Lyons, State Commissioner of Correction, died in hi.s sleep on T h u r s day, July 12.
Highly regarded by two State

employees in his department, Mr.
Lyons' passing has created a sense
of tragedy in the Correction Department. Governor Dewey, issuing a statement from Tokyo, stated
t h a t he is "deeply shocked to learn
of the sudden and tragic passing"
of Mr. Lyons. Death was attributed
to a heart attack.

Mr. Lyons assisted in his work. In
1936, he was named chief inspector in charge of the NYC detective division.
Appointed Commissioner
He was appointed State Correction Commissioner by Governor
Herbert H. Lehman in 1939, and
reappointed by Governor Dewey
in 1943, 1947, and 1951. He wa.s
the only Democrat holdover appointed to Governor Dewey's cabinet when the Republicans took
over.
Mr. Lyons was 63 years old. He
is survived by his widow, Margaret

J o h n Jr.
ALBANY, July 16 — Jesse B.
McFarland, president, Civil Service Employees Association, com-menting on the death of Commissioner J o h n A. Lyons, said:
"All in public service in New
York State are saddened by the
passing of John Lyons. His a d mini.stration of State prisons es-M
tablished a new high standard.
^
"Commissioner Lyons was a
pioneer among public administra- '
tors in recognizing the value of ^
participation of employees in 2
decisions affecting employment i
conditions. He instituted a plan j
of conferences with representa- I
tives of the employees own c h o o s - i
ing, and the representp.tives w e r e "
called to Albany at regular Inter- '
vals. He backed up the fair a p - j
peals of his employees with executive and legislative leaders a n d
with the Civil Service Commission
in all matters of salary, hours of
work, overtime, and leave privileges.
"His sincerity and humaneness
were so real t h a t they inspired i m mediate respect and friendship."

Published every Tuesday by
Monaghan Makes
A Fine Beginning
p.
has entered upon his duties as
G NYC PoliceMonaghan
Commissioner in a way that has a good,
e o r g e
solid, substantial look. If he continues his refreshing approach, the Police Department can look forward not only
to internal improvement, but to heightened public regard.
His first statement was that he would go to work on
the terrible narcotics problem in an effort to "suppress
the sale and use" of the drug. Every parent will say amen.
He said flatly that he would give "full cooperation
without restriction" to the Mayor's Committee on Management Survey, which has been stymied up till now in its efforts to improve the Police Department's efficiency. All
good government groups will applaud Monaghan's decision in this.
There would be periodic conferences between him and
the District Attorneys in the five counties, as well as with
other local law-enforcement officials. Such coordination
ought to result in much swifter, more efficient police
operation.
He will work "shoulder to shoulder*' with his men,
he states. There is reason to hope that he may bring enlightened labor relations within the department. K he
does, he will be accomplishing a major improvement.
Promotions, he added, would be based on merit Mid
"nobody will be promoted unless his work is deserving.
A statement from a Police Commissioner lauding the merit
system is a welcome innovation. If Commissioner Monaghan can resist the blandishments and pressures of the
politicians, and really push the merit system all the way
up the line, he will be performing a great public s«rvic€
for the people of the City.
The beginning is excellent. Keep it up, G e ^ ^ I
The Bitter Words
Of Mr. Embree
E RECORD below the bitter, important words written
last week by William Dean Embree, chairman of
W
the executive committee of tiie Civil Service Reform
Tuesday, July 17,1951'
Court Lists R e a s o n s
A decision in point was r e n d e r e d
by t h e S u p r e m e Court in New
York C o u n t y last year. An e m ployee of a private subway system
t a k e n over by NYC was classified
as a n Assistant Supervisor ( S t r u c t u r e s ) in 1942 a f t e r a h e a r i n g bef o r e a technical review committee.
More t h a n seven y e a r s passed,
d u r i n g which t h e employee c o m p e t e d in a promotion e x a m i n a t i o n
f o r Supervisor ( S t r u c t u r e s ) on t h e
basis of his s t a t u s as a n Assistant

employee b r o u g h t a court suit f o r
t h e h i g h e r title c o n t e n d i n g t h a t
h e h a d not been properly classified originally.
T h e Court pointed out t h a t (1),
t h e proceeding should h a v e been
c o m m e n c e d within f o u r m o n t h s
a f t e r t h e classification h a d become final a n d binding; <2), t h e
employee, h a v i n g competed in a

h e qualified oniy by being a n Ass i s t a n t Supervisor, is b a r r e d f r o m

h i m , as h e was seeking n o m o r e
t h a n h e was originally entitled to,
t h e Court t h o u g h t otherwise.
"His action in so competing was
a n irrevocable recognition of t h e
legality a n d validity of his classification a n d reclassification by t h e
commission," t h e Couro held, " a n d
also a waiver of a n y r i g h t to question it. He c a n n o t t a k e an i n c o n sistent s t a n d of claiming t h e a c tion was illegal, a n d t h e n , in

T h e r e a r e m a n y points in f a v o r
of t h e Social Security System, for

1. If a S t a t e employee leaves his

w h e r e a s u n d e r t h e Social Security

are equal to or even s u r p a s s t h e
a m o u n t of a n n u i t y u n d e r t h e S t a t e
plan.
3. Recently, Social Security h a s
increased benfits substantially, to
reflect t h e inflated cost of living.
Thus, Social Security is of a flexible c h a r a c t e r . T h e S t a t e plan h a s

Comment
Association.
"Civil service machinery suffers throughout the State
from politics, distrust of brilliance and flexibility, too low
pay levels and lack of promotion opportunities. It is inescapable that in spite of almost 70 years under the Civil
Service Law, it is still easier to advance in the service'if
one has good political connections. A quick review of
many of the government departments lends credence to
the view that safe mediocrity pays off better than brilliance. Public positions, from top to bottom, come off
•econd best in the race with industry for the best talent.
"Civil service suffers from administration by *in-bred
public administration theorists.' Public personnel manageBient in recent years has, in truth, become a pseudo•eience in the eyes of its practitioners, and to some of
tlMin the techniques have become more important than
fh« ends to be served. As in all technical operations, there
li sometimes a temptation to forget the objectives in the
flMcination of devising new forms and methods, and to
MDow rules rather than attempt to solve problems."

Croup Oral Test
Attracts 130 Observers;
Purpose of Exam Described
ALBANY, July 18 — Twelve
public service interns staged two
demonstrations of a group oral
examination last week in the
State Capitol for State department
appointing officers, personnel officials and Civil Service Department technicians.
The demonstrations lasted two
hours each with Ann Brown,
Health; Phylis Cohen, Insurance;
David Hadley, Conservation; G i f ford Hood, Health; Lawrence Kowitch. State University, and John
Lauber acting as "candidates" a t
the morning session.
Interns Carolyn McNally, Civil
Service; Florence Miller. Dept. of
Mental Hygiene;* Eugene Schwartz. Thruway Authority; Stephen Shekman, Education; Cornelius Walsh, Labor, and Louis
Welch, Parole, were the "candidates" for the afternoon demonstration.
130 guests watched the demonstrations.
Orals Still Limited
New York has conducted 10
group oral examinations in the
past three years. So f a r , the oral
discussion tests have been limited.
Civil service technicians say results and reaction have been "excellent."
The tests usually are used only
where there are limited numbers of
candidates for a promotional examination.
The Purpose
Purpose of group orals is to
test a candidate's ability to deal
effectively with others, to speak
effectively with others, and to
speak well. Tact and poise are also
evident in this type of examination.
The method is to create situations in which candidates can
demonstrate their possesion or
lack of these abilities by his inter-action with other candidates.
T h e candidates are scored by
examiners who observe the entire
examination, which usually is
tape-recorded.
The Port of New York Authority, the New York City Board of
Education and the federal government also have used group oral
discussion tests.

trigger bar, feather touch operation, releases suds t h a t clean your
dishes thoroughly, while the Nylon Brush-head, made by the
Fuller Brush Co., brushes oft
scraps. With the release of the
trigger bar, the flow of suds f r o m
the brush stops, and clean hot
water sprays from the rinse nozzle. The tapered spiral brush
easily reaches the bottom of deep
glasses, gets into the corners of
square pans and every household
utensil. Wiping of dishes is unnecessary. since they will dry
sparkling bright and clean, particularly if ''Sudslets" Detergen*
Tablets are used. There is nothing
to Install. The entire operation is
mechanical. The Tom Thumb
dishwasher Is yours complete, for

TECHNICAL PERSONNEL of
the Board of Water Supply are
trying to get Deputy Chief Engineer Victor C. Brownson to let
them be represented by persons
of their own choosing in negotiations over five grievances t h a t
will be aired at a conference
vsoon. The Civil Service Technical Guild reports t h a t Mr. Brownson has ruled t h a t "no outsiders" wiU be admitted and the
unton takes this to irxlude representatives of the Government
and Civic Employees Organizing
Committee, CIO, of which the
Guild is a part.
Raymond E. Diana, representative of the GCEOC, has protested
to President Irving V. A. Huie,
saying t h a t in no other City department or agency "does such an
archaic policy exist."
THE LARGEST number of applications received by the NYC
Civil Service Commission last
month was for promotion to Captain (P.D.), for which 483 applied. The Fire Lieutenant promotion exam had topoed a previous monthly listing. The promotion exams are expected to bring
out the largest number of candidates in mcst of the tests t h a t
the Commission will Hold in the
fall and winter, excepting the
open-'competitive onet for Assistant Gardener, Railroad Clerk
and Helper, the last two for Board
of Transportation job3.

Continues at a High Level
ALBANY, J u l y 16, — Interest
In the forthcoming Art Show of
t h e Civil Service Employees Association holds a t a high level.
A cursory survey showed t h a t
m a n y employees are

t h a t twenty or more of it employees are planning to submit exhibits.
For Amateurs, Too
Charles B. Sheridan, c h a i r m a n
of the Art Show Committee, In
commenting upon t h e preliminary
canvas, said:
" T h e Committee hopes t h a t everyone who Indulges in t h e a r t s
as a pastime or profession will
contemplate submitting specimens
of their handiwork. This is not a n
Art Show for professional painters
alone — but one serving t h e a m a t e u r as well. It is p a r t of t h e effort
•f the Association to stimulate cul-
t u r a l activities to relieve t h e t e n sions of present-day living a n d
also to demonstrate t h a t public
employees a n d their families are
h u m a n beings with Interests In
living beyond t h e limits of their
job or the emoluments accompanying them."
He continued:
"Anyone eligible who h a s a
painting, etching or piece of sculpture to present is urged to r e m e m ber the deadline of Tuesday, September 4, 1951. If anyone h a s a n
exhibit ready for submission now,
it can be sent to t h e Albany Instit u t e of History and Art. 125 W a s h ington Ave., Albany. N. Y. a n d
it will be safely stored for review
by t h e judges. T h e three m a n jury,
whose n a m e s will be announced
soon, will work selecting t h e exhibits some time during t h e period
f r o m September 4 until t h e opening of t h e show on t h e 18th."
outside of Albany:
" I t is particularly gratifying for
us to receive inquiries regarding
t h e show f r o m t h e counties s u r rounding t h e Capitol. We have
advertised as widely as possible,
sending out more t h a n 500 posters
to every public official, a r t t e a c h ers and legislators in the area. R e member, every public employee
a n d / o r his spouse is eligible. This
includes elected officials, school
teachers or employees as well as
those we usually define as civil
servants. T h e Committee urges
t h e representatives of t h e Association to aid in spreading i n f o r mation about it as f a r as possible."
Public employees in Albany, Columbia, Essex, Fulton, Greene,
H a m i l t o n , ' Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, W a r r e n or Washington
