r r ^ i m e passes, and what should have been decided
JL months ago it is not yet (as this goes to press) at the
•tage whore it can be publicly reported: "The State has
made such and such an offer on salary.**
Meanwhile the facts and figures have not made easier
the lives of public employees. The bitter drought—seeing standards of living rise in private industry while their
own standards have remained static or fallen — has not
grown sweeter to State workers while they mark time.
Nor has the continuing deterioration of their personal
pay situation made for a higher-morale, higher-efficiency
eorps of employees.
One is sometimes compelled to wonder about the evident blindness of public administrators in such matters
AS these. Just wha-t are they waiting for? You can't
deal with human beings the way you can while awaiting

ALBANY, Feb. 1 — Th« Ovll
Service Employees Associatloa has
reaffirmed its determination to
continue its battle for a 12 per
cent salary increase.
The action, t a k e n by the Association's Board of Directors, came
two days l ^ f o r e a scheduled m e e t ing—deemed to be a crucial one
— between representatives of the
Association and of th» Budget
Director. T h a t meeting was held
on Saturday, J a n u a r y 30. Association representatives brought to
the attention of t h e Budget Director t h e strength of r a n k - a n d - f i l e
insistence on t h e 12 per cent a cross-the-board pay increase. The
Association argues t h a t this is a
reasonable request.
I t may be
surmised t h a t they also interpreted the State wage stirvey, conducted by J. Earl Kelly, Director
of Classification a n d Compensation, as overwhelmingly favorable
to their case. T h a t survey, which
Dr. Hurd has insisted remain secrpt. showed large differentials in

up at all. The Budget Director's own figures last year
(again, still not publicly revealed) showed that even then
State salaries lagged nearly 7 per cent behind salaries in
private industry.
Now, just bear a moment with a few additional figures.
Surveys show that between April 1916 and October 1952,
State pay went up over-all 38.9 per cent. But by whatever government indexes you might want to choose, you'd
find that the composite of all weekly salaries for the nation (luring that period went up about 51.8 per cent!
These arc not refined figures, of course. But in their
rough form, they do demonstrate how continually the
public worker fails behind his brother in private industry
»alary-wise.
N e w Salary Structure
Of course, there are many inequities in State service.
The proposal has been made that all the underbrush be
cleared away and a new start be made, with a new
leries of grades, and with all salaries placed in their
proper slots after careful study; so that an employee
in 'State service would not be earning less than
an individual doing the same kind of work in private industry. There is much to be said for the inauguration of

ALBANY, Feb. 1. —Assemblyman T h o m a s H. Brown, of Troy,
is sponsoring bills in the Legislature to win benefits for both career civil service employees and per
diem and hourly-paid workers.
Both measures, if passed, would
take effect immediately a n d are
similar to proposals made by Mr.
Brown in the past.
Under one proposal, career civil
service workers would receive an
additional increment for each five
years of service a f t e r reaching the
maximum^ in their grade.
Tlie second bill calls for payment of the regular rates to per
diem or hourly employees for legal
holidays, or the granting of compensatory time off for all holidays.
Mr. Brown contends the additional increment bill is necessary
to "reward" the conscientious and
loyal employee for uninterrupted
service to the public.
He also ui'ges t h a t the Legislature grant per diem employees the
same holiday benefits now enjoyed
by other civil service workers.

things about our Company. Those are
the things which back up and holster

If you know insurance, you know
that no policy is better than the Company behind that policy.
If you were told that Government

that would be only part of the story.
Other things are also i m p o r t a n t — o u r
Company's financial strength ($27,000,000 in assets makes us the largest
Company specializing in automobile

our
Company's

of much importance to y o u ) ; our Company's outstanding record of growth
(an indication of how your fellow
government emplovees have responded to the caliber of our service).
We of Government Employees Insurance Company are p r o u d of our

•y P. HENRY aALPIN
Salary Research Analyst. Civil S«rvic« Employees Assoeiatioa
Economic
Forecasting
T H E SEASON for economic prophets U well under way a n d
many of the experts in t h e field of economics have been peering
Into the f u t u r e . Some of their thoughts a n d opinions are of real
•alue. Were this not so, giants of industry would not set their
production schedules, involving expenditure of millions of dollars,
on the basis of the economists' considered opinions.
We summarize these forecasts and relate them to a p a r a m o u n t
problem presently confronting all S t a t e employees—their salaries.
PROPHESIES IVL\DE IN THE PAST
Immediately a f t e r World W a r n , a great m a n y business forec««ters anticipated a downward economic a d j u s t m e n t or recession
t h a t never took place. Several factors were not properly evaluated
by those forecasters. For instance:
1. P e n t - u p demand for all kinds of goods a f t e r t h e war, partly
because of shortages t h a t h a d existed for years. Automobiles and
nylons are examples.
2. Necessity for expansion in plant capacity; business spent
unprecedented amounts for new plant a n d equipment.
3. Rapid growth in population.
4. Government spending for defense was huge.
5 Te.chnological improvements were rapid.
PRESENT PROPHECIES FOR YEARS TO COME
Now let's loolc forward.
It seems to us t h a t t h r e e of these factors will not exert as
much upward economic pressure la 1954 as they have in t h e past.
1. T h e demand for goods h a s been somewhat satiated.
2. Business will probably not continue to expand plant capacity
• t the same rate.
3. Government expenditures for defense will not be as big a
bolster to business as in the past.
On the other side of the ledger, these factors will continue to
act as a stimulus to business:
1. The population will continue to increase, thereby increasing
basic demand.
2. Technological developments will continue to be rapid and
Important.
COMMENT ON RECENT MILD DECLINE
Actually, business experienced a mild decline during the last two
months of 1953. Most of t h e recent declines have been spotty.
Industry has made " a d j u s t m e n t s " for tiiem. Industrial production
in November was about 6 per cent below its 1953 high. It would
not seem reasonable for any economic structure to be constantly
setting all-time high records, nor should we expect our system to
do so.
I n any examination of the so-called " a d j u s t m e n t s , " reference
should always be made, not only to some previous all-time high
record, but also to an absolute level. An illuslration might be helpful.
Recently, we have been hearing and reading about unemployment. I t stands at about two million. Some unemployment is u n avoidable. People do change jobs, etc. However, a level of two
million historically h a s always been considered as approximating t h e
n o r m a minimum. It is difficult to get any more excited about
t h e existence of tliat m i n i m u m now t h a n over an increase of one
t e n t h of 1 per cent in t h e cost of living. Yet both these facets
gained headlines.
HOURLY. DAILY. WEEKLY EARNINGS
Average hourly earnings may be expected to continue to Increeise during 1954. Average weekly earnings may drop slightly.
Average hourly earnings should increase or possibly remain cons t a n t . Collective'bargaining cannot be ignored in the total picture,
as some very significant labor contracts are due for revision this
year. T h e determination of business to m a i n t a i n the purchasing
power o r t h e consumer can be overlooked. No drastic fall in t h e
business cycle is anticipated, nor should we expect a n a d j u s t m e n t as
great as t h a t which took place in 1949.
Reduction in personal income taxes will increase t h e p u r c h a s ing power of the consumer. B r a d f o r d Smith of t h e United States
Steel Corporation is quoted in Business Week as saying t h a t he felt
t h a t any recession in 1954 would be mild, perhaps the mildest on
record. I n this same magazine, J o h n Dunlop of Harvard University
forecast an average hourly earning increase of 5 to 8 cents a n . hour.
GENERAL MOTORS EXPANSION PROGRAM
We cannot ignore the tremendous plant expansion program announced by General Motors. Highway building programs and t h e
current school building boom are Important factors of stimulation.

No Word of Pay Raise,
But Governor s Budget
Has Items Affecting Aides
ALBANY, Feb. 1 — T h e largest
increase in S t a t e appropriations
recommended
by
Governor
Tliomas E. Dewey in his a n n u a l
message to the Legislature, is for
the Department of Mental H y giene. New facilities, expansion of
existing facilities, increased staffs
to cope with increased institution
population, and new employees,
account for t h e increase, equallying $3,000,000.
On t h e whole, however, t h e
S t a t e expense budget, as s u b m i t t ed, is about the same as for t h e
1953-54 fiscal year, but f u n d s for
a statutory pay increase, and special purposes would be additional.
T h e general raise will be' covered in a special message.
The
Governor said: "Except in extreme
a n d unusual cases, I a m not recommending a d j u s t m e n t s in n o n statutory salaries until the c u r rent study of salary inequities h a s
been completed by the Civil S e r vice Department and Its recommendations have been studied."
From the Message
T h e following are excerpts f r o m
the Governor's message of particular interest to S t a t e employees:
Mental Hygiene—"I a m recommending an appropriation of
$164,000 to provide, during t h e
coming fiscal year, for additional
psychiatric personnel to undertake
a more thorough screening of p a tients for release. More patients
may well be released through this
procedure."
Retirement System—"The second largest single recommended
increase is t h a t of $2.7 million in
t h e State's appropriation to t h e
S t a t e Retirement System . . . This
is due primarily to an increase In
membership in t h e system, to
higher salaries and to t h e 55-year
retirement plan."
Health—"The most significant
increase in t h e recommended budget for t h e department is t h a t of
$1.9 million for t h e Roswell P a r k
Memorial Institute in Buffalo, t h e
S t a t e cancer hospital, which will
more t h a n double its 1953-54 a p propriation. With this increased
appropriation, the Institute will
be able to provide facilities for
specialized research unsurpassed
anywhere in t h e country."
Correction—"For t h e D e p a r t ment of Correction and the operation of its 16 institutions, the
recommended appropriation for
the 1954-55 fiscal year is approximately $250,000 more t h a n for the
current year. This is an increase
of about 1 per cent .while t h e i n stitutional population is expected
io increase by approximately 1.4
per cent over this year's total."
S t a t e Police—"My recommended
appropriation for t h e Division of
State Police is $7.1 million, a n i n crease of $324,000 over t h e current
year's
appropriation.
This Is
necessary to provide a full year's
requirement for t h e expanded
force which is being built u p to
t h e new full strength of 1,200 men
during t h e current year."
Taxation and Finance—"I have
recommended t h a t a substantial
increase in t h e amount appropriated for t h e Divisions of Taxation
and Treasury in order to provide
essential additional positions for
administration and enforcement
of t h e tax laws and for improvem e n t in the present collection
system."
Emergency Pay — " T h e present
emergency compensation for S t a t e
employees can be continued in
1954-55 with a n appropriation of
$31 million compared with $33.2
million in 1953-54. Last year's deficiency appropriation of $1.2
million Is not required; f u n d s for
t h e current year have proved
more t h a n adequate."
Capital Construction—"With our
mental hygiene institution popu-
lation growing a t a r a t e of 3,00®
a year and our buildings already
overcrowded, we cannot put oft
until tomorrow construction t h a t
is needed now. With t h e volume of
t r a f f i c on our highways growing
every year, construction of n e ^
roads cannot wait.
These new
pressures make it imperative t h a t
we provide in this budget f u n d s
sufficient t« keep u p with this
year's needs, and, if possible, to
make some headway In reducing
the backlog which accumulated
under my predecessors. It is for
these reasons t h a t I felt compelled to recommend a bond issue for
construction of facilities for t h e
mentally ill. T h e bill which h a s
been submitted to you authorized
t h e creation of S t a t e debt of $350
million, subject to t h e approval of
the people of the State a t next
November's election. The proceeds
of t h e bonds are to be used f o r
the construction.
Improvement
and equipping of Mental Hygiene,
Correction and Social Welfare Dep a r t m e n t facilities for t h e care of
persons suffering f r o m mental illness, mental defects, or other
mental disorders."
I t was Mr. Dewey's twelfth b u d get as Governor.
40-Hour Bill
Warwick Man Introduced;
Wins Award No Pay Cut
ALBANY, Feb. 1 — Governor
Dewey presented the a n n u a l State
Employee's Achievement Award to
Elmer Cummings, a house f a t h e r
at the New York S t a t e Training
School for Boys at Warwick, in
recognition of outstanding service
by a physically-handicapped employee of the State.
Mr. Cummings, 61, h a s been e m ployed in t h e Social Welfare Dep a r t m e n t at t h e Warwick T r a i n ing School since 1951.
He is a disabled veteran of
World War I in which he lost his
right arm. With his wife, Beatrice
Cummings, who works with him
as house mother in one of the
cottages at Warwick. Mr. Cummings provides parental counsel to
32 boys who have been committed
to U.e care of t h e State.
ALBANY, Ptsb. 1—Two upstat®
Republican lawmakers have t e a m ed up to ask the Legislature to
appropriate $15 million to permit
working hours to be cut in S t a t e
institutions without a reduction l a
pay.
T h e proposal to back up, with
cash, t h e campaign of the Civil
Service p]mployees Association o a
behalf of the State's institutioa
workers was made by Senator
Fred J. R a t h , Utlca, a n d Assemblyman J a m e s Fitzpatrick, P l a t t s burgh.
Both Mr. R a t h and Mr. Fitsspatrick
represent
districts
in
which State institutions are located.
T h e Association has launched a
statewide campaign to reduce t h e
work week in institutions from 48
to 40 hours. Employees would continue, however, to draw t h e same
pay, constituting a 20 i>er cent
pay hike, if approved.

To State Jobs
In 1953
ALBANY, Feb. 1. — T h e State
Civil Service D e p a r t m e n t held
2.408 exams In 1953, breaking the
1952 record by more t h a n 20 per
cent. There were nearly 80,000
applicants, t h e largest number
since 1949.
In 1952 1,954 exams were held
•with 64,462 applicants.
T h e d e p a r t m e n t continued to
pick up speed in its rating of
exams. Rating of exams for State
positions was completed during
1953 on an average of 57 days
a f t e r the test was held. Two years
before, most S t a t e exams required
more t h a n 90 days to complete;
and prior to 1948, t h e average was
well over six months.
709 State Tests
There were 709 exams for jobs
In State service. The rest were for
local units of government, such as
cities, counties and school districts. T h e Civil Service D e p a r t m e n t is now doing about 85 per
cent of t h e examinations work of
local jurisdictions in t h e State,
outside of NYC.
The Appointments
The department reports 10,572
p e r m a n e n t appointments to competitive jobs in State service. This
was slightly less t h a n the 11,090
p e r m a n e n t appointments of t h e
previous year, which h a d set a
record.
These appointments included
1,943 p e r m a n e n t promotions of
S t a t e employees in t h e competitive class in 1953, an increase over
t h e 1,675 promotions in 1952. The
department's annual statistical report on employees, dated October,
1953, shows 54,362 State employees
in the competitive class.

ALBANY .Feb. 1—Assemblyman
Daniel M. Kelly, M a n h a t t a n Democrat, wants the names, addresses,
salaries and duties of every legislative employee now covered by
lump sum appropriations, made
public.
Mr. Kelly, with very few cheers
from either side of t h e aisle, has
introduced a resolution to open up
present payrolls. His resolution
would affect minority as well as
t h e majority party appointees.
At present. Mr. Kelly contends,
t h e public h a s no information on
t h e number of employees or the
type of jobs covered by $1,039,100
in lump sum appropriations for

1953-54 budget.
Question,
Please
WHAT IS the time limit on
claims for veteran preference u n der State and local regvilations?
C.E.E.
Answer — On lists established
a f t e r J a n u a r y 1, 1951, t h e additional credits are granted only a t
t h e time of the establishment of
t h e eligible list and may not, u n der any circumstances, be granted
a f t e r t h e list is established. Claims
for the additional credit may be
m a d e at the time of filing application for examination, or a t any
time up to t h e date of t h e establishment of t h e resulting eligible
list. A candidate will be allowed
not less t h a n three months f r o m
t h e last date for filing application
for the examination in which to
establish by appropriate docum e n t a r y evidence his eligibility for
additional credits. To receive additional credits as a non-disabled
veteran in addition to such other
requirements for employment in
t h e civil service as may be prescribed by law, an applicant must
prove several facts, including service in time of war. It is a "war"
veteran preference strictly.

The Pay Window
(Continued from Page 3)
Business in 1954 will be down slightly from its tremendous 195S
pace. Business will compare favorably with the 1950-52 period. If
you sub.scribe to an expanding economy theory, you may expect t h e
years immediately ahead to surpass 1953, barring catastrophic eventa.
You may ask. " W h a t does this have to do with State salaries*,
A lot.
For some time now, the State Administration h a s been studying
the problem of "inequities'' in the State structure. F r o m t h e viewpoint of economics now is the logical time to merge emergency c o m pensation into basic pay scales. W h a t we have actually forecast
above is a stable period. W h a t better time could the Administration pick for such a move?
TIME T O FREEZE EMERGENCY PAY
S t a t e employees now have b e t t e r t h a n 17 per cent of their pay
in the form of so-called emergency compensation. There is n «
emergency.
For the Administration to think in terms of a substantial recession is, to us, unrealistic. To deny a freeze-in of all emergency
compensation of State salaries this year could be interpreted as a
forecast by the Administration of a very substantial economic recession, a lack of confidence in t h e strength of our economy to even
maintain its present level in the foreseeable f u t u r e , and a belief
t h a t our economy is in for a big drop.
W h a t of the wage level in general? T h e findings of t h a t part
of the S t a t e survey which h a s now been m a d e public d e m o n s t r a t e
clearly t h a t State salaries are f a r behind those in private employment. To m a i n t a i n the existing wage level in S t a t e employment
t h a t would carry through until April, 1955 would place t h e S t a t e a t
still an even greater competitive disadvantage in obtaining high
quality public servants.

legislative committee of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association
a n d the Uniformed Firemen's Association has Introduced in the
S t a t e Senate and Assembly bills
to increase widows' pensions f r o m
$600 a year to 30 per cent of salary. The present $11.53 a week,
received under Article I (firemen
in d e p a r t m e n t prior to 1940), is
outlandish, the committee said.
I'I'OA Circularizes Members
T h e two organizations sent a p peals to their members to give
a n d obtain all possible support for
t h e bills. Here's w h a t Gilbert X.
Byrne, UFOA president, sent to
members of his organization:
"Dear Brother:
"If $11.53 a week is enough to
leave your wife a n d childrefi, t h e n
throw this letter and cards away.
"We have a fighting chance to
raise our widows' $50 a m o n t h to
30 per cent of final salary. Legislation has been introduced in Albany and the issue is being given
a real push here in t h e City by
the UFA and UFOA. We need your
help!
"For almost one-quarter of a
century tlie widows of firefighters
have been getting $50 a month.
Widows received $50 when no pension contributions were made.
Years ago a dollar was worth a
dollar and not fifty cents. Today
members are pouring millions of
dollars into pension contributions.
"Article I lacks practically all
of the rights and privileges existing in otiier pension systems. Article 1 maintains no reserve, permits no loans, pays no interest,
limits final retirement pension but
demands contributions to the end
of service and only pays a widow
$50 a month no m a t t e r what rank,
no matter how long in service, no
m a t t e r how many thousands of
dollars of equity built up by t h e
member.

Joint Committee's Top Objective
The principal oojective of t h e
joint legislative committee of t h e
Uniformed Firemen's Association
a n d t h e Uniformed Fire Officers
Association is a n increase in pensions for widows of NYC firefighters.
Terence P. Dolan, c h a i r m a n of
the committee, and Lieutenant
Charles Hale, secretary, s u m m a r ized t h e committee's a r g u m e n t on
beliaff of a bill to increase widows'
pensions:
"The current allowance of $600
to widows of deceased members
of t h e uniformed force of the Fire
Department was set more t h a n 30
years ago, when t h e base pay of
firefighters in NYC was $2,000 a
year. At t h a t time such an a m o u n t
was equivalent to 30 per cent of
pay, which was considered a n adequate pension.
"The present bill seeks to amend
the antiquated widows' compensa-
tion, so as to approximate a more
realistic financial benefit.
"If 30 per cent was a w a r r a n t e d
widows' pension 30 years ago, how
much more necessary Is t h a t figure today? As it is, t h e widow's
pension h a s s h r u n k f r o m 30 per
cent to t h e present 13 per cent of
a fireman's salary.
"At present t h e NYC firemen,
through a system of matrons' fees,
are subsidizing t h e NYC pension
system by paying out $700,000
f r o m their own pockets to widows
of deceased members."
Companion bills have been i n troduced by Senator Julius A.
Archibald (D., M a n h a t t a n ) a n d
Assemblyman Mary A. Gillen (D.,
Brooklyn), to increase t h e $600-ayear widow's pension to 30 per
cent of t h e husband's pay. Only
t h e widows of those under Article
I of t h e Fire Pension F u n d would
benefit.

ago it required a t a x levy of almost seven million dollars; t h e
proposed 1954-1955 budget only

million dollars.
"Fight for your equity, fight for
your family, go out and buy a
dozen post cards. Get all t h e Article I firemen in your company
to buy cards. Make copies of t h e
enclosed one. Have wives, mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers
and
friends sign and mail cards.
"The cards must be sent immediately. If t h e legislation in
Albany is not cleared up in t h e

the subject up for another year.

letter said.
T h e letter in full reads as f o l lows:
" I n t h e unfinished business
which you have inherited as
Mayor, may we call your a t t e n tion to one item whose importance
is in danger of being overlooked
as a factor in t h e success of your
administration. This is t h e socalled 'Employees Security Questionnaire' prepared some time ago
by the Municipal Civ^l Service
Commission.
"We are pleased to know t h a t
the questionnaire is being r e studied. It would be even better
if it were simply discarded in
favor of a new approach to t h e
subject. I n its original form, it
was so plainly designed to strike
terror into aii City employees t h a t
a more appropriate title for it
would have been 'Employees I n security Questionnaire.'
" T h e recent report of the M a y or's Committee on M a n a g e m e n t
Survey states t h a t
'personnel
m a n a g e m e n t is one of the Mayor's
m a j o r responsibilities' a n d t h a t a
personnel program must be d e veloped which will 'build morale
and develop a genuine career system in which the City will go o u t side a n d capture its share of t h e
best talent of t h e rising generation.'
" T h e City will surely not get t h e
best work out of its employees or
capture its share of the 'best t a l ent of t h e rising generation' if it
creates a climate of fear, suspicion a n d resentment. We believe
t h a t dragnet loyalty probes are destructive of integrity a n d morale.
"We are sure t h a t ways can be
found to carry out the purpose of
the S t a t e Security Risk Law which
will preserve t h e self-respect a n d
morale of t h e civil service. A note
of common sense and moderation
on this subject is much needed.
You will render a public service
by sounding it."*

a new, logical wage plan. But there is more to be said
for such a plan if it assures ample dollars in the pocket
of every employee. We need a streamlined salary structure; but even more, the little employee needs to knowthat as of April 1 he will find enough additional money
in his pay check so that he will have a sense of
security and proper treatment that he does not now hav*.
An Answer lo the Budget Director
It may be that the Budget Director will argue he has
only so many millions to give to a pay increase, whatever
form that increase may take.
There is a tough answer: proper salaries ought to constitute a first lien upon the moneys of the State. And one
must not overlook the tremendous losses which employees
have taken in past years by virtue of being underpaid.
They were in effect helping to subsidize the State government.
