U. S. Job Expansion Plan

By F. X. CLAKCY
WASHINGTON. July 3 — C o n ferences have been held by Civil
Service officials on methods of
handling any sudden large recruitm e n t arising f r o m a military
emergency.
A decision was reached on a
general method of meeting t h e
problem. T h e LEADER learned,
but no details were announced
and no oflicial s t a t e m e n t even

reached.
Should the strength of t h e
armed forces be increased, especially under new legislation t h a t
would be necessary for bringing it
above 2,000,000, rapid expansion
of civilian jobs in t h e Departments of Defense. Army and Navy
would follow, as in World W a r II,

TRUMAN'S VETO OVERRIDDEN
WASHINGTON, July 3— Senate action is being awaited on
President T r u m a n ' s veto of t h e
military credit bill for pay increases to World W a r I I veterans
In the postal service. T h e House
voted 213 to 72 last week to override ther veto. The bill provides
f o r $100 pay increases for each
year of military service. T h e President said the bill was discriminatory and little more t h a n an
"independent bonus."

vilian personnel would be expected in t h e Air Force, too. T h e
Treasury D e p a r t m e n t would be
expected t o expand enormously.
T h e present armed strength is
reported as 1,400,000.
T h e House Civil Service Committee reported out a bill which
would give nine agencies, including those mentioned, absolute discretion in dismissing civilian employees, The other agencies affected are t h e Atomic Energy Commission, t h e National Security R e sources Board and t h e National
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics. T h e measure is known as t h e
Security Bill.
Other Job Expansions
D r a f t i n g of any large number
of men would require a n additional large increase in t h e n u m ber of civilian employees, under
some type of Selective Service setup.
One of t h e effects of t h e Korean
situation has been t h e quieting of
cries of economy, because of t h e
possibility of having to increase
t h e number of civilian employees.
Unless t h e r e is actual war between t h e United States and Russia, officials didn't expect t h a t t h e
recent t u r n of events in Asia
would have any appreciable effect
on recruitment. H a r r y B. Mitchell
C h a i r m a n of the U. S. Civil Service Commission, said t h a t t h e r e
h a d been no change in recruitm e n t policy.
As to having civilians fill jobs
in the armed forces now performed by officers a n d enlisted
men, it was said t h a t nothing but
t h e usual outside efforts in t h a t
direction h a d been noticed.
Increase in S t a t e P a y
Is Chapters' M a i n Topic
At meetings of S t a t e Division
chapters of The Civil Service E m ployees Association t h e principal
topic of conversation among t h e
members is a general iiacrease in
State pay.
T h e Association itself is conducting a study of the pay schedule in t h e State, in other governmental jurisdictions a n d in private industry, and has made com-
parisons with t h e cost of living as
well.
Irving Cohen,-research consulta n t of t h e Association, h a s been
gathering facts and figures. T h e
LEADER pointed out last week,
on t h e basis of facts h e h a d
gleaned, t h a t about one-fifth of
all persons working for t h e S t a t e
receive less t h a n $2,000 a year,
according to t h e latest d a t a obtainable.
T h e employees themselves are
reinforcing such arguments with
recounting of their own difficulty
in m a i n t a i n i n g themselves and
their families properly on their
present pay.
At t h e recent meetings of t h e
Metropolitan, Central and Western Conferences of t h e Association, t h e pay topic was also uppermost. T h e Conferences consist of
chapters united in regional areas.
Newly-elected officers of chapters a n d Conferences, in discussing their programs, invariably

T h e Association's activity on t h e

The Nof-So-Coid War and the Association
Tuesday, July 4th, has been set aside as a day of dedication for all Americans in this tragic year 1950. Men and
women who have some part, large or small, in government
remember, perhaps better than others, the profound changes
in the everyday life of everyone, that comes with mobilization and a preparedness campaign.
Like every sane citizen I do not despair of peace, but
we are committed to sanctions against the aggressor; to
defensive measures or armament aid in large areas of Asia;
to common action with our associates in the United Nations
—all in the effort to stop aggression in its tracks. If fortunately we are involved not in a total war but in a limited
conflict, the result on our way of life will still, I think, be
profound.
It is, therefore, appropriate to remember that war creates vast difficulties and dangers for the public employees
and for their Association.
First Duty of Public
Employees
The State employees fought a small war for survival
of their own during both the first and second world wars.
They tried equally hard to do all that they could to win the
two big wars.
To a large degree you, your associates and your Civil
Service Employees Association will find the going more difficult in the near future and in the new Association year.
The United Nations Pacific punitive enterprise will bear
more heavily on us Americans than on most of our associate nations.
Our first duty as public employees will be to keep the
many and expanding services of the government operations
at full efficiency to win the conflict. Every extra national
effort involves and implies an extra strain on the States
and the municipalities. It will, I fear, be more difficult for
your officers and representatives to hold even the essential
gains we have come to take for granted. It will be even
harder to keep up with mounting costs of living and inflated salaries in defense industries. It will not be easy to
protect civil service from raids and attacks. It will not be
easy but it must be done if you and the public service are
not tt) suffer.
Full Participation
in Election
Urged
All this calls for action now by every memberT^t this
time there is special need for a practical dedication of yourself to your Association as the chief instrument of your
professional welfare. There is f a r greater need than usual
for the full exercise of your Association citizenship.
Will you not help the Association find, for the crucial
days ahead, the best possible leadership in every chapter,
in every Conference and in the Association itself? This
means of course seeing to it that the best members are
nominated for office, either by the nominating committee
or by petition, and that from those nominated you select
and vote for the candidate you really believe can best act in
your interest as your trusted representative and agent during the coming year.

ALBANY, July 3—A campaign,
to repeal Amendment 5—the celebrated Mitchell bill on veteran
preference—has
been
formally
undertaken by the Albany County
Committee of the American Legion.
A resolution passed by t h e
County unit will come up f o r
action by t h e statewide Legion
convention to be held in S y r a - f
cuse on August 10-12.
While Amendment 5 won in
the State, in Albany County it
failed by a large margin. I t was
in this county t h a t the Legionnaires campaigned most actively
against it. Elsewhere, however,
the Legion was not united against
the measure. Two NYC posts
have only recently been suspended for their activity in favor of
Amendment 5. A total of nearly
330 organizations — women's, l a bor, civil service, civic business
a n d professional — combined t o
win passage of t h e measure. On
t h e other side were most of t h e
veteran organizations.
Shomrim Society
Formed in Westchester
At a meeting held at the Yonkers Jewish Community Center,
attended by a group of civil s e r vice employees of Westchester
County, it was decided to form a
Shomrim Society, patterned a f t e r
t h e Shromim Society, NYC Police
Dei>artment. Several officials of
t h e NYC Shomrim were pre.'^ent
to assist in t h e forming of this organization. T h e purpose of this
organization will be religious a n d
fraternal.
All civil service employees a r e
elifTible as lor.? r s , h : y are e m ployed in
County.
T h e next meeting will be h e l d '

Progress Reports
On Tests Vital
T
h e interest shown by the new President of the NYC
Civil Service Commission in instituting an advance
schedule of exams covering a sizeable period is encouraging.
Such a system broadens the base of competition and tends
to attract better qualified candidates. A person looking forward to a career in a public job, if given notice of a test
well in advance, will better prepare for it. The advance publicity itself will attract more candidates.
The State Civil Service Department began listing tests
f o r the entire 1950 calendar year. It recently issued a complete schedule that includes all revisions.
The NYC Board of Education gives notice of exams well
in advance. Its latest schedule covers some tests f o r teaching jobs that will open as late as December 18, as well as
others, as listed elsewhere in this issue, that are now open.

EAST AURORA, July 3 — T h e
Western New York Conference at
Its recent a n n u a l meeting heard
some
stralght-from-the-shoulder
comments on t h e subject: " W h a t
t h e Public Expects of t h e Public
Employee."
Two of a group of addresses delivered a t t h e summer meeting of
t h e organization, a unit of T h e
Civil Service Employees Association, dealt with this subject. Election of officers took place at t h e
same meeting.
The affair, comprising a business meeting, tilnner, and f u n , was
held in t h e Roycroft I n n , East
Aurora.
T h e roster of speakers included
Louise C. Gerry, S t a t e Civil Service Commissioner; William F. McDonough, executive representative
of the Civil Service Employees Association; Francis A. MacDonald,
2d vice-president of t h e Association; Assemblyman J o h n J . Pillion; J o h n Cooke, c h a i r m a n of t h e
Erie County Board of Supervisors;
Charles R. Waters, District Engineer of Public Works District No.
5; Thomas Ryan, S t a t e Director
of Public Safety, and J o h n J. Foy,
Assistant Director of Public Safety.
More T h a n 300 Attend
W i t h more t h a n 300 in a t t e n d ance, this was the largest meeting of the Western Conference to
date. Raymond L. Munroe, Conference president, was in charge
of t h e meeting. The H a m b u r g
Public Works c h a p t e r acted as
host and Joseph A. Crotty, chapter president, welcomed t h e assemblage.
Miss Gerry told the group t h a t
the public expected both efficiency
and polite service f r o m t h e S t a t e
President James S. Watson and his fellow-Commissioners, Paul P. Brennan and Paul A. Fino, who are administering NYC civil service, are seeing that up-to-date
progress • reports on exams are issued. A regular schedule
of such reports, at least once a month, preferably twice a
month, should be established. The State Civil Service Department, on the other hand, has discontinued progress
reports, although they were the finest ones issued. It is
likely to restore them, on the urgent plea of The Civil Service Employees Association. Discontinuance was based on the
theory that lists would be established within three months
of the holding of a test, so the final report would be issued
soon enough. But it hasn't worked out quite that way, judging f r o m recent examples. The m a j o r percentage of lists
may well be issued within three months, but lists with hundreds or thousands of names take much more than three
months, and sometimes nearly a year. The majority of lists
is something quite different f r o m the majority of candidates.
An Obligation
to the
Customers
In exams conducted by the State and local commissions
under its supervision, candidates pay an application fee. In
the Federal tests they don't. The payment of that fee, plus
the democratic recognition of an obligation to candidates,
makes essential both the scheduling of exams long in advance
and the issuance of timely progress reports on regular
schedule. Civil service commissions must render service of
paramount importance to candidates. A sense of obligation
and responsibility is involved. Also, candidates are t h e commissions' best customers.
COMMENT
PENSIONS ARTICLES
CALLED MASTERLY
Editor, The LEADER:
You deserve an accolade for having excellently performed a service for t h e S t a t e employees, In
connection with t h e 55year plan
Xor retirement. I t was most interesting to see how well this was
imderstood among those who read
T h e LEADER, and t h e contrasting
uncertainty and confusion among
those who do not. Your week-byweek summaries of t h e latest concepts developed in connection
•with it were most helpful, so t h a t
your readers were always u p to
date. For your fine job of education you deserve t h e boundless
gratitude of all members of t h e
Btate R e t i r e m e n t System for a
materly joo.

EFFECT OF BONUS FREEZE
ON PENSION PAYMENTS
Editor, The LEADER:
Regarding the bonus freeze aiding Police a n d Firemen t h e most,
a point not mentioned was t h e
possibility t h a t a t some f u t u r e
time salary m a y be reduced, with
subsequent reduction in pension,
especially for those in t h e Fire
P^artmcut under the 1-A plan.
T h e only Firemen who benefit
at present are those who are about
to retire. This is a small percentage of t h e total. Those to retire
average about 10 more years to go.
Firemen entering a t first grade
r a t i n g will be paying about $40
more a year and have 17 more
years to go before retiring. They,
plus all members of t h e 1-B p e n sion plan, have to get a certain
r a t e of pay for five years before
may retire on one-half t h a t pay.

Editor, T h e LEADER:
I n February, 1949, a n examination was given to 43,000 persons

employees. With t h e right kind of
service given, t h e employee m a y
expect public recognition. "We do
not need more civil service laws,"
Miss Gerry m a i n t a i n e d , ' " b u t we
do need proper enforcement of the
present civil service law."
Membership Vital
Mr. MacDonald, who is chairm a n of t h e Southern Regional
Conference as we.'l as a member
of t h e Assocaition Board, made
membership his main theme. Giving t h e Association's membership
figure at 49,000, Mr. MacDonald
said, "This is not enough. Every
member should see t h a t all nonmembers are thoroughly appreciative of t h e work of t h e Association. 'Free riders' are a heavy b u r den on yoiu- back, and t h e sooner
everyone is pulling instead of riding or dragging along, t h e easier
will be t h e journey."
Asking unity, particularly in t h e
face of a coming demand for wage
increases, Mr. MacDonald lu-ged,

By THEODORE BECKER
If you are serving a probationary period, you know t h a t
you can be dropped at t h e very
end of such period
without
charges. If you are kept in t h e
job beyond your probationary
period, you can be removed only
on charges of incompetency or
misconduct.
But can you be dropped f r o m
your job before t h e end of your
probationary p e r i o d
without
charges? No, not legally, because
you are entitled to a full probationary period in which to demonstrate to your appointing officer t h a t you are capable of p e r forming satisfactory service in
t h e position t o which you have
been appointed. Of course, if you
have been guilty of- misconduct
6r clearly show t h a t you are incompetent before your probationary period is up, you can be r e moved on charges.
It is often desirable, for your
own sake as well as in tire interest of t h e taxpayer, to be removed
f r o m t h e probationary position in
which you are definitely a failure
before t h e entire probationary
t e r m h a s r u n its course. I t is
recognized t h a t t h e ultimate test
of a candidate's ability to serve
satisfactorily is his p e r f o r m a n c e
on t h e job. Hence, t h e power is
given to a n appointing officer to
drop a n unsatisfactory probationer.
DroDDed During T e r m
B u t suppose a n appointing o f ficer does t e r m i n a t e t h e service
of a n unsatisfactory probationer
before t h e end of his t e r m without preferring charges. W h a t can
t h e probationer do?
I n a recent case involving this
question, t h e probationer sued for
reinstatement to his job. Serving
a probationary t e r m as a Prison
Guard, he h a d been dropped without charges, more t h a n
two
months before t h e end of his probationary period. T h e prisoa officials urged tha*; t h e employee h a d
voluntarily abondoned his job. A
referee who took testimony on t h e
questions of f a c t raised, f o u n d
t h a t t h e Prison G u a r d h a d not
court, therefore, decided t h a t t h e
employee h a d to be reinstated for
t h e balance o j his probationary
period.
Dropped at End of T e r m
However, it appeared t h a t a t
t h e end of such period, t h e p r i son officials h a d formally a n d
summarily dismissed t h e employee again. On this score, t h e sole
issue was whether or not a t t h e
end of t h e probationary period
t h e dismissal of the employee
h a d been in good faith. T h e court
pointed out t h a t such dropping
a t t h e end of the probationary
period is a m a t t e r within t h e
discretion of t h e appointing o f ficer, provided he acted in good
faith. On this issue, t h e referee
foimd t h a t t h e prison officials
h a d indeed acted in good f a i t h .
T h e evidence before t h e referee
sustained t h e conclusion t h a t t h e
employee's conduct was not s u c h
as to entitle him to a p e r m a n *
ent appointment.
Accordingly, the court ordered
t h e employee's r e i n s t a t e m e n t o n
t h e books for t h e balance of h i s
probationary t e r m but approved
his dismissal at t h e end of such
term. (Wolf v. Conway, 276 App.

A Tested M e t h o d that Aids
Y o u in Passing a n Exam
cases of decimals t h e r e is almost
no numerical c h a n g e involved,
just t h e movement of a decimal
point, such as "Multiply .0001 x
.01," W h e t h e r or not t h e r e is necessity for c o m p u t a t i o n , t h e correct answer is always one of t h e
multiple choice answers. However,
in some te.sts t h e r e a p p e a r s as one
of t h e multiple choices t h i s a n swer: "None of these." R e m e m b e r
t h a t sometimes t h a t ' s t h e r i g h t
answer.
Following the a r i t h m e t i c , tackle
t h e r e m a i n i n g group of u n a n swered questions. All questions
should be answered. No answer is
counted t h e s a m e as a wrong answer, so In choosing a n answer
you can lose nothing. Fill in t h e
answer space on one oblong for
each que.srJon. In t h i s way you
m a y pick u p a n additional correct
answer, a n d it m a y be t h e one
t h a t m e a n s t h e difference between
passing a n d failing.
I t isn't necessary to m a r k either
t h e question or sheet to identify
any previously omitted answers.
T h e blank .spaces between t h e dots
reveal the u n a n s w e r e d questions.
As t h e dotted oblongs are n u m bered, it is simple to i d e n t i f y t h e
corresponding question. T h a t ' s one
reason why it's better to follow t h e
r o u t i n e j u s t de.scribed t h a n to
read all t h e questions t h r o u g h
first, before answering any. T h e n
you'd really need notes to i d e n t i f y
t h e postponements.
Question Types Analyzed
T h e form of Federal test questions h a s become standardized.
T h e r e are two principal types, or
a combination of t h e two. T h e
English used in m a n y questions
is not necessarily the kind u s u a l ly h e a r d or read. And t h e n u m b e r
of words appearing in a question
r u n s u.sually f r o m 40 to 80. T h e
questions c o n t a i n three, f o u r or
five t h o u g h t s .
While all
the
t h o u g h t s are, of course, related,
t h e r e is f r e q u e n t l y a closer relation.shjp between c e r t a i n of t h e
t h o u g h t s . T h o u g h t s Nos. 1 a n d 4
m a y t e n d to f o r m something like
a single t h o u g h t , a n d t h o u g h t s
Nos. 2 a n d 3 likewise. T h e n u m ber of words in e a c h multiple
choice answer is fewer t h a n in t h e
questions.
T h e general idea is t h a t t h e one
or more t h o u g h t s in t h e answer
are to be f o u n d a m o n g t h e m o r e
voluminous t h o u g h t s in t h e question. t h o u g h t h e
words
and
p h r a s e s differ as between t h e
question a n d answer. And not all
of t h e t h o u g h t s in t h e question
are necessarily in t h e answer. T h e
words are spelled correctly a n d
t h e g r a m m a r is r i g h t ; if t h e English is out of t h e ordinary, t h i s
m a y be only a n added d e m a n d on
your comprehension.
Comprehension Vastly Important
I t is surpritiing to m a n y c a n d i d a t e s how m u c h aid t h e y get
t o w a r d a t t a i n i n g a higher score
in a n e x a m i n a t i o n if they are
acriuainted with t h e tested m e t h o d s of achieving best p e r f o r m ance. Heads of civil service a d m i n i s t r a t i o n s themselves have followed a definite technique along
t h i s line, for m a n y of t h e m have
risen to t h e i r present positions
only a f t e r passing competitive examinations.
Nearly all of t h e e x a m i n a t i o n s
a r e now of multiple choice type,
with four or five optional answers
f o r each question. For t h e PVderal tests t h e n u m b e r is usually
f o u r . It would be possible to obt a i n a score of 25 per cent, as a
guess a t four possible answers, not
only because of t h e f o u r choices
but because actual sampling of
c a n d i d a t e s deliberately i n s t r u c t e d
to guess in mock e x a m s produced
t h a t result.
If one re.sort.s to guessing he is
r u n n i n g a great risk of failing t h e
test.
What to Do at the Start
B i i n g your admission card to
t h e test. You won't even get in
without it. Also bring a pen, a
pencil, a n eraser, a blotter a n d a
watch. O f t e n n o n e of these is
actually nece.ssary, but when even
one of t h e m is, it m a y be t h e
m e a n s of your passing.
I n most tests only a pencil is
used. T h e Civil /^Service Commis.sion f u r n i s h e s it. I t contains a
.sF>ecial lead, to blacken in a n
answer space between six dots.
'ITie.se dots are a r r a n g e d in two
vertical rows, each four dots high,
f o r m i n g a space in between of
about
wide a n d ',4" high.
All the space m u s t be blocked in.
I t is better to go a little too f a r
outside t h a n to fail to fill t h e required space with pencil m a r k i n g ,
.since too little m i g h t prevent registration by t h e electric scoring
machine.
Some tests call for a n essay,
besides t h e blocking-in type of
answer. Essays are always r a t e d
to some extent on neatness. And
n e a t n e s s is more easily a c c o m plished if t h e r e is a n o p p o r t u n i t y
t o erase. If t h e essay m a y be w r i t ten in either pen or pencil, use a
pencil becau.se of t h e better facilities for earsiye.
Procedure Regarding: Answers
W h e n you're given t h e signal
t o s t a r t , begin reading t h e questions in niunericiri order a n d immediately answer those you feel
confident you c a n answer correctly. Skip the d o u b t f u l ones.
Once having answered a question in this speedy phase, don't
read t h e question again and don't
c h a n g e a n answer. Psychologically, your first impression is usually right.
Questions to skip deliberately
a r e those involving a r i t h m e t i c ,
for, however simple, they require
m o r e time. T h e fa.stest way to
skip these is rsimply to look for
n u m e r a l s in t h e context of t h e
question. If they're t h e r e you
know you're dealing with a r i t h metic, so don't read t h e question.
W h e n all o t h e r questions have
been answeied, except those with
)uunerais in the answers and those
for which you are unable to provide a ready answer, t h e n e x t
st p is to road t h e a r i t h m e t i c
(lucstions carefully. Give special
<
to tliose involving a decimal
point < there arc always some of
these) and proceed with t h e an.swors. If any c o m p u t a t i o n is nec<'ssary, a sheet of scratch p a p e r
h a s been i)rovided. So, if you receive no .scratch paper, get ready
to tackle m e n t a l arithmetic.
•Wiilch Out for 'None of These'
Tiie computing formulas a r e
never unduly involved. In t h e
I t is i m p o r t a n t a t all times to
u n d e r s t a n d a question fully. M a n y
wrong answers result not f r o m
inability to do a problem or select t h e correct idea but to failure
of comprehension of w h a t ' s a c t u ally asked. One type of r e c u r r e n t
que.stion, for instance, asks w h a t
N O T to do. F o r in.stance, t h e
query, put in a question of 60 or
80 words a n d in f o u r or five
t h o u g h t s , all in one sentence, may
ask w h a t is t h e best way N O T to
wind a watch. I n answering, t h e
alert c a n d i d a t e looks for two opposite answers in t h e multiple
choice answers. T h e n h e r u n s back
quickly over t h e question to .see
if it calls for a n affirmative or a
negative answer.
Questions do not usually relate
to any extent to a p a r t i c u l a r job
or d e p a r t m e n t or law.
The Formula Summarized
I n almost all tests t h e time factor is i m p o r t a n t . Some tests, in
f a c t , are not even of t h e .so-called
completion type, but d e t e r m i n e

c a n answer correctly, u n d e r c o n ditions t h a t m a k e it practically
impossible for a n y c a n d i d a t e to
answer t h e m all. T h e non-completion type test is r a r e in e x a m s
for public jobs, but t h a t doesn't
eliminate t h e necessity of saving
time. So t h e answer to t h e puzzle
is:
1. Read each question, starting with the first, and register
the answer to each question as
soon as you're satisfied you understand the question and know
the answer, except mathematical ones.
2. The questions remaining
are now the ones that stump the
candidate, or matematical ones.
To these he may devote more
time, but if he hasn't moved
quickly about answerinj? the
ready questions, he may not
have enough time for answering
the deJayed ones.
T h e m a t h e m a t i c a l questions are
most bothersome to c a n d i d a t e s
who don't r e a d carefully. T h e
question m a y be p h r a s e d with
complexity, but t h a t ' s a f a i r p a r t
of t h e test, since besides w a n t i n g
to learn if t h e c a n d i d a t e knows
t h e a r i t h m e t i c , t h e F e d e r a l Gove r n m e n t is interested in d e t e r m i n i n g if h e h a s quickness of
comprehension in reading. A correct answer in a fully-answered
p a p e r is proof of both skills. If
one lingers over a simple problem
in m e n t a l a r i t h m e t i c , he loses valuable time.
Square Deal
Assured
I n r a r e i n s t a n c e s a question
m a y be poorly worded, obscure or
contradictory. If so, t h e c a n d i d a t e
should note t h e n u m b e r of t h e
question a n d within a few days of
h a v i n g t a k e n t h e exam, protest in
writing to t h e a p p r o p r i a t e Civil
Service Commission. T h e Federal
G o v e r n m e n t ' s practice, w h e n convinced t h a t a question wasn't
clear, .suitable or fair, is to give
each c a n d i d a t e credit as if he h a d
answered t h e question correctly.
O t h e r commissions m a y strike out
such a question entirely.
N o t h i n g should be written on
t h e e x a m i n a t i o n p a p e r except t h e
m a r k s for t h e answers, unless one
is instructed otherwise; if a n y
s c r a t c h paper is to be used, t h e
Commission will supply it; if n o n e
is supphed, t h e n either n o n e is
expected to be used, or t h e c a n d i d a t e will be i n f o r m e d as to w h a t
blank p a r t s of t h e e x a m i n a t i o n it.self m a y be used for c o m p u t a tions. If .scratch paper is used, t h e
m o n i t o r will .state w h e t h e r or not
it's to be t u r n e d in with t h e exa m i n a t i o n paper.
Sometimes c a n d i d a t e s are told
by t h e Commission to bring a
blotter to t h e test, but a blotter
would be needed only in a n essay
type test, .since a pencil m u s t be
used for answering t h e multiple
choice type questions. Since n e a r ly all tests a r e multiple choice,
few c a n d i d a t e s ever bring blotters.

How Many Days in a Year?
As'^istant Claims E x a m i n e r a p plicants m a y have familiarized
themselvevS with sections of t h e
law.5 relating to u n e m p l o y m e n t
i n s u r a n c e because t h e y r e a d in
their
official
announcements:
" C a n d i d a t e s m u s t have a t h o r ough knowledge of t h e provisions
of t h e N. Y. S t a t e U n e m p l o y m e n t
Tn.surance Law, a n d f a m i l i a r i t y

F e d e r a l law relating to v e t e r a n s
r e a d j u s t m e n t allowances a n d u n e m p l o y m e n t allowances for s e a men."
Apparently whoever wrote t h e
a n n o i m c e m e n t was not t h e s a m e
person who wrote t h e test questions.
As to a r i t h m e t i c a n d law, t h i s
is a f a i r sample of t h e questions:
Q For which of the following
time periods is a totally u n e m ployed veteran entitled to receive
benefits: 1, 10 days; 2. 50 days;
3. 100 days: 4. 250 days; 5, 365

Basis f o r Appeal
T h e a r g u m e n t a g a i n s t denying
