Al) have m e n t in their p e r m a n e n t titles when t h e New York City u n e m ployment insurance claims load rises again as it is expected to do when fall seasonal layoffs in t h e apparel industry begin. Interviews for all laid off e m ployees in New York City were scheduled promptly by t h e Commercial and Professional office of t h e Division (New York S t a t e E m ployment Service). Every possible assistance is being offered t h e m , and Mr. Loysen expressed t h e hope t h a t those who could not be t r a n s ferred to other jobs in t h e Division would have little trouble in t h e present* active labor m a r k e t in securing jobs in private industry promptly. T h e employees t h e m selves, however, deplored t h e i n security which constantly ravages their jobs. Many of t h e m called t h e situation intolerable.

September 30 Last Day The last day for pregent employees to accept t h e liberalized plan is Tuesday, September 30. Those appointed a f t e r September 30 would have t h e r i g h t to select t h e higher-pension plan, since it remains open indefinitely for new employees, who never h a d an opportunity to m a k e t h e choice. T h e better deal gives t h e e m ployees quite a n advantage. T h e S t a t e imposed t h e time limit so t h a t employees would be encouraged to accept t h e more liberal basis. Also, as one S t a t e official put it, t h e S t a t e didn't w a n t to continue being so generous too long, especially if recognition of the extra benefit was substantially lacking among employees. Act Now, Says M c F a r l a n d President Jesse B. McFarland of t h e Civil Service Employees Association urged all members of t h e Association eligible for t h e better benefits to accept t h e m without delay. If they do let time r u n out on t h e m , they m a y live t o regret it, h e warned.

S. Civil Service Commission. The Acting Postmaster of the New York, N. T. post office, George M. Bragalini, h a s three months to go, and the Commission h a s no intention of extending the six-months period. The law requires an open-competitive exam. So, believe it or not, an e x a m to All the $12,800 position of postmaster is in prospect. Acting Postmaster Bragalini h a s endeared himself to postal workers because of his interest in their probelms, even though he is the first postmaster of New York to inspect branch offices before 6 A.M. to check conditions. When the exam is held, he's expected to compete. Several hundred clerks and carriers would, too, if eligibility requirem e n t s don't bar them.

MINISTERS and penitents, race horse owners and bettors, got R big kick out of a remark by Spencer J. Drayton at the legislative hearing at Saratoga on oflP-track betting. He's an ex-FBI man, president of the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau, who well knows that horses running in one race, if they have the same owner or trainers, are coupled in the betting as a single "entry." T h e legislative committee heard ministers and TVIr. Drayton oppose any off-track betting law.

S E R V I C E L E A D E R Page T h r e e Civil Servi€e Error Leads To Unique Case Involving Conflict Over Principles ALBANY, Aug. 25 — A n u n usual case was a r g u e d i n Albany S u p r e m e C o u r t last F r i d a y .

Question: Should Mr. A's a p p o i n t m e n t be rescinded a n d Mr. B given t h e j o b ? And if t h i s is t h e case, would n o t every civil service position be jeopardized, w i t h a n employee liable t o be t h r o w n out a t a n y t i m e — even a f t e r years of service — if somebody c a m e u p o n errors d u r i n g t h e life of t h e eligible list?

T h e Specific Case T h e problem h a s arisen in t h e S t a t e Public Service Commission, with t h e case h a v i n g wide i n t e r est because of its deep i m p l i c a tions. Mr. E d w a r d L.

Reporting on a study of t u r n over among State employees, made by the University of Georgia, the Assembly says t h a t the merit syst e m in Georgia showed up well. The study was made under the direction of Dr. Henry C. Pepper, chairman, Division of Public Administration. No Security for Incompetence T h e Assembly reports: "After analyzing 19 different reasons for separations. Dr. Pepper concluded t h a t merit system s t a t u s is not a password to perm a n e n t employment. One hundred a n d seventy-two employees were dismissed for misconduct or u n satisfactory work; 36 because they were not qualified for the work; a n d 29 reductions in force were made. "In relating turnover to service ratings and length of employment, there was a close correlation between ability, and satisfactory work and length of service. Of t h e 1,044 employees for whom ratings were available, two-thirds of those leaving State employment were in t h e lower two-thirds of the rating scale. Notion Contradicted " T h e figures contradict t h e popular opinion t h a t mediocre employees remain in public service because of job security. One reason this is not true is t h a t poor employees do not advance and t h u s become dissatisfied and seek other employment." CIVIL E. B.

Voting Habits Of Federal Employees employees, so frequently the scapegoats at election time, are now being subjected to a new canard: that they will vote as a bloc for the party in power. The charge has absolutely no basis in fact; not a ipingle proof has been adduced. United State Civil Service Chairman Robert Ramjlpeck last week pointed out that in the 1948 Presidential election, one Virginia and two Maryland counties adjoining the District of Columbia gave Thomas E. Dewey an Impressive majority. The interesting thing about this vote is the fact that these three counties have the heaviest concentration of Federal em'ployees of any three counlies in the United States. Continued Mr. Raspeck: The Federal employee exlercises his judgment in voting just about the same way jus any other citizen. But will the facts offset the fraudulent whispering campaign? We doubt it. Advice: Federal employees and their organizations ( O u g h t to nail this lie a b o u t their alleged voting habits every time it rears its head. F EDERAL Living Costs At All-Time High O f direct interest to civil service employees was tJie heralded continued rise in living costs, announced last Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Living costs are at an all-time high. From June 15 to July 15, the consumer's price index rose 1.2 percentage Jpoints (about 0.6%). The older series index published by lUie Bureau went to 192.4, never before equalled. The consumers price index measures price chaniges in Sfoods and services of the kind consumed by moderate income families in larger cities. The revised index is live percent above January 1951, Und 12.1 percent above June 1950. Public employees at all levels of government have no alternative but to request pay increases to meet the liigher living costs. ! SOME OPPOSITION to having any part of Social Becurity is expressed by some public employees because of the better pension advantages of the public employee retirement systems for those in the medium and higher income brackets. But the purpose is not to substitute Bocial Security for the other, only to integrate the two, •o that the better insurance and iurvivor benefits would |)ecome applicable. ( DELAY can spell forfeiture of U. S. annual leave |K) employees should take time off, earned in 1952, before 'June 30, 1953. Prior accumulation, up to 60 days, may be used before or after June 30,1953, as preferred. The excess of leave earned prior to 1952 must be used by annual employees prior to December 20, 1952, f THE SENATE Post Office and Civil Service Commitlee reports what The LEADER has long maintained is a ifact — that awards in public employee suggestion plans lu-e far too small and should be a percentage of the toavings.

No. Tlie 60-day limit o n a c c u m u l a t i o n a t t h e e n d of t h e leave year is still in effect. O n December 21, 1952 ( t h e beginning of t h e n e x t leave y e a r ) , you c a n n o t h a v e m o r e t h a n 60 d a y s t o your credit.

I h a v e only n i n e d a y s ' a c c u m u l a t e d a n n u a l leave, a n d would like to save as m u c h as possible u n t i l m y r e t i r e m e n t J u n e 30, 1953, so a s to h a v e a little p a y m e n t to ease t h e r e d u c t i o n in i n come. Will t h e leave rider p r e v e n t my being p a i d for t h i s year's leave w h e n I r e t i r e J u n e 30? A. No. U n d e r t h e similar rider in 1950, t h e Comptroller G e n e r a l ruled t h a t t h e year's leave was not lost u n t i l J u l y 1 of t h e following year, a n d a n y o n e who l e f t t h e service J u n e 30 or earlier was e n titled t o p a y m e n t f o r all t h e a n n u a l leave h e h a d t o h i s credit. Q. I've j u s t noticed a s t a t e m e n t t h a t employees who b r o u g h t over 60 days t h e first of t h e y e a r m u s t use all t h e leave t h e y e a r n t h i s year by December 20, or lose it. My agency doesn't p e r m i t a d v a n c e use of a n n u a l leave, so how c a n I use t h e whole year's leave <19% days in m y case) unless I w a i t till t h e e n d of t h e y e a r t o ase It? M I use leave before e a r n i n g it w o n ' t I be using p a r t of m y a c c u m u l a tion? A. No. If you use only 19% d a y s t h i s year, n o m a t t e r w h a t t i m e of t h e year you use it, your leave e a r n i n g s f o r t h e year will c a u s e you t o h a v e 60 days a g a i n a t t h e e n d of t h e year, a n d you c a n c o n tinue to carry t h a t much forward. Q. I h a d 10 days' a c c u m u l a t e d a n n u a l leave J a n u a r y 1, 1952, a n d will e a r n only 13 days t h i s year. I h a d p l a n n e d to t a k e 20 days t h i s y e a r a n d t r y t o build m y a c c u m u lation back u p a little n e x t year, w h e n I will e a r n 20 days. I u n d e r s t a n d now t h a t t h e leave rider will p r e v e n t a n y f u t u r e a c c u m u l a tion, so if I use seven of m y 10 days t h i s year I c a n never build it back up. I s t h i s t r u e ? A. Any f u t u r e a c c u m u l a t i o n of a n n u a l leave will be only t e m p o r a r y f o r a s i x - m o n t h period. T h a t is, if you save seven of t h e 20 days you e a r n in 1953 you c a n c a r r y It over i n t o 1954, but you would h a v e to use it w i t h i n t h e following six m o n t h s or lose it. Q. My sister in Alaska h a s w r i t t e n a n d asked m e to f i n d o u t w h e t h e r t h e leave rider will cause h e r t o lose h e r leave. S h e says t h e r e ' s n o use using it because t h e r e ' s n o place t o go in Alaska.

Yes. T h a t was definitely d e cided u n d e r t h e 1950 leave rider* Q. I a m p l a n n i n g to t r a n s f e r overseas soon. Will my 1952 leave be excepted f r o m t h e leave r i d e r ?

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 25—A Congressman, addressing t h e 27th a n n u a l convention of t h e National f e d e r a t i o n of Post Office Clerks, told t h e assemblage t h a t i t was t h e duty of Congress to enact a m e r i t system of promotions f o r the department. " I believe," said Harold C. H a g e n of Minnesota, r a n k i n g m i n ority member of t h e House Post OfiBce a n d Civil Service Committee, •'in promotion based on merit r a t h e r t h a n as t h e result of p a y m e n t of a fee." He was t h e one who called for t h e remedial legislation. Bills seeking to achieve t h e goal have not been successful in t h e past. While he did not prophesy success f o r this measure in t h e new Congress, h e did say t h a t t h e Rhodes bill, providing for union recognition by t h e Government as a n employer, would be passed, in his opinion, by t h e new Congress.

However, t h e Postm a s t e r General is a member of t h e President's cabinet, a n d t h e postal union hs^ never gone on record in favor of denying t h e President t h e right to choose his own cabinet members. Another Congressman spoke on t h e U. S. Civil Service Retirement System, saying t h a t it was in b e t ter financial condition t h a n t h e public realized. He took issue with C h a i r m a n Robert Ramspeck of t h e U. S. Civil Service Commission, who h a s been a t t e m p t i n g to get Congressional appropriations t o finance t h e addition e x ^ n s e of incresising pittance pensions. " T h e employees have paid more into t h e f u n d t h a n it h a s paid out in pensions," said Representative G a r d n e r R. Withrow of Wisconsin. A delegation f r o m NYC was headed by Patrick J . Fitzgerald, president of t h e New York F e d e r a tion of Post Office Clerks. AN additional 85,000 U. S. employees, all working outside of t h e U. S., will come u n d e r competitive civil service if t h e Commission adopts a suggestion of t h e Defense Department. Those appointed before S e p t e m ber 1, 1950 would gain s t a t u s if they pass a non-competitive e x a m a n d a r e recommended by their superiors.

T h e plan would also e n courage t r a n s f e r of employees between domestic a n d overseas jobs. HE U. S. Senale Post Office and Civil Service Committee has started something important in recommending that the method of hiring supervisors should be improved. Technical proficiency, best work records and seniority as standards, and absence of interdepartmental promotions, are adversely criticized. Particularly does the committee object to seniority proving such a high hurdle that brilliant employees with short U. S. service records quit for jobs in private industry. Also, the committee complains that "there is no reservoir of potential supervisors." The way to establish such a reservoir is through competitive promotion exams. But the committee interposes a problem when it asks that there be objective appraisal of leadership qualities and ability to get along with people. Standard exams that do not probe for such qualities now tax examiners. But the last word has not yet been written on how far a competitive exam can provide a basis for judging the elusive abilities of candidates. , If the report does no more than stimulate an interest in having the competitive promotion exam accepted, it will have served an excellent purpose. Such an exam largely avoids the shortcomings of methods in which personal preference plays a deciding part. The committee says that a candidate unknown to the appointing officer or agent, no matter how competent, finds it difficult to get promoted, and deplores "the lack of procedural method" to determine the ability of stranger. These observations by the committee go to the rooo t * of a problem not solved with complete satisfaction in other sr 1 jurisdictions, either. The panel discusson of examining methods that The LEADER will sponsor in the fall, will be asked also to cite facts and give opinions on the best way to. fill supervisory jobs. UNDER new rules issued by t h e U.S. Civil Service Commission, loyalty forms need n o t be submitted when a federal employee is reappointed with a break in service of less t h a n one year if t h e employee's case was previously cpmpletely processed. T h i s does not apply, however, t o sensitive positions. Agencies will continue to submit for a record check a n d inquiry cases of appointees t o senpositions when t h e r e h a s T h e U, S.
