Federal Scene
SOON THE U. S. Civil Service Commission will have to do
thing to malce "indefinite" employees feel that they are an important
part of the Federal Government. As it is, they're out on a limb, not
knowing where they stand, or possibly knowing that they don't stand
anywhere in particular at present. The Commission wants to complete
its job-turnover program before dealing with the "indefinites,"
In a recent speech in St. Louis, V. S. Civil Service Commissioner
George M. Moore said: "One result could be the possible conversion
of over 200,000 indefinites to probational or permanent appointments,
provided they have passed a competitive examination and were, when
appointed, within reach on civil service registers in accordance with
the Veteran Preference Act. This action would not add in any way t«
Federal employment totals, nor afTect future reductions in force.**
THE ONXY agency to which Congress experimentally granted
the right of unconditional firing—the Foreign Operations Administration, headed by Harold Stassen—hasn't convinced two Congressional
committees that the a-uthority should be continued in the FOA, or
extended to other agencies. The grant even bypasses the Vetenui
Preference Law. Employee and veteran groups would be relieved im

I n t h e August Issue of t h e "Survey of C u r r e n t Business," a m o n t h ly publication of t h e Office of Business Economics, U.S. l 3 e p a r t m e n t
of Commerce, t h e r e is included a n analysis of income p a y m e n t s
to individuals by States, which includes some i n t e r e s t i n g d a t a r e l a tive to per ci^Jita income. F o r t h e c o u n t r y as a whole, per c a p i t a

1951, Generally speaking, regional c h a n g e s in per c a p i t a income
paralleled those of n a t u r a l income. Except in a limited n u m b e r of
cases, t h e differences by States, a n d t h e r a t e of c h a n g e per c a p i t a
income, were relatively small.
While t h e r e is interesting i n f o r m a t i o n relative to t o t a l income
p a y m e n t s to individuals for various S t a t e s , it is felt t h a t income
p a y m e n t s a r e comsiderably m o r e significant for our i m m e d i a t e p u r poses, since New S t a t e is t h e mo.st populous S t a t e i n ' t h e union, a n d
t h e r e f o r e total income p a y m e n t would not reflect t h e S t a t e ' s economic
s t a n d i n g f r o m viewpoint of living s t a n d a r d s by various areas, as well
as per c a p i t a income.
The Lucky Thirteen
T h e r e are 13 S t a t e s who^e per c a p i t a income in 1952 exceeded
$1,800. New York r a n k s f o u r t h in t h e n a t i o n in per capita income.
It is exceeded only by Connecticut, Delaware, a n d Nevada. California
does n o t lag f a r b e h i n d New York, with a per capita income of
$2,032 as against New York's $2,260. New Jersey h a s a per c a p i t a
Income of $1,959.
T o m e a s u r e t h e adequacy of a pay scale is needed a highly c o m plex m a t t e r a n d requires consideration of m a n y factors. No one
figure or set of figures will provide t h e answer.
O n e of t h e f a c t o r s is t h e consideration of a n y pay a d j u s t m e n t
or relative wage level is t h e "ability to pay." W i t h a n average income
of $2,038, based on ev*ry m a n , w o m a n a n d child who works lawfully,
it follows t h a t t h e ability to pay for a d e q u a t e high quality governm e n t a l service should be relatively high. I n g o v e r n m e n t service, t h e
ability to pay is reflected in t h e t a x s t r u c t u r e .
Equality in Stale Employees
T h e r e is a f u r t h e r corollary. Since t h e s t a n d a r d of living as
reflccled by the per capita income in the S t a t e of New York is t h e
highest in t h e nation, a n d since S t a t e employees are d e p e n d e n t on

S t a t e employees should be on a n equal plane f r o m viewpoint of
per c a p i t a income per S t a t e worker with their employer, which is.
In t h e last analysis, t h e t a x p a y e r .
While i^alaries of S t a t e employees are relatively high compared
to tiiose in o t h e r States, it is generally conceded t h a t both t h e F e d eral G o v e r n m e n t a n d California a r e t.he p a c e m a k e r s . Yes, per c a p i t a

Democracy in Action
In an Employee Croup
T
racy in action.
The nominating committee proposed a slate. Independent nominations are authorized by the constitution
and by-lav^s. The committee did not rest on the assumption that every member of the Association knew that.
It publicized and emphasized the right of nomination by
petition, in fact, almost seemed to encourage it, if there
were any popular ideas on nominees contrary to those
held by the committee. Two nominations have been made
independently.
For each officer post the committee named at least
two candidates, as required by the constitution and bylaws. The Association is now considering a proposed
amendment to permit the committee, in the future, to
make substitution for a candidate who withdraws, to
insure competition for every office,
j
Roots of Democracy
'
The committee no doubt realizes, as aTl must who
etudy the operations of organized groups, that competition
for office is a sure sign of members' interest and even enthusiasm, and to a degree portends the future of a group.
To vie for office is not only stimulating to the candidates,
but creates an added interest among the membership.
'And if the competition is on a high level, without acrimony, and with one side respecting' the other not less,
but more, because of the competition, as in the CSEA,
then the purposes of democracy are well served. Not
only in government itself must the democratic principle
be enshrined, but in every walk of life, in every undertaking, and on every occasion. Unless the ingredients
©f the democratic compound are in our everyday life, we
can not have or deserve real democracy. The blesaing
must stem from the people upward, and can not merely
be filtered by the government downward.
Thanks for Thanks^
And Pardon

T
-MIE IJEADER is deeply grateful to the Police Conference and the Association of Fire Fighters, both
•tatewide groups, for commending us for valuable service
and help to public employees. Gratitude is easier to take
than to earm We hope our efforts for public employees
have been all that we intended. Perhaps we can best
implement our sense of gratitude by resolving to do an
tven bigger and better job for public employees.
Much remains to be done by and for public .employees. They do not have the full freedom of action
nor recourse to urgent means enjoyed by employees in
private industry, neither ease of approach nor established
methods for redress of grievances, nor moderti labor relations generally. This lag behind employees of private
Industry is regrettable, but not beyond remedy.
One of The LEADER'S resolves for the future is to
light for the establishment of standard grievance "n^aehinery," which in private industry has proved valuable
Jboth to employer and employee.

Question, Please

t h e b o t t o m of G r a d e 2, and the
top of G r a d e 2 Is $200 higher than
the bottom of G r a d e 3.
W H A T I S MEANT by " o b j e c tivity" In weighing answers In a
civil service e x a m ? J.J.O'R.
Answer—Objectivity m e a n s a r e liable s t a n d a r d of j u d g m e n t of t h e
correctness or incorrectness of t h e
answer. T h e test for objectivity is
t h a t qualified per«^ns of equal
Intellectual, educational a n d experience s t a n d i n g would arrive a t
•ubstantlally the same Judgment.
WHEN an oral exam la held,
Isn't It possible for the examiner
to render judgments based on his
personal opinion? C. K.
Answer—Yas. That is also true
• f any other form of exam, in more
®r less degree. An oral exam can
•erve purposes which no other
type of test can equal, for In•tance, in regard to manner, appearance, pronunciation, and the
like. Important In tests for jobs In
which the appointee has to deal
directly with the public, or with
froups.
D O E S ONE'S conditional a d m i s sion to a n e x a m signify t h a t t h e
Civil Service Commission h a s d e cided h e meets t h e m i n i m u m experience a n d t r a i n i n g
requirements?
C.E.P.
Answer — No. H m e a n s t h a t ,
t h o u g h t h e r e m a y be some doubt
a b o u t meeting t h e r e q u i r e m e n t s ,
t h e c a n d i d a t e is not excluded f r o m

proves h e meets t h e requirements,
his p a p e r is r a t e d . If t h e experience interview, held a f t e r t h e

or education, h e m a y be disqualified or given lesis t h a n a passing
r a t i n g for experience.
ence applications. The submission
of supplementary experience statements must be made in person
within a period of ten daj^ following the date upon which the
Commission transmitted the notice
of failure to meet the minimum
requirements of an examination
to the candidate. Any correction
of the eligible list based upon the
acceptance of such supplementary
experience statement shall
be
made without prejudice to the
status of any person previously
appointed as a result of the examination. To be satisfactory, the
experience prescribed. In addition
to covering the period fixed hereinafter, miist also be of »uch a
nature and quality as to warrant
the Inference that the candidate Is
fit to perform the duties of tbt
position. The Initial Mperlence
rating, therefore, is not necessarily
final, If InyestlgaUon or Inquiry
discloses that the candidate's e x perience Is not of the nature or
quality desired, then he may be
either rerated or failed in experience. Mere 'admission to the examination In any test thereof is
not conclusive on the CommissioQ
as to the «ualificaUons td aay
candidate.
D m ANT ONE lose annual leave
under the new U. 8. law, because
of failure to use, by June 30, 1953.
leave earned in 1952? C.L.K
Answer — No. But the new law
restricts future acciunulations oi
annual leave to 30 days. Tliose
who carried more than SO days
into 1953 may carry that excess
until it is used, or paid as terminal
leave. Acctunxilatlons of more than
30 days can not be further tecreased, nor any accumulations
newly brought beyond M days,
therefore those who carried 80
days or more into 1953 must vse
all leave earned during 1053 by
December 31. 1953 or It wiH be
lost. Those retiring after August
31, 1953. who carried more t h a n
30 days' annual leave into the year
in which separation occurs, can
not be paid terminal leave for any
leave earned d\u-lng that year, but
they must use their leave earned
for that year up to separation date
before they retire, or it wUH be
lost. Employees In the Oeneral
Accounting Offlce must bring their
annual leave accumulations down
to the new SO-day maxlmnm by
June 30. 1951, by departmental
ruling, and the U. S. Civfl Service
Commission makes its own employees with accumulations «rcr
30 days use six days more than
they earn each year, beglnntng
with January 1. 1954. t e reduce
accumulation to 30 days ever a
period of years. There Is, however. a growing tendency to provide a 10-year period for exhaustion of earned leave tai exoeas of
30 da3rs. and even the OAO saay
eventually go along with this Idea.

F i n a l s t a n d i n g on' t h e clerk eligible list is d e t e r m i n e d entirely by
the score on t h e written test which
Is expected to be held some day
d u r i n g C h r i s t m a s week, probably
S a t u r d a y , December 26.
Opportunity of appointment for
ellgibles has soared as a result of
the unusually small response. At
the close of business last Friday,
the Commission had received only
4,444 applications. TheVe still remain several days — until 4 P.M.
Thursday, September 24 — for
prospective clerks to apply. Those
who will file before then, as well
as persons from whom applications have already been received,
may consider their prospects of
City employment as excellent. If
they pass the test.
Last Thursday the Board of Estimate approved promotion of 694
clerks, including 448 to grade 3. at
$3,386 a year to start, and 246 to
grade 4. $4,016 to start. Promotion
of these clerical employees creates
new vacancies in the lower clerk
tlUe.
Present U s t Spent
ITxe present eligible list is practically exhausted. It is expected
that provisional employees — persons who have passed no civil
service exam before their appointment — may have to be hired
temporarily until a new list Ir.
readied. But Jobs held by provisionals are considered as vacancies and. according to law, must
be filled by eligibles. As soon as
the new list is established, provisionals In clerk Jobs will have
to give way to eligibles, unless they
themselves become eligibles. Present provisionals should apply in
the current test as their only
means
ef
gaining
permanent
status.
The smaD number of applicants
thus far contrasts sharply with reaponse the last time. Applications
were received in November, 1949,
and 34,056 persons applied. The
