacted except for the
pressvire put behind it by the Association, and that there was no
other organization in the State
that could have accomplished
that, or that has a record of having obtained legislation of such
importance to State and County
employees as a whole.
The Civil Service Employees Association, he declared, was outstanding, with 39,200 members,
of whom 6,800 are in the County
Division. The Association, now in
its 40th year, consisted of only
State employees until membership
was opened to County employees
a few years ago.
"There are still 26,000 employees of the State who aren't
members," he went on. "They get
benefits we worked for. They
should be in our organization to
help get new benefits."
Fox Reports on Finances
Mr. Fox reported on the financial condition of the Association.
He hoped that the Association
would have a reserve of $100,000
by the end of this year. He estimated the 1950 receipts would be
$337,000 and expenditures $307.000.
He praised the good relations
between the State Civil Service
Commission and the Association,
said they'd never been better and
commented that every civil service measure passed by the 1950
session of the Legislature was
backed both by the Association
and the Commission.
Pigott Praises Unity
Mr. Pigott paid tribute to the
unity theme of the meeting, calling the joint session a mark of
real advance by the Assocdation.
He prophesied that such unity
wo\iId spread and would result
in greater improvement of "our
working conditions."
Hungerford Discusses Pensions
In his discussion of the age-55
retirement plan, Mr. Hungerford
said few Americans seem to know
how to retire.
"Something keeps turning up—
a new car, a long vacation—and
to pay for these they keep working and just think about retiring
imtil they die," he declared.
Experience has shown that relatively few State employees have
retired even imder the 60 year
retirement plan.
"And they won't under the 55year plan," he continued.
He again emphasized that
workers will be wasting benefits
if they refuse to retire at age 55.
He said forms for converting to
the liberalized age-55 plan are
being mailed.
More Faith
"Sign them," he advised, "and
return them immediately. Do it
on faith. We can't possibly answer
all your questions immediately
and if you wait to find out what
the advantages are through an
answer to your personal Inquiries,
it will take us months.
"You'll get maximum benefits
under the age-55-year plan."
All other retirement plans are
still in force in addition to the
55-year plan, Mr. Hungerford told
his audience. He reviewed these
and briefly explained the pro-
Attempts to Keep Jobs
Out of Competitive Class
Are Proving Futile
In line with its policy of reclassifying more State exempt
jobs into the competitive class,
the State Civil Service Commission is also being stricter with
municipal commission resolutions
for putting jobs in the exempt or
non-competitive class.
The State Commission rejected a resolution of the NYC Civil
Service Commission to put the
Chief Life Guard title in the non-

competitive class. The NYC Commission immediately ordered an
open-oompetitive exam to fill the
jobs, which pay $7.50 a day and
provide 180 days' work a year.
No dates for receipt of applications have been set yet.
Also, the NYC Commission,
having lost its attempt to put the
position of Special Investigator,
filled by the so-called Beakies in
the Board of Transportation, in
the non-competitive exam in this
title, will hold an exam.
The State Commission rejected
resolutions of the NYC Commission to put in the exempt class
the title of Deputy D i r ^ o r of
Commerce, Department of Commerce. and Chief Economist, both
being in the budget of the Mayor's
offlce. An exempt classification
for the assistant to the NYC Commissioner of Correction met the
same fate.

are being mailed by the State
Comptroller Frank C. Moore's
office. Form A is for those now under the age-fiO retirement plan
and Form B for those xmder t h e

above that of the age-55 plan.
Under the new plan the cost is

a booklet entitled "New 55-Year
Retirement Plan," explaining all
the salient features of the law. A
foreword states this about t h e
law:
"It amends the Civil Service
Law as it relates to optional retirement at the age of 55 years.
Age 60 remains the normal retirement age, but members of the
System may elect to provide for
retirement at age 55. Age 70 remains the m a n d a t w y retirement
age.
"The plan requires that onehalf the additional expense i n volved in providing for retirement
at age 55, instead of age 60, be
borne by the State, or other participating governments or agencies.
"In t h e past, the Civil Service
Law has permitted members of

If they have any appreciable
length of service under that plan,
the cost of making up the arrears
may be more than met by converting to the new plan, since
the new rate would be retroactive and is much lower.
All who decide to convert to the
new plan—or, as the saying is,
make their election—will benefit
by the Increased pension back to
the time that their member-servioe started, without having to
make up any arrears, but with
the necessity of paying t h e increased rates to cover the future.
It is advisable, however, to make
up the arrears, so that there will
be no likelihood of the annuity
account falling short of the requirement for half pay after 30
years. For greater l e n ^ h of service, retirement at more t h a n half
pay results.
T h e new law provides additional benefit in every case and
It is therefore only a question of
whether the member wants to or
can pay the additional cost under
t h e new plan. The average i n crease is about 50 per cent.
The employer pays 16 2 / 3 per
cent more toward the pension
part. T h e idea is for the employee
t o make up his arrears, so that
his annuity account will have the
same purchasing power as the
pension reserve. In that way h a l f pay retirement is achieved in 30
ye&vs, contrasted to the present
35 years. It is the five years
earlier
retirement
opportunity
that accounts for the member's
extra cost, but he is merely putting up his own money for his
own benefit, to buy a balancing
amount of annuity at the lowest
rate at which he can obtain it
anywheire. Also, the contributions
draw lntere.st of 3 per cent or
more and the annuity is administered without cost to the employee for that work.

President The Civil Service Employees
Association Inc. and Member of Employees Merit Award Board
Association Applies for Another Job
IT IS expected that the Governor will soon announce
his appointments to the Commission to study and revise the
Civil Service Law. The law provides for eleven "members,
three each to be appointed by the Speaker of the House
and the President of the Senate and five to be named by
the Governor, including a representative of the Civil Service Commission. An advisory committee of ten or fewer
members may be appointed by the Chairman of the Commission with the approval of a majority of the members.
It shall be the duty of the advisory committee, upon the
request of the Commission, to advise and assist the Commission upon all matters relating to the study, revision,
amendments and modernization of the provisions of the
Civil Service Law . .
The Association has a vital interest in the Civil Service
Law which provides the "legal contract" under which public employees work. More than any other group, their future
welfare is involved in the recommendations of the Commission.
J
Wide Benefits
One of the attractive features
of the new law concerns those
now under the old age-55 plan.

Will Do More Than Codify
Law
The Commission is expected to do far more than to
codify, clarify and restate more clearly the present provisions of the Civil Service Law.
It will be remembered that the Governor's Committee
on Veterans Preference was unable to reach agreement on
preference in matters of retention of jobs when positions '
are abolished and referred the matter to this Revision Commission.
It will also be remembered that bills have been introduced in the Legislature following the suggestion of the
Governor, providing a single Personnel Administrator as
the head and heai-t of the Civil Service Department. It
will also be remembered that there is a strong "Hoover"
Committee in New York, some of whom would transplant
the recommendations of the Hoover Commission from the
Federal government to New York State government, without much study as to whether their findings and recommendations fit or not. Nothing could be more disastrous to
the public service than a new "Black" bill similar to the
law of 1897 which nearly destroyed Civil Service in New
York by providing that each State Department could conduct its own civil service examinations. This might be desirable in the huge federal departments. It is undercover sabotage in New York State. All the crack-pot ideas that are
floating around in the highly charged political atmosphere
of our day will doubtless have a hearing.
Importance of Possible Cains
To this point I have written chiefly of possible dangers
to civil service. More important are the possible gains. No
one but a civil service lawyer can be sure, in the maze of
laws, rules, regulations and court decisions, what the present
law really is. It is possible to do a job of clarification similar to that done for the Retirement Law (which, by the
way, is part of the Civil Service Law but is excluded from
the revision.)
It is possible to gain a fair hearing for many proposals
for which The Civil Service Employees Association has contended for years in such matters as dismissals, working
hours, overtime, right to hearings and counsel, etc.
I make bold to suggest that the counsel for the Commission should dissect, like a skillful surgeon, the Civil
Service Law into its component parts, and rephrase each
in the clearest possible manner. These parts should then be
put together in a logical manner under pertinent categories
such as Examinations, Appointments, Probationary Period,
Promotion, Dismissals, Transfers, Reinstatement, etc.
Must Represent
Cross-Section
Tlie advisory committee should, I think, represent a
cross-section of that part of the population that is interested in and knows something about civil service and personnel management. It should not be content with giving its
advice only when requested. The Commission should make
a broad request that the advisory committee consider every
reasonable suggestion that has been or is being made to
improve the public management system and should present
to the Commission the thinking and recommendations of
the committee, whether there is agreement or not.
The Association believes that the Governor should appoint to the Commission the best qualified and interested
persons available. Among these we place first, a i ^ d i n g
representative of the Civil Service Reform AssociatlSymd
of The Civil Service Employee* Association.

Achievement Among 4 0 0
Boys at Warwick School
To Be Shown on May 10
Annual open house at the New
York Training School for Boys will
be held on Wednesday. May 10
from 1 to 5 PJkl. and from 6 to
8 P.M. The public is invited to see
what the State is doing to redeem
lads aged 12 to 16 who've been in
trouble with the law in NYC or
Orange County. Francis A. MacDonald will personally see to it
that the visitors are well accommodated.
The school has sent out 600 invitations to individuals and organizations, although no invitation is
needed by anyone who'd like to
see how the boys work in shops, on
the farm and in kitchens, how and
what they study and how they live
In neat cottages.
Rev. Microp Heads Committee
The chairman of the committee
in charge of the day is the Rev.
John Microp, Protestant chaplain
of the school. Aiding him are Assistant Superintendent Frederick
S. Appleton and Area Supervisors
Donald Mutchler and Edson Friz-
zel.
Several hundred persons showed
up on the two previous occasions.
This year the attendance is expected to be much greater.
The institution has both a board
o f visitors, with Fred Guild as
Chairman, and a Warwick committee of the State Board of Social
Welfare, headed by Paxton Blair,
Mr. Blair, former Assistant Corporation Counsel in NYC in charge
of the appeals bureau, is a m e m ber of the State Board of Social
Welfare. His wife, who has demonstrated talent in both painting tind
dancing, is also greatly interested
in the rehabilitation work at the
school.
Director Cohen Enthusiastic
A. Alfred Cohen, the director of
t h e training school, cooperates
closely with both the board of
visitors and the Warwick committee. Mr. Cohen is enthusiastic
about the accomplishments that
may be worked in the futiu-e,
based on the progress already
made. It is generally accepted as
creditable if the rehabilitation
percentage attains 20, but at the
school it is now estimated to be
n m n i n g at 60 per cent and the
hope is that, if needed additional
aid U obtained, it will be raised
to 90 per cent and establish an alK
time, nation-wide record.
Many of the boys at the school
have been on probation in NYC as
often as eight or nine times, but
the school treats them on the
same basis as any other boys, and
starts from the very beginning to
ascertain the type of work for
which any boy-is fitted, or what
he prefers, and for tbe most part
lets him make his own choice.
Academic training is given, too,
and some of it starts from scratch,
rince about 150 boys can't even
read. But before they've been at
Warwick long they begin to read.
Progress in three months, taking
the five academic couises into consideration, often equals that of a
normal two-year study course,
thus proving to Mr. Cohen's satisfaction that boys classed as wayward may get Interested, too, in
study and achievement.
/
"The boys have to learn first
how to live among themselves,"
said Mr. Cohen. "When a boy gets
a job on the outside and soon
loses it, the reason is usually his
maladjustment to his environment. So it's a primary objective
here to teach boys how to get
along with people. When they've
learned that, they're half way
back on the road t o stability."
The boys are taught also good
work habits, the main reason for
the courses in mechanical work.
There are 50 different combinations of educational and training
opportunities at the school.
Handiwork to Be Exhibited
When a boy arrives he is diagnosed. A psychologist, a psychiatrist and the social service department of the institution make a
complete study of his habits and
personality and on such observations the recommendations for
orientation are based.
The boys' handiwork will be exhibited during the open house sessions. the products of both their
regular application and their hobbies. Also, the Boy Scout troop at
the institution, recently formed
under the sponsorship of the
American Legion posts of Orange
County, will demonstrate how high
"honor bright" can come even
among lads who haven't enjoyed
any of society's best breaks. The
troop now has 25 members and
soon will be at full strength of 32.
The guest population at the
school Is 400 and there are 40 additions soon to arrive from NYC.
Seven Counties to Join in
Social Welfare Discussion
A meeting on social welfare
problems will be held on May 16
at the Mark Twain Hoter, Elmira,
under the auspices of the State
Conference on Social Work.
Commissioner A. Lyman Wright
of the Chemung County Department of Public Welfare is general chairman. Isabelle Jennings of
Elmira is registration chairman.
T h e all-day meeting will be open
to the public.

Off in a Corner?

Page 1)
Grand Jury, including Joseph A. McNamara, President,
Commissioners Esther Bromley and Darwin W. Telesford,
Mr. Sidney Stern and Mr. Frank A. Schaefer, Secretary to
the Commission.
"Those who could speak with authority on the subject
stated that it was the policy of the Commission not to report impersonation frauds to the departments employing
the culprits or to other official agencies. Some of the reasons advanced in justification of this policy were that attempts to prosecute similar offenses, some eight or nine
years ago, had been unsuccessful; that the Civil Service
Commission conducts such license examinations simply as
a courtesy to City departments, and that it has no real responsibility towards other departments; and that it performs its duty to itself when it disqualifies cheaters and
frauds from further Civil Service advancement.
"The grand jury referred to feels that this poHcy is
ill-founded, lax and inefficient. . .
These are significant words spoken by a grand jury.
It can be said, on good authority, that material now being
gathered by the City's Department of Investigation, at
the request of Mayor William O'Dwyer, will substantiate the jury's findings. It is incredible that the Civil
Service ^Commission should be so far unaware of its responsibility as to say that it holds none toward other departments. On the contrary, the responsibility of a civil service
commission to the operating departments is direct and powerful. The quality of City operations depends immediately
and materially on the manner in which the Commission discharges that responsibility. If it fails to provide the most
capable people for a job to be done, that job will be done
in an inferior manner. If it is slovenly in its operations,
if its procedures are antiquated, if it fails to see in itself
the central personnel agency of the City, then its failure
is grave indeed, and the City's work suffers.
The Selection of
Commissioners
It is erroneous to conceive of a civil service commission as a minor agency, set off in a little corner by itself.
Such a concept has not been confined to-the present City
Commission alone. It is, unfortunately, widespread.
The choice of civil service commissioners ought to be
made only after the most careful delineation. It is not necessary to have doctrinaire, old-line personnel men. But it is
necessary to select persons who have proven vision, imagination, ability to learn, the capacity to get things done.
Today the lowest-paid commissioners in City service
are the heads of the Civil Service Commission. The Commission President earns $10,000 a year, and his two colleagues $9,000 each. The President of the State Commission
earns $15,000 plus $2,400 for expenses. His two associate
commissioners earn $11,500 each. In NYC, Civil Service
Commission work is a full-time job. How can the City possibly get topflight men for these posts, at the relatively
miniscule salaries it pays? It isn't possible. The pay ought
to be sufficiently attractive to invite the best men.
Careful study is required to determine if the present
two-party three-man Commission is best for the City. In
this respect, the minutes of a committee which studied the
makeup of the State Civil Service Commission last year will
prove valuable.
And in revitalizing the practices and procedures of civil
service, the Commission, as the guardian of the merit system and as primary factor in good day-to-day government
operation, needs to be given more power over personnel
matters, and must be freed from domination by the Budget
Office. Of this, more later.

Speakers Tell
Students of
Job Openings
Correction Officers
To M e e t on M a y 1 0
Hunter College students heard,
most of them to their surprise,
that the Federal government has
general registers of eligibles for
women only, that appointing officers in many instances may state
whether they desire to hire men
or women from other lists, but
that the State of New York and
NYC doesn't engage in such practices. The State and NYC eligible
lists for women only, are for such
jobs as women alone would be fitted to fill, such as attendant in a
women's rest room.
The students heard talks at a
conference of the Hunter College
Bureau of Educational and Vocational Guidance on "Opportunities
for College Graduates in Civil Service." The speakers were James E.
Rossell, director. Second Region,
U. S. Civil Service Commission;
Thomas L. Bransford, director of
examinations, State Civil Service
Department, and Charles Rutkoff,
an examiner on the staff of the
NYC Civil Service Commission.
Commissioner Esther Bromley was
scheduled to speak for NYC, but
Mr. Rutkoff substituted.
Jobs for Women
Mr. Rossell stressed opportunities for women nurses and librarians and the widening of the job
prospects for Junior Professional
Assistants and Juixior Management Assistants. He praised H u n ter College for its minor course in
secretarial work, saying that anybody fitted to be a secretary had
an excellent opportunity to get a
U. S. job and rise to positions of
greater responsibility.
"It's a good way of getting in,"
he commented.
There were 40 graduate students
and 25 undergraduates among the
women present, and 15 men who
are taking night coui-ses at Hunter.
Mr, Rossell had a pamphlet distributed, citing the job opportunities for women. The Federal government is particularly keen about
hiring eligibles of good character,
Mr. Rossell declared.
Mr. Bransford explained the
practices of the State Civil Service
Department and mentioned the
exams for Employment Interviewer and Assistant Unemployment
Insurance Claims examiner, now
open.
Mr. Rutkoff discussed job opates and those who expect to obportunities for both college gradutain degrees. He advised the undergraduates to try for NYC jobs
open to them and, after getting
their degrees, to compete for higher jobs. He explained the procedures of application, examination
and appointment and the significance of a competitive position.
He stressed the opportunities for
those who will compete in the current NYC Social Investigator test.
The second conference of the
Correction Department chapter
members. Civil Service Employees
Association, will be held on Wednesday, May 10, at the Lower
Hudson Regional Market on Dickson Street, Newburgh, at 8 P.M.
Invitations to participate have
been sent to the following chapters: Westfield, Sing Sing, Green
Haven,
Matteawan,
Wallkill
Woodbourne, Napanoch and Coxsackie.
It is hoped that in the near f u ture, Auburn, Elmira, Albion,
Dannemora, Clinton, Comsitock
and Attica will hold similar conferences and in this manner some
day lead to the establishment of
a statewide convention within the
Correction Department.
These conferences are designed
to correlate the ideas and suggestions offered by t h e various
chapters throughout the department by discussion, constructive
criticism, objective work and personal contacts to attain the goals
we all hope to achieve.
Need for consolidated action for
Contrast Pointed Vp
There was some heckling from
the audience, though not from students. The public had been invited. Some of those who tried to
heckle the speakers found their
questions limited to two.
I. H. Unger,-public relations o f ficer of the "P^iSeral Career Emloyees AssMiatloh, wanted to
now why the Federal government
stressed opportunities for college
graduates, when it was dropping
from its payrolls so many victims
of reduction-in-force orders who
were not only college graduates
but had experience besides, and in
the Federal government service at
that.
The association has writen to
500 universities, stating this point
and discouraging aid to Federal
recruitment of prospective graduates.
e
extending the merit system, pen*
sion liberalization, a realistic 40hour week and a longevity pay
bill to increase the incentive
among the older employees was
stressed.
The last meeting of this group
was held in January, before t h e
it was decided by those present
that three meetings a year would
be sufficient and should be held
as follows:
1. Before the legislature con^
venes, so t h a t proposed legislation
affecting the member chapters
could be fully explained and a
stand taken.
2. Just prior to the usual con-«
ference with the Commissioner,
to enable the delegates to be properly instructed as to what stand
to take before t h e Commissioner,
3. After the Legislature a d journs, so that stock can be taken
of what happened to bills in which
the members have a particular
Interest, and, as to any bills t h a t
didn't pass, how to organize for
success before t h e next session
of the Legislature.
Plans All Set for
Reception
In VanDuzers
Honor on May 13
Assemblyman Wilson C. Van
Duzer will be honored by more
than a thousand public employees
at a dance-reception at Middletown State Armory on Saturday
night, May 13, in appreciation of
his active interest in the problems
of civil service personnel. Leading
"feounty and state officials will also
attend. Plans are all set.
The idea of honoring Mr. Van
Duzer came from Francis A. MacDonald, chairman of the Southern
Conference of The Civil Service
Employees Association, who urged
that a tribute be paid "to the man
who sponsored more legislation
benefiting public employees than
any other member of the Legislature."
Mr. MacDonald is chairman of
the committee in charge. Profits
will go to the Veterans Hospital at
Castle Point.
Dance Contests
There will be two Dands, one for
square and the other for modern
dancing. Contests for all styles oJ
dancing will be held, with prizes
for the winners. Admission is 75
cents a person, and soft drinks
will be sold at 10 cents each.
Frankfurters will be supplied free.
Committee members include Major George Flack, president of the

The State Civil Service Department released an abstract of the
notice in examination in which
U stated that candidates "must

announced that this requirement
will not be included. A substantial equivalent of high school
graduation will be accepted. If a

of high school successfully, then

as the equivalent of the two extra

Also, high school equivalency diplomas are acceptable as complete
compliance with the graduation
provision of the notice. Anybody
who has taken his exam for such
R diploma previous to June 5,
1950 and who later learns he

he added: "We're not here to hear
jokes." And he advised the employees to follow carefully the
words and activities—not always
consistent—of legislators. He also
described the special event which
his own Conference had prepared
for Assemblyman Van Duser en
May 13.
The tali head of the Southern
Conference pleaded for "unity
among State employees and consolidation of strength in order to
attain our objectives." And he
spoke of the Importance of Conference as a medium for educating
public employees.
Mr. Hurley answered questions
about the S5-year retirement plan
(the plan is discussed elsewhere In
this issue). He stated that it
wasn't possible to. answer all the
questions. "We don't know all answers yet."
Mr. Lehman describes a sampling of public opinion on the

N a t i o n a l Postal Rallies
Advocated by Leaders
''To Protest A b o l i t i o n of Jobs
Two national rallies will be held
In Washington, D. C^ by postal
employees to organize the protest
against Postmaster General Jesse
M. Donaldson's order for sharp
ciirtailment of service and dropping of 10,000 employees, half of
thenl In the Metropolitan New
York area.
The National Federation of Post
' Office Clerks will meet at the Hotel
Statler in Washington on Wednesday, May 10, and the National
Letter Carriers Association will
meet, probably at the same hotel,
on Tuesday, May 16. An effort to
* hold a joint meeting failed only
because no place large enough to
I accommodate 2,000 delegates could
j be found.
Patrick J. Fitzgerald, president
of the New York Federation of
Post Office Clerks, announced receipt of assurances from Representatives in Congress that they
would support the postal employee's efforts to have the order rescinded. Among those who so n o tified Mr. Fitzgerald were Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Jr., Donald M.
O'Toole, James J. Murphy, Isidore
Dollinger, Emanuel Celler, James
J. H e f f e m a n , Vito Marcantonio,
Eugene J. Keogh, Louis B. Heller,
and Henry J. Latham. Word from
Senators Irving M. Ives and Herbert it. Lehman is awaited.
Metropolitan Group Confers
Thirty-one representatives of
50,000 postal employees in the
Greater New York, Westchester
and Northern New Jersey area met
at the Cornish Arms Hotel In
NYC. The conference was sponsored by the Letter Carriers Association of NYC, the New York Division of the Postal Transport Association, Local 1 of the Post O f fice and Railway Mail Handlers of
New York, and the New York Federation of Post Office Clerks.
A resolution was adopted requesting the Central Trades and
Labor Council, which had promised support, to protest also on its
own behalf. The resolution also
asked that the officers and members of the assembled organizations represented be directed to
communicate with President Truman and Postmaster General Donaldson, requesting that the order
be revoked.
Will Try to Sec Truman
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the
50,000 postal employees organized
under t h e American Federation
of Labor in the Greater New York
area are pooling their resources
to undertake all-out efforts to restore adequate postal
service.
Their campaign will be highlighted by the national conferences to be held in Washington.
Mr. Fitzgerald was advised that
these conferences will be attended
by upwards of 3,000 postal e m ployees representing letter carriers, postal clerks, railway mall
clerks, and mail handler unions
from every section of the United
States. T h e representatives will
ask all Senators and Congressmen
to restore adequate postal service.
Attempts will also be made by
representative groups to get an
Interview with President T n u n a n
and Postmaster Gwieral DonaJdsdn.
N e w M o v e M a d e to Exempt
Public Pensions From T a x
A proposal made by Ralph L.
Van Name, secretary, NYC Employees Retirement System, that
a rider to the Social Security bill
be introduced whereby any provision or interpretation of law
t h a t exempts pension systems
from Federal income taxation be
employee pensions, is receiving
considerable support. The proposal
^has been indorsed by William G.
Fullen, formerly counsel to the
Transit Commission in NYC.
At present pensioners excluded,
by law. Include retired members
of the Railroad Retirement System and Social Security beneficiaries, by interpretation. The
others must pay 3 per cent tax
until the amount of their contribution to the annuity has been
equalled. Thereafter they pay the
full tax rate. Mr. Fullen com-

A large turnout of Federal employees applauded speakers at a
meeting sponsored by the Federal
Career Employees Association and
held at the Central Needle Trades
High School to publicize arguments for modification of the
present Federal veteran preference law? Veteran organizations
were represented, also, including
the American Veterans Committee, represented by
Abraham
Gross of Queens.
David Silvergleid, president of
the Joint Council of Postal Unions, and Patrick J, Fitzgerald,
president of the New York Fed-
Motor Yehkle
License Examiner
eration of Post Office Clerks, both
AFL organizations, upheld the
principle of a fairer preference
law. Many postal employees were
present.
Liberalization of the law was
advocated by each of the speakers.
Israel H. Stillman, prcsidenit of
the Federal Career Employees Association presided. He said that
to change the law the veterans
and the public must be informed
of the hardships resulting from
the present law, which costs so
many non-veteran status e m ployees their jobs because n o n veterans suffer most when reduction-in-force orders are issued.

Court to Get
^Blackball'
Case of U P W
T h e United Public Workers. 100
of whose members were given
"blackballs" on their service ratings last week, prepared t o take
the matter to court. Commissioner
Raymond M. Hilllard. who h a s
fought the UPW since entering
office as Welfare Commissioner,
lashed at the active union members because,
he
said,
they
had tried to "discredit" the department.
Frank Herbst, manager of the
U P W s welfare local, called Hllliard's action "the worst kind of
dictatorship rule."
No Warm Response
Hilliard's action did not find a
warm response among other employee groups, even those which
are bitter enemies of the left-wing
UPW. One APL union leader said:
"This is serious. If it happens to
the UPW, it can happen to us. We
have been just as critical of bad
employer practices as the UPW."
He also pointed to the "tough"
statements made over the years by
the Transport Workers Union
about the Board of Transportation. "Are they going to penalize
all the subway workers?" he asked.
The United Public Workers was
thrown out of the CIO on charges
of communist domination.

Applications to Be Ready
To Drop 22 Provisionals
About June 1 for Pension Gain The Board of Transportation
(Continued

until June 30, 1952, made possible
by a bill recently signed by Governor Thomas K Dewey.
The applications will have to be
made on t h e System's new Form
74-A.
For those under age 55 It is advantageous to start as early as
possible. For those age 55 or over,
t h e diminishing cost with advanc• Ing years usually makes it beneficial to wait until 1952 for the
effective date. But everybody desirous of converting, regardless of
effective date, should apply as
soon after June 1 next as possible.
Form 74-A will ask whether the
member desires to start in 1950,
1951 or 1952.
What New Budget Is
T h e pensi(m benefit of the new
' l a w is the increase In the service
fraction from 1/120 to 1/100,
which means that the benefit provided by the City rises 20 per
cent. For an employee-member to
gain this benefit, all he had to do
for himself at his expense is as
m u c h as the City does for him at
the City's expense.
The optional retirement age is
55, and conversion may be from
the normal age-55 plan or other
existing plan. Conversion from
any save the old age-55 plan involves considerable extra cost.
Under the liberalized pension
plan t h e City provides quarter pay
at age 55 after 25 years of service.
Instead of the previous 30 or 35
years. When the employee-member brings his account up to the
' required amount, he
provides
'equal benefit himself, hence h a l f pay retirement in 25 years results
or more than half pay for greater
length of service, less for shorter
service, all proportionately.

maximum reached only 10,000
members in NYC. "They must
have done a tremendous propaganda job." h e added. He gave
it as his feeling that no higher
membership figure was reached
because of the communist label
which the organization had borne.
Flanking Mr. Thomas during
a n interview were Patrick A.
Brady and Raymond Diana, f u n c tionaries of the local organization.
A strong drive will be made to
get higher salary schedules. Mr.
Diana said, arguing that the purchasing power of City employees
today is lower t h a n it was in 1939.
The new organization will not
organize among transit workers,
policement or fir^en. T h e first
concentration will be where there
h a s been substantial U P W m e m bership until now.
The New York City locals of
the Government and Civic E m ployees Union, as the new organization is called, have opened o f fices at 154 Nassau Street.
Mr. Thomas stated that his territory of immediate operations
takes in Yonkers in Westchester
County, and all of NYC, Nassau
and Suffolk Counties.
J o b Prospects I n c r e a s e
For C o r r e c t i o n O f f i c e r List
Eligibles on the list for Correction Officer-Bridge and Tunnel
Officer - Transit Patrolman saw
their job prospects rise again
when t h e Board of Estimate
changed t h e executive budget to
add 75 more Correction Officer
jobs.
At the same time an agreement
was announced between eligibles
and the NYC
Administration
whereby the 82 Patrolmen doing
duty at detention pens in the De^ partment of Correction will be
replaced by Correction Officers.
T h e effective date of the changes
is July 1. This is the same date
when the Board of Transportation's Transit Police Force is to
be sharply increased numerically.
T h e least attractive of the three
jobs, because of the round-theclock duties and the low pay, was
that of Bridge and Tunnel Officer. But now the salary is up to
$2,400 and the Bridge and Tunnel Authority expects to fill all
^ vacancies.
Eligibles' Victory Modified
T h e use of the same list for
filling jobs in the Department of
Licwises as Inspector of Weights
and Measm-es was protested re. t cently by provisionals, who woa
i n the Supreme Court. T h e Appellate Division, however, modified
t h e order, 4 to 1, stating that a
trial should determine whether

NEW YORK CITY NEWS
Leniency T o w a r d Impersonators
S t u d i e d in W i d e n e d I n v e s t i g a t i o n
six special cases, three involving Impersonation of candidates
for NYC jobs, are or were under
inquiry by James H. Shells, Commissioner of Investigation.
Mayor William O'Dwyer had
announced that the "practices
and policies" of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission were
under investigation by Commissioner Shells, but without revealing how extensive in scope the investigation was.
One of the six cases is that of
Thomas A. Heaney Jr., an engineering employee of the Department of Sanitation, indicted on
a charge of having impersonated
two friends In license tests for
Stationary Engineer. The friends
were indicted, too. The Commission had put Heaney on the disqualified list and considered that
sufficient punishment, as he could
not advance In City service, and
had even ousted him from a promotion exam he had passed, because of his impersonations discovered by the Commission.
The Soldier Returns
Of the five other cases, two also
eoncern impersonation.
In one of these a man took an
exam for which his brother had
applied. The genuine applicant
had enlisted in the army, after
the close of the v/ar, and as the
brother |it home needed a job. and
his wife was pregnant, he showed
lip in the soldier's place for. the
Sanitation Man test. The civilian
brother admitted to the Commission the attempted deception,
which was caught by
John
Perrone, the Commission's fingerprint expert, just as Heaney's impersonations had been.
The Commission put the offending brother on the disqualified
list.
When the soldier returned
home he learned that during his
absence his brother had showed
up in his place.
Offender's Name Restored
The soldier was completely exonerated.
middle initials are different and
the one whose name is parted by
an "F" has an "e" at the end,
while the other doesn't.
Both Cook and Cooke passed
the written test.
Cooke failed to show up for
the medical test and his name
therefore didn't appear on the eligible list. But Cook passed and his
name did appear on the eligible
list. He had previously "made"
the Patrolman (P.D.) list and was
appointed to the police force before the eligible list for Conductor was out. Of course, he was
completely in the clear, having
been in fact a victim.
13 Unlucky for Cooke
Ccoke—the one who wasn t on
the eligible list—declared he was
on it, and then filed a claim with
the Commission for veteran pref-i
erence in connection with the
i Conductor test. His application
was approved by the Commission
and he was certified to the Board
of Transportation and appointed
as Joseph P. Cooke, his real name.
Thus the candidate could claim
that he'd been certified as himself,
not as somebooty else, and appointed under his very own name,
besides.
Thirteen days after the appointment as Conductor the Commission's investigation showed up the
discrepancy between Cooke's fingThousands of employees of the erprints and those of the eligible
Board of Transportation will be- of similar name. The Conductor
come eligible in June for life in- certification was revoked and
surance equal to one year's pay Cooke's name was put on the disajt no cost to themselves, also qualified list. (Ferrone again!)
for 25 per cent disability benefits.
Gets Sanitatton. Job
The reason is that they will have
A year later, in 1948, the man
have been 10 years in NYC service, having been given NYC jobs who'd had a seventeen-day career
with status as part of unification as a Conductor applied for a job
when the City bought the BMT as Trackman, Board of Transportation. He was well up on the
and the IRT.
Other thousands will complete eligible list. The fact that his
name was on the disqualified list

NYC has set up the necessary was caught by Mr. Ferrone again,
reserve funds for such payments, and off the list went the name.
Next came the Sanitation Man
which are made to members of
the NYC Employees Retirement test. The same Cooke made this
System, of which Ralph L. Van list, too, and asked the Commission to remove his name from the
Name is secretary.
A year and a half after the
commission of the offense the
civilian's name was removed from
the disqualified list, after a hearing, and he was permitted to compete for the Cleaner (Men) job.
At the hearing the Commission
considered what it calls the "extenuating circumstances," which,
at the time of the candidate's application for the Cleaner job, included the fact that he was on
relief, that he had manifestly repented his offense, his great need
and the fact that a job would
take him off the relief rolls and
save the City money.
Thus the case of Heaney and
the two brothers, (whose last
name was Synder) arose in connection with Department of Sanitation exams. Such an exam was
to figure in still another case.
The second of the five new
cases had Impersonation overtones.
A candidate for Conductor bore
the name of Joseph P. Cook. Another candidate bore the name of
Joseph P. Cooke. Note that the

disqualified list on the ground of
his need of the job and the fact
that job was entirely different
from the others. The Commission
acceded to his request and he was
appointed a Sanitation Man.
The Francis Uiris
Another case deals with a different kind of confusion of similar names.
A provisional employee of the
Department of Welfare named
Wilhelmina Francis of The Bronx
was notified by the Commission
that she had failed the Social
Investigator test. Wilhelmina Victoria Francis of Queens, who
didn't work for the department,
passed the test and was so notified. But when the certification of
the list was received by the Welfare Department, according to the
testimony, though the name of
Wilhfelmina Victoria Francis appeared, a new supervisor told the
girl from The Bronx that she
must have been the person intended. The girl insisted that she
had been notified she failed the
test. The supervisor decided that
the Commission must have rerated the girl and so the Bronx
girl said, "All right" and was
sworn in, wondering about her
good fortune. Next the alert
Ferrone again discovered that an
appointee's
fingerprints didn't
match those of the real eligible.
Both Exonerated
The Commission's records, submitted to the Department of Investigation, showed that Wilhelmina Victoria Francis had been
properly certified.
Special delivery letters were
sent by the Commission to both
girls. They appeared before the
Commission, answering all questions. It was the first time they
had met.
The Commission, at a meeting,
fully exonerated both.
In two days the Commission
caught up with the misappointment, countermanded it, and had
the right Mass Francis appointed.
NYC Workers
Must Sign
Waiver Again
Once again the NYC employee
will have to sign payroll waivers.
A proposed waiver had been
drawn up on the basis of contlnu-»
atlon of the cost-of-living bonus,
on the same basis as in previous
years. Next the City Administration agreed to freeze the remain-^
der of the bonus into base pay,"^
The Budget Director's office
thought that the Civil Service
Commission could readjust the
pay scales of the grades to conform to the new base pay in time
i
for the July 14 payroll. The paper
work required of the Commission
proved too much for so short a
time, so a new waiver form has
been prepared.
The reason for the waivers is
that the NYC employees are being
paid above the maximum of their
civil service grades. Without the
waivers from the employees, the
City Administratioh feels that
there might be efforts to claim
promotion on the theory that
salary determines grade
and
claim also a new series of incre- '
ments.
The Commission will adopt a
waiver which must be approved by
the State Civil Service Commission before becoming effective.
Employees must sign the waiver
finally, If they want to be paid
on July 14 and thereafter. July
15 is a Saturday.
Budget Awaits Council
The 1950-51 NYC Budget, after
having been certified by Mayor
William O'Dwyer, is now awaiting
/
approval by the City Council. A
public hearing will be held by the
Council on Tuesday, May 16.
^
Additions of personnel to t h e ^
Budget Include 1,100 new Patrolmen, 200 Sanitation Men, 75 Correction Officers, 30 Asphalt Workers to the Office of the President
