Dewey, In a special message to the
Legislature dealing with State employees, asked t h a t emergency
compensation be made a part of

This is one of the legislative aimts
of the Civil Service Employees Association.
General Raise Not Included
The Governor also favored rectification of inequities in State
pay, in regard to particular jobs
and titles, with actual proposals
to be made after the State's own
salary survey is completed. , He
did not, however, recommend a
general pay increase for State em-
ployees, an omission that disai>«

J o h n F. Powers, president of t h e
Association, said the first pressing
need of employees was for a general pay raise, but t h a t the Governor's proposal did nothing to
alleviate their plight. He said t h e
Governor 'failed to take into a c count

Immunity,

ALBANY, Feb 8 - A former OgdCTisburg City Court judge h a s
been held ineligible for a $750-ayear pension by the S t a t e Retirem e n t Division on the grounds he
declined to sign a waiver of i m m u n i t y and testify before a Special G r a n d Jury gambling investigation in St. Lawrence County
in 1952.
Former Judge J o h n H. Wells
would have been entitled to a
pension, it was disclosed here, if
his refusal h a d not constituted a
"discontinuance" of his ofilce as
Judge.
Under t h e S t a t e Constitution
a n d Public Officers Law, a public
official cannot refuse to waive
immunity and testify before a
G r a n d Jury. To do so can cause
forfeiture of liis office, plus ineligibility to hold public office for
five years, if an action toward t h a t
end is sustained.

F r a n k J. Pino of Brooklyn last

would give to members of H.I.P.
of Crreater New York the right of

In connection with the introduction of the bills. Assemblyman
Pino made the following statem e n t : "A law to permit NYC employees who are members of the
Health Insurance Plan of Greater
New York to choose their own
physicians; and a measure to permit all City employees free choice
of a health plan are long overdue.
It is a cause of common complaints among City employees who
are members of the H.I.P. plan
t h a t very often they are dissatisfied with t r e a t m e n t furnished

are compelled to go for medical
assistance. Where is ample evidence t h a t compelling a patient to

confidence is unsound, detrimental
to the recovery of t h e health of

H I P argues t h a t the real intent
of the bills is to kill t h e Health
Insurance Plan, to which most
NYC employees belong.

approved a resolution to support
the original plans made by delegates last October concerning t h e
need for a salary a d j u s t m e n t for
State employees. A telegram was
sent to the Civil Service Employees
Association salary committee as a
result of the motion. The resolution stressed the need for an a d justment and was supported by
facts which show t h a t the salaries
of S t a t e employees are behind by
12 per cent.
Repreesntatives of ten institutional chapters were active in
discussing plans for favorable action on the 40-hour bill. A large
percentage of members in the
Southern Conference area are
employed in S t a t e Institutions a n d
work 48 hours a week. A storm of
criticism was aimed a t the violation of the "equal pay for equal

NOTICE
To Those Who Have Just Taken the Written Test For

If you correctly answered at least 104 of the 149 questions asked
in the oflicial written examination, you are sure to have passed
and should

EXAMINATION
for
That
the
Lies
Ahead!
Remember that the Physical Test has EXACTLY THE SAME
IMPORTANCE as the Written Test in determining your FINAL
MARK.
CONSIDER THIS EXAMPLE
If 2 Candidates, "A" and "B," each received a mork of 70%
in the written test, and "A" Receives Only 70% in the Physical
Test whereas "B" Receives 90% in It, THE FINAL MARK
FOR "A" WILL BE ONLY 70% WHILE "B" WILL HAVE 80%.
This Difference of 10% in the Final Marks Can Mean a D i f ference of Between 1,000 and 2.000 Places on the Eligible U s t
and Consequently a Delay of a Year or More in Being Reached
for Appointment!
T h e average applicant without a great deal of specialized
training cannot make a mark of 80% in the physical test, which
involves 6 very difficult feats of strength and agility. Consequently if you have passed the written exam, you should begin to train at once for the physical.
Our gymnasium is open daily from 11 A.M. to 9 P.M.,
Sat. 10 AM. to 4 P.M. and you may attend at any hour to
suit your convenience.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Of the many men who filed applications, some may have
passed the written test without having been medically examined. However, no applicant should start physical training
until he has been medically examined.

105 Right Answers Needed
To Pass Police Written Test
Half of Candidates to Fail
By H. J. BERNARD
Since the pass mark In the NYC
patrolman (P. D.) written test is
70 per cent, and there were 149
questions, candidates will be required to get 105 of them right, to
pass. Veterans cannot add points
to a t t a i n the pass mark, because
such points are credited only to
those veterans who get 70 per cent
or more. The points are 10 for disabled war veterans, 5 for non-disabled.
5,300 Expected to Pass
The exam, held Saturday, J a n u ary 30, was in two parts. The 105
requirement assumes t h a t both
p a r t s will be given equal weight.
There is a possibility, however,
t h a t P a r t II may be weighted a
little bit higher t h a n P a r t I, to
produce a larger number of eligibles, as a sampling of 400 papers
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission showed 40 per cent
passing, and candidates doing better on P a r t I I t h a n In P a r t I.
Finally, 50 per cent are expected
to pass the written, or almost 5,300.
In general. P a r t I dealt with
knowledge of facts. P a r t II with
judgment, word comparisons or
meanings, spelling, arithmetic and
]aw.
There were 150 questions originally, and the tentative key a n swers to them were published in
last week's LEADER, but the Commission subsequently struck out
Question 104.
T h e key answers for the 149
questions are likely to remain u n changed in the final key. While all
t h e tentative answers were correct
In Part I, one or two In P a r t n
Actual Pass M a r k
In Police Test
70.4697 Per Cent
In eliminating one question
f r o m t h e 150 in the NYC patrolm a n written test, the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, if it
weights P a r t s I a n d I I equally,
will consider each question as
having a value of .67114 per cent.
T h a t requires 105 correct answers,
to attain the pass mark, for the
following reasons:
1. Exact 70 per cent cannot be
obtained, since it would require
r e t t i n g 104.3 questions right, and
tiiere are no fractional questions.
2. It would not do to get 104
questions right, as t h a t would
produce 69.79856, which is less
t h a n t h e pass mark.
Formerly
t h e Commission would consider
anything above 69 but below 70
as being the substantial equivalent of 70, and pass a candidate,
but this practice h a s been f o r m ally abandoned.
Also, a recent
court case makes it dangerous to
attempt to apply a pass m a r k less
t h a n t h e actual advertised one,
and even holds t h e pass m a r k
must be stated in advance of t h e
exam, or the exam is unconstitutional.
Practical Result
The actual score of a candidate
r e t t i n g 105 answers right is 70.4697.
This is substantial compliance with the announced pass
mark, because less t h a n 70 per
cent is illegal, and a minor f r a c tional percentage point in excess
of 70 is legal. Attainment of exactly 70 per cent is Impossible.
Tlie law never requires the Impossible.
Response
Contpared
in

Vitifh
were wrong, in the sense a most
nearly correct answer was not requested, hence a correct answer required.
The Stretching Operation
However, the Commission wovild
count these correct on the theory
no candidate is h a r m e d thereby,
the definitions are close enough
for an exam not given to lawyers
only, and the other optional definitions offered in the two questions are so f a r removed f r o m the
correct answer, t h a t a technical
inaccuracy in the question is immaterial.
About the same would be true of
the inadequate definition of " p e n ology" as " t h e science of the p u n ishment of crime," except t h a t the
definition given is only inadequate,
r a t h e r t h a n wrong.
69 and Fraction Out
T h e pass m a r k of 70 will stand
for t h e written test a n d also the
physical test, the only other competitive one. Last time the pass
m a r k in the written test was lowered to produce more eligibles.
This time it won't be necessary,
and besides was m a d e 70 per cent
absolutely, a n d so stated on the
exam paper, hence can't be lowered. Actually 70.4697 per cent is
the effective' pass mark, derived
from 105 correct answers.
The written and physical scores
count equally and will be averaged
to produce the final percentage,
but anybody getting less t h a n 70
per cent in the written is out of
the exam.
Probable Schedule
Because the Commission produced a smooth exam this time,
the rating of the papers will proceed rapidly. Failure notices will
be sent out probably by April 1.
Tliose who pass will be called by
Paul M. Brennan, director of the
physical-medical bureau, to t h e
medical test; those who pass the
medical, or are only conditionally
rejected, will be notified to appear
at t h e physical. Conditional rejection is for some remediable defect
or ailment, which must be removed before t h e candidate can
be eligible for appointment, even
if he passes the physical.
T h e patrolman medicals are expected to begin about J u n e 15 and
last until July 23. T h e physicals
would start about July 25 and
last until Labor Day.
ANALYSIS OF
QUESTIONS
The examination consisted of
P a r t I, 75 correct-wrong type
questions (choose one of two optional answers given), a n d P a r t
n . 74 multiple choice questions
(choose one out of four to eight
given, including three on m a t c h ing or mismatching). From P a r t
n Question 104 was stricken out.

Part I
All t h e tentative answers given
by t h e Commis.sion in P a r t I are
correct. Notes on some of t h e m

candidates follow:
1. Tlve President of the Council,
not the Deputy Mayor, becomes
Mayor.
23. T h e Childi-un's Court is a
branch of the Domestic Relations
Court, not of t h e Magistrates
Court.
28. A wife cannot be compelled

to testify against her husband, but
is not absolutely forbidden from
doing so.
32. A suspended sentence is
given on conviction, or plea of
guilty, and is not a certificate of
Innocence a t all.
34. The s a f e t y - a n d - h e a l t h power
of government is known as the
police power, not as the right of
eminent domain, which means
authority to acquire property for
a public purpose, t h e owner being
compensated.
36. A corporation is subject to
many criminal laws, for violation
of which it may be fined, or its
officers even imprisoned.
38. A person may be charged

on the same charge a f t e r there has
been a disposition of t h e charge
previously," which could have
been acquittal, hence not necessarily conviction.
46. "Harass" means "annoy,"
not "endanger."
47. "Duress" means "compulsion," hence action one takes
against one's will.
49. "Motive" refers to what the
criminal seeks to gain; "intent,"
his determination to commit the
crime, and in some instances the
intent is conclusively presumed as
a m a t t e r of law but the motive
never is.
57. "Four weeks is a long time
to wait" is correct, because t h e
subject Is "time." The length of
time is t h e predicate object.
64. "Whorn did you say t h a t was"
is correct, liecause "whom" is t h e
pronoun object of t h e active verb
"say." Leave out " t h a t was," which
is superfluous, and the point becomes clearer.
65. Reconstructed, the sentence
reads "You send whomever will be
satisfactory," hence "whomever"
is correct, as object of a transitive
verb. T h e verb "to be" does not
figure in t h e determination, any
more t h a n in Question 64.
66. "Lay" and "lie" are trouble
-verbs, but the past tense of neither
is "lain," which is the past p a r t i ciple of "lay."
71. Dr. Luther Gulick is City
Admini.strator, not City Manager.
Part n
78. Color of eyes is best for identification purposes, because people
often lose hair, teeth and weight,
but seldom eyes.
92, 93, 94, 95, 96. T h e correct
spelling is contrivance, collusion,
breach, grievous, wilfully.
113. "A judgment passed by a
court on a person on trial as a
criminal offender is called a
J . "sentence," is given as t h e
tentative answer but consider this:
The judgment could have been one
of acquittal. Had t h e question
read, "A penalty Imposed by a
court on a person convicted as a
the confusing word " j u d g m e n t "
would have been avoided,
criminal offender is called a
"
123. " . . . i s the science of the
punishment of crime."
O, penology, is the tentative a n swer, only partly correct, as penology also Includes crime prevention, and the m a n a g e m e n t of
prisons and reformatories. T h e
tentative answer is close enough,
however, to stand.
124. "False swearing constitutes
the crime of
"
P, perjury, is t h e tentative key
answer. This is wrong, as swearing
falsely to an immaterial act Is
itself immaterial. To constitute
perjury, the false swearing must
be of a material fact and the oath
must be required.

Semi-Security Proposed
By Young for Some Jobs
That Now Have None
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—The
•harp downarci trend in Federal
employment has apparently run
Its course, Philip Young, Chairman
of the U. 3. Civil Service Commission, told the American Federation
of Government Employees at a
dinner celebrating the 71st year
of U. S. civil service.
Latest figures show t h a t since
January, 1953 there has been an
actual net reduction of 192,700
employees, with a 9,400 reduction
during last December. In the continental United States, employment decreased by 8,900 during
December to a total of 2,180,000.
A total of 2.356 240 employees
were reported on the Federal payroil as of December 31, 1953.
"While the President's budget
for 1955 indicates slight further
reductions," said Mr. Young, "it
can be assumed that these will be
taken care of by simply not filling
vacancies that o^cur throuh normal turnover."
Semi-Security Jobs
Discussing the need for providing better security for many U. S.
employees. Chairman Young proposed an expanded and redefined
Schedule A, outside the career
service, between
policy-making
and confidential jobs, in Schedule
C, and the competitive service.
"In addition to absorbing unusual expansions and contractions,
such a group could include certain
other positions which, while not
temporary do not meet the criteria
for either the career service or
Schedule C," he said.
"For example, it might include
key positions below the policymaking level in any new agency
set up to administer a program
t h a t may not bo a permanent Government activity, and also certain
other positions, which, although
not policy-making, inovlve association with State or local officials
under circumstances wherein the
current political climate may have
a definite bearing on the eflectiveness of the job t h a t can be done.
Such positions are clearly not
career material."

Memo to Administration and Legislature
ants. Will they get them? It's unlikely at present rates
of pay. The Mental Hygiene hospitals are chronically
understaffed. Who suffers? The people of the State.
It may be « neighbor or a friend who doesn't get the attention in M mental institution which he should get—because there is an insufficiency of attendants—because the
pay is too low. If the Governor wants it to be written
in the history books that he created a great network of
mental hygiene assistance, he must realize that the history will be contained not in the bricks and mortar of
hospital buildings, but in the quality of service rendered.
That means rates of pay that will attract the best possible
people, men and women who will be secure and happy in
their jobs, who won't leave at the first opportunity. Incidentally, has anyone ever figured out what the amount
of personnel turnover really costs?
Another instance is the case of the State Insurance
Department, which is desperately in need of examiners.
A State-wide examination was unproductive. Now the
department is advertising all over the nation to find examiners. The simple way, of course, would be to pay
salaries that would attract the kind of talent the department wants. In the meantime, NOT having the examiners is costing the State dearly: important work does

negotiation, it is common for each side to build its case
(Continued f r o m page 1)
«rnor be raised to $20,000. The LEADER favors these
increases; and membeis of the Legislature, too, deserve
higher pay than they are getting. The Governor of New
York State performs tasks of complexity and importance
exceeding those performed by executives earning far
higher incomes in private industry. Members of the Legislature are engaged in policy-making matters affecting
the lives and welfare of all the people of the State. Moredver a higher pay figure will inevitably attract men of
superior quality to legislative posts.
Just as upgrading is valuable in these areas, so also
the same consideration holds for other .positions. When
the Civil Service Employees Association recommended an
upward pay revision of 12 per cent, this was not an "asking" figure. It represented a careful study of economic
facts. It represented, too, a reasonable approach; it does
not inchide,'for example, the factor of raised living standards which has been so powerful an aspect of pay raises
to workers in business and industry. The State employee
who wins a 12 per cent pay increase would not necessarily
be better off than he was years ago; he would only be
brought up to a situation which he held at some former
time. The 12 per cent request is a reasonable one.
Question of Morale
Take the problem of morale. A difficult matter to
define, but one which all human beings feel and which is
related to the quality-of work performed. There is no
question that the well-paid employee, feeling economically secure, will work harder, more efficiently and more
effectively than the employee who feels insecure and unfairly treated. The evidence is all around us; in private
industry the most productive workers are in the high-paid
areas; and as salary goes up, the quality of wares produced and the economic health of the industry goes up
too. Look around you at government units. You will
find a direct relationship existing between rates of pay to
employees and the kind of public service the people get.
In the end, higher pay is cheaper for government. The
Governor should remember this as he plans (for example)
his large new mental hygiene program.

against the other. But the attitude of negotiators for the
administration ought never to be, "How little of a raise
can we get away with?" These are not a salesman and
a customer arguing about the price of a piece of furniture.
To continue underpaying the State's employees is the same
as if in effect, an additional tax were imposed them, and
them alone.
Question of Recruitnuent
Take the question of recruitment. And stay, for a
moment, with the situation in the State Mental Hygiene
Department. Currently, hospitals in the Queens, Nassau
jtnd Suffolk area are pleading for 700 additional attend-
Question of Secrecy
And this leads to another point. The facts upon which
negotiations take place ought never to be secret facts.
Yet the curtain was drawn over the wage study of the
Civil Service Department as though it were a military
secret. The result has been that the State's employees,
directly concerned, have had no information about this
official study; the citizens and taxpayers of the State,
who also have an interest, have been denied access to a
report of great current interest. We wish the Budget
Director would cease the practice of secrecy in the matter
of such reports, for secrecy serves nobody. Or could it
be that since the facts are favorable to the employees'
case for a substantial pay increase, the administration
would rather keep them in the dark?
