ALBANY, Nov. 30—A modified
compromise proposal for a 40h o u r work-week in S t a t e i n s t i t u tions will be b r o u g h t before t h e
employees f o r t h e i r views.
T h e p l a n is a n endeavor to deal
with one of t h e sensitive problems
in S t a t e i n s t i t u t i o n s ; a n d in t h e
course of a discussion by t h e
B o a r d of Directors of t h e Civil
Service Employees Association, it
was revealed t h a t one H e a l t h D e p a r t m e n t hospital h a d already

Vote to Try It
I n s t i t u t i o n a l r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s on
t h e B o a r d voted to ask t h a t t h e
Association t r y t o a r r a n g e t h e
necessary c h a n g e s t o place t h e
suggestion in effect.
P r e s e n t practice, t h e new p r o posal, a n d t h e problems, were
placed before t h e CSEA by J o h n
T. D e G r a l f , counsel. T h e Association h a s two resolutions on t h e
s u b j e c t : one calls f o r a reduction
of t h e 48-hour schedule to 40
h o u r s with n o reduction in p a y ;
t h e second calls f o r a v o l u n t a r y
40-hour work-week. At present, it
is compulsory to work 48 h o u r s in
institutions. P a y is based on a 40h o u r week, w i t h t h e additional 8
hours compensated for at straight
time.
T h e new proposal would allow
those employees who so wish", t o
work 40 h o u r s i n s t e a d of 48. F o r
those accepting a 40-hour s c h e d ule, a r e d u c t i o n i n p a y would be
involved.

Grievance,
T h e r e are problems in placing
t h e 40-hour week i n t o effect. As
a practical matter, the administ r a t i o n would not find it easy to
increase t h e s t a f f s in hospitals,
prisons a n d i n s t i t u t i o n s by 20 per
cent to m a k e u p f o r t h e reduction
in h o u r s from! 48 to 40. W h e n t h e
work-week was reduced, some
years ago, f r o m 54 to 48, t h e p r o cess was a g r a d u a l one, while t h e
S t a t e h i r e d additional staff.
"An idea c a m e u p , " Mr. D e Graff told t h e group, " t h a t t h e
Association m i g h t canvass t h e e m ployees on how m a n y w a n t t o
volunteer f o r t h e 48-hour w o r k week, if a choice were m a d e available. W e would t h e n know how
m a n y additional people would be
needed. T h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n would
require such i n f o r m a t i o n in order
to work out a r e c r u i t m e n t p r o gram."
If s u c h a p l a n were adopted,
volunteering would have to be on
some e x t e n d e d basis, p e r h a p s f o u r
or six m o n t h s . T h e consensus was
t h a t p e r h a p s 70 or 80 per cent of
t h e employees would, a t t h e beginning, choose to r e m a i n on t h e
48-hour schedule. I t m i g h t t a k e a
year before e n o u g h additional e m ployees could be h i r e d to t a k e u p
t h e slack.
T h e p l a n would presumably be
i n s t i t u t e d on a year's trial basis.

reasons. Fewer employees h a v «

Incentive to Pay Rise
Mr. DeGraff gave his opinio®
t h a t a v o l u n t a r y 40-hour w o r k week would be one of t h e s t r o n g est possible incentives
toward
pushing the pay upward. Moreover, those employees who wished
to c o n t i n u e working 48 h o u r s »
weelc, would be doing so u n d e r
t h e i r own f r e e will, n o t c o m p u ^

CIVIL SERVICE
NEWS
Employees
Americans there must be no weakening of the codes by
which we have lived; of the right to meet your accuser
face to face. . .
The sentiment is couched in language that 'Americans can understand and applaud; for the language represents the mainstream of American tradition.
But how far is that tradition being followed in Federal departments? Employees may be fired at will or by
whim; and in. accordance with executive orders emanating from President Eisenhower, they may be dismissed
without opportunity to face an accuser. Suspicion has
become a powerful force, and rumor a whispy but terrible
weapon. A pervasive fear clamps the tongues and tortures the hearts of many Federal employees. This was
•tartlingly evident in a panel discussion before a large
irroup of Federal personnel officers recently, in which not
a single one felt he was free to speak with dignity, or even
to defend the public employee against persistent attack.
Last week, too, speaking in a line similar to that of
the President, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
•aid this:
"We put a cloak of anonymity over a growing underfround of informers. Men are adjudged on the whispered
accusations of faceless people not known to the accused
. . . and the privacy of the home is increasingly invaded
by wiretappers. . .
Immediately after President Eisenhower's address,
James Reston of the New York Times asked a simple
question: "Does the Eisenhower Administration follow
this principle of its own security program (that an acensed man should always have the right to confront his
accuser) ?" He investigated practice in the State Department, and he found that the facts do not jibe with the
President's words.
The principle which President Eisenhower enunciated is a great one. It is a historical tragedy that it is
being lost in practices that will hardly make us more
•ecure.
We will not gain security when our Federal employees have become a corps of whimpering, apprehensive,
fearful individuals; and when the rest of us have assumed
the posture of the ostrich.

T h e NYC Civil Service Commission h a s a n o t h e r "flop" in t h e p a t r o l m a n (P.D.) e x a m f o r which
applications closed o n November

W i t h fewer t h a n 9,000 c a n d i dates, a new low, even if t h e w r i t t e n test is m a d e m u c h easier t h a n

a w k w a r d novelty. Also, t h e n e w
application period was m a d e u n usually long.
Age Reduction No Help
T h e Commission h a s to cope
with difficulties arising largely
f r o m p a y being insufficient to a t t r a c t c a n d i d a t e s . A p a t r o l m a n gets
$3,725 to Etart, a n d in t h e f o u r t h
year p a y rises $1,000 to $4,725.
T h e small response in t h e l a t e s t

t h o u g h t h e m i n i m u m application
age was reduced to 18, f r o m 20.

a t t r a c t i v e n e s s of t h e p a t r o l m a n
job h a s been d i s a p p e a r i n g for
decades, a n d is practically gone
now, largely f o r reasons of pay,
a n d t h a t NYC c a n no longer c o n t i n u e on a low-pay basis if t h e
City g o v e r n e m e n t is to f u n c t i o n
properly.
F o r t y years ago, f o r instance,
t h e p a y of a p a t r o l m a n was g r e a t er t h a n t h a t of workers in t h e

More P a y Needed All Around
T h e question of City employee
p a y in general is one of t h e p r i n cipal problems t h a t t h e new City
A d m i n i s t r a t i o n will h a v e to face,
beginning J a n u a r y 1.
P r e s e n t employees, i n all dep a r t m e n t s a n d grades, stress t h e
need of h i g h e r pay to h e l p t h e m
cope with prices. T h e City h a s
fallen so f a r b e h i n d t h e a d v a n c e s
in p a y n o t only in p r i v a t e indust r y but in o t h e r jurisdictions, t h a t
a sizeable increase will have to be
provided, employee leaders say. or
t h e large t u r n o v e r in personnel,
as shown in t h e last a n n u a l r e port of t h e Municipal Civil S e r v ice Commission, will a p p e a r aj5 i n significant by comparison. Since
increases would apply also to t h o s e
'Susie' the little

So many readers have asked to meet her, that

f o r your favorite little friend. Last Christmas,

w h o s t a r t in City employ, r e c r u i t m e n t would improve.
Proposals Advanced
To stimulate recruitment, one
proposal is t h a t t h e City be a u thorized to r e f r a i n f r o m imposing
a n application fee, when s h o r t a g e
of candidacies would otherwise be
likely.
A n o t h e r suggestion is t h a t it e n gage more energetically on r e c r u i t m e n t c a m p a i g n s t h r o u g h publicity
a n d promotion, including use of
City facilities like t r a n s i t lines, t o
advertise for candidates. A n e w
Mayor would be more likely t o
break t h e t r a d i t i o n a l opposition of
d e p a r t m e n t s a n d agencies to a d d ing in r e c r u i t m e n t f o r b r a n c h e s of

UFO A Hears Freeman
Tell of Pension Goals
The pension inequities in the
NYC Fire Department were outlined at the recent membership
meeting oi the Uniformed Fire
Officers Association, at the Hotel
Martinique, by Captain Charles
Freeman.
He deplored the fact that some
members of the Fire Department
Pension Fund have only a restricted choice of beneficiaries, and the
fact that the contributions from
salary lapse, on death, so that
even a fire chief's widow gets
a pension of only $11.53 a week.
The same situation obtains in the
Police
Department,
regarding
those policemen who entered the
service prior to 1940.
Captain Freeman reported the
eases of a deputy chief and a cap-'
tain who died on active duty. The

usual 111.53 was all that the
widows g o t Captain
Freeman
pointed out that the two officers
had contributed toward the pension fund, from salary, over a
long period, yet when they died,
these funds reverted to the City.
Under the plans affecting men
appointed after 1940, and in other
publlQ pension systems generally,
the annuity account, if not converted to yearly income, reverts
to the estate or beneficiary, and
not to the CJlty.
The limitation on choice of
beneficiaries is to wife, children
under 18, or parents. Captain
Freeman noted that the parents of
many of the members of the uniformed force, especially the older
members, are dead; in many instances, not only is that true, but
the children are past age 18, leaving only the wife as possible beneficiary. In some Instances a man
may not be living with his wife.
The intent is to keep the beneficiaries within the family, but
members seek the same freedom
of selection as others have.
United Action
The Uniformed Firemen's Association is working closely with the
Uniformed Fire Officers Association to have the pension law
amended In a manner fair both to
the merjabers and the City. T e r ence Dolan Is chairman of the
