employee problems to t h e Legislature, in which he reviewed the

Two Prison Guards Fined $ 6 3 0
For Working at Harness Track
Say They Are Only Scapegoats
BATAVIA,
Feb.
22 — Two
guards a t Attica S t a t e Prison,
who were fined t h e equivalent of
$630 each, or 12 per cent of a n nual pay, through being suspended 45 days without pay for working at t h e Batavia t)owns Race
Track, are suing In t h e Genesee
County Supreme Court.
They
seek an order annulling the p u n ishment and t h e entire disciplin a r y proceeding. They say they
are being made the scapegoats of
harness racing scandals.
The guards. H e r m a n Lange and
Raymond Callan, state the following on information a n d belief.:
The charges are not made in good
faith, but were motivated by, and
were a n outgrowth of, t h e exigencies of a high level political
entanglement involving various
representatives of t h e Executive
and Legislative branches of the
government of t h e S t a t e of New
York.
Ulterior Motives Charged
" T h e entire proceedings by t h e
respondents (the Commissioner
of Correction, t h e warden et al.)
were merely a n artifice to effectu a t e predetermined punishment
of the petitioners. Ulterior motives by t h e respondents controlled
their
arbitrary
determination.
Such motivation
was
making
scapegoat examples of the petitioners under the political pressure of the so-called harness
racetrack scandal and the desire
by the Executive D e p a r t m e n t of
the State to rectify such situation.
If such problem (of purifying
harness race operations) in fact
exists, petitioners urge t h a t t h e
Executive D e p a r t m e n t and its a d ministrative
heads . . . strike
boldly a t t h e sources and true
roots of t h e evil, but t h a t loyal
employees such as petitioners not
be arbitrarily penahzed."
Method of Croup Thinking
Presented by Ray Castle
Not Asked to Aesign
Mr. Lange was one of a group
of employees called in by Dr.
Walter Martin, t h e warden of
Attica. Mr. Callan was not among
them.
The warden said he knew of
Mr. Lange's spare-time employment a t the track, where he
worked principally at a cashier's
window, but while not asking him
to quit t h a t job, remarked it would
be bad taste not to do so in view
of the adverse publicity arising
out of the Yonkers Raceway situation, Mr. Lange set forth. He
adds he informed the warden he
would resign his track job immediately.
Thanks, Followed by Charges
"The warden thereupon expressed his t h a n k s to the petitioner and the others present for
their co-operation," Mr. Lange
says in t h e petition.

use of t h e multiple panel, sometimes referred to as the buzz session. This technique is highly valuable when audiences are too
large or unwieldy to be handled as
a single or integrated conference.
I t works especially well in a small
group, when audience opinion is
needed."
. T h e procedure:
One way of working is to divide
t h e audience into small groups.
O f t e n these groups can work
around tables.
Each group selects a c h a i r m a n .
an evaluator and a recorder.
T h e c h a i r m a n conducts the discussion.
T h e evaluator sees to it t h a t
the discussion stays on t h e subject.
The recorder prepares a report
on t h e findings of the group.
Step 2.
Each group is assigned one subject for discussion. There may be
more t h a n one subject, but each
group considers only one.
Step 3.
T h e group, led by t h e chairman, fully explores the chosen
subject until time is called.
Here is a simple method by
which to approach the problem.
You ask:
W h a t is t h e problem?
W h a t h a s caused the problem
to come about?
W h a t are the possible solutions?
W h a t is t h e best solution?
T h e report is then drawn u p by
the recorder, ready for presentation.
conference and its result, also r e signed his position a t t h e Batavia
Downs track.
T h e two guards considered t h a t
giving up t h e track jobs would
end the whole m a t t e r .
T h e conference was held on October 3, 1953. Five days later they
were served with charges of violating d e p a r t m e n t a l rules, particularly one t h a t requires permission to hold an outside job.
Nothing to Be Ashamed Of
T h e petitioners told t h e coiu-t
t h a t when late J o h n J. Lyons was
Commissioner, he allowed guards
to hold an outside job. if it did
not interfere with their regular
duties and was not against the i n terest of t h e State; and it was
permissible to accept such jobs
without special permission. H a r ness racing is licensed by t h e
State, which derived $17,500,000
income f r o m it in one year, t h e
petitioners point out, and fellowemployees at t h e track were bank
employees, teachers,
policemen
and other persons of high c h a r a c ter. Since the present Commissioner has not rescinded or modified the Lyons order, the petitioners considered it still in effect, as
a relaxation of t h e rule requiring
written permission of t h e Commissioner
of
Correction.
the
guards being trusted to exercise
proper judgment about the type
of outside jobs they filled.
Both petitioners have families
to support and say t h a t they h a d
to augment their income
as
guards for the proper care of
family and education of the children. Mr. Callan is the f a t h e r of
six.
Say Accusers Should Be Accused
Both petitioners say they were
not a member of any union. One
of the points brought out in the
newspaper publicity about harness
tracks for the inquiry spread from
Yonkers Raceway to Roosevelt
Raceway to Batavia Downs, was
t h a t Joey Fay, a labor leader imprisoned
for
extortion,
had
among his visitors
prominent
politicians including S t a t e Senator
Arthur H. Wicks. T h e petitioners
mention t h e Fay-WICKS situation
as one of t h e aspects of the i n quiry t h a t resulted in such s h a r p
action being taken regarding their
own
employment
at
Batavia
Downs. Mr. Lange worked t h e r e
for six years. Mr. Callan for t h i r teen, at night. T h e petitioners say
t h a t , since their
employment
there was known to their s u pervisors. and particularly t h e
warden, those are the ones who
should be up on charges for condoning t h e employment.
Another accusation against t h e
two men is t h a t they their a c tions tended to bring the Correction D e p a r t m e n t into disrepute, also forbidden by a d e p a r t mental rule, through publicizing
their connections with the Batavia
Downs track in newspapers and by
radio. T h e men say all the p u b licity was given out by d e p a r t ment officials, none by themselves.
Even h a d they done so. it would
not have offended the American
law of freedom of the press, t h e
two guards say, explaining t h a t
the department could not claim
exclusive right to h a n d out spoonfed publicity releases.
The attorneys for the petitioners are Kavinoky, Cook, Hepp
and Sandler, of Buffalo. Charles
H. Sandler is counsel. He is a r e gional attorney for t h e Civil

Criminal Hospital Equal
Pay' Drive Cains Impetus
ALBANY, Feb. 22 — A drive to
obtain "equal pay" for criminal
hospital a t t e n d a n t s at D a n n e mora
and
Matteawan
with
salaries paid prison guards in
other State prisons has opened on
Capitol Hill.
T h e legislative effort, backed by
t h e Civil Service Employees Association, is being made
by
Senator Ernest I. Hatfield a n d
Assemblyman J a m e s A. F i t z p a t rick.
The Argument
I n a memorandum supporting
t h e bill, the CSEA has made this
appeal:
"Little argument is required to
demonstrate the justness of the
claims of the criminal hospital
attendants. They have in their
custody the same convicted felons
Who are t h e wards of the other
prisons in the Correction D e p a r t -
ment. I n addition there are felons
of assorted types t h a t are also
criminally insane.
"The
criminal
hospital
att e n d a n t s are required to deal with
this type of felon, even more d a n gerous t h a n his sane counterpart,
u n a r m e d in open wards of forty
or more. Certainly their duties are
every bit as arduous and even
more dangerous t h a n the duties
of the prison guards in other institutions of the department, and
under the S t a t e policy of equal
pay for equal work, w a r r a n t a
salary equal to t h a t of prison
guards."
In a twin effort. Senator H a t field also has introduced a bill
to provide "equal pay" for m a t rons at Westfield a n d Albion.
Under
the
measure,
matrons
would receive t h e same pay as
prison guards.

between 18 and 50, to prepare now for U. S. Civil Service
jobs in and around Greater New York. During the next
twelve months there will be over 29.320 appointments to U. S.
Government jobs in this area. *
These will be jobs paying as high as $316.00 a m o n t h
to start. They are better paid t h a n the same kinds of jobs
in private industry. They offer far more security t h a n private
employment. Many of these jobs require little or no experience
or specialized education.
BUT in order to get one of these jobs, you must pass a
Civil Service test. The competition in these tests is intense.
In some cases as few as one out of five applicants pass!
Anything you can do to inci-ease your chances of passing is
well worth your while.
Franklin Institute is a privately owned firm which helps
thousands pass these tests each year. The Institute is t h e
largest and oldest organization of this kind and it is not
connected with the Government.
To get full information free of charge on these Government jobs fill out and mail the coupon at once. Or call a t
office — open daily incl. Sat. 9:00 to 5:00. The Institute will
also show you how you can qualify yourself to pass these
tests. Don't delay — act now!

Legislator Polls Voters,
Finds They Favor 12% Pay
Rise for State Employees
ALBANY, Feb. 22 — A crosssection of voters in t h e N i n t h Assembly District approve salary
increases for S t a t e workers, according to t h e "Preller Poll."
T h e poll, conducted every two
years by Assemblyman F r e d W.
Preller, Queens Republican, a t
his own expense, seeks to find out
how t h e voter feels on t h e m a i n
issues before t h e Legislature.
59% Favor Pay Rise
This year one of t h e questions
asked by Mr. Preller was: "Civil
service employees contend t h a t
their salaries have not been adequately a d j u s t e d to keep pace with
t h e rising cost of living. T h e 12
per cent average increase would
cost a n estimated $22 million. Do
you favor such a n increase?
Of 3,025 replies received so f a r ,
59 per cent favored t h e increase,
while 41 per cent were against it.
Mr. Preller h a s mailed 16,500
questionnaires in his private poll
to constituents. T h e favorable r e sponse f r o m voters on salary i n creases for S t a t e workers is i n t e r preted on Capitol Hill as being
highly significant.
O n e observer pointed out t h a t
it indicates general public s u p port for pay a d j u s t m e n t s f o r civil
service workers, despite strong
pressures f o r other forms of economy in government.

When an Employee
Dies While in Service—
of interesting, and at the same time somewhat
A group
disturbing facts have been presented to State Comptroller J. Raymond McGovein concerning what is known
as "ordinary death benefit" in the retirement scheme. If
a member of the State Retirement System <^ies while in
active service, one month's average salary for each year
of service — not exceeding six months — goes to his survivors. A man may have worked 25 years, but if he dies
even a few days before he is due to retire, his widow would
get only six months' salary — and that's all. Two other
public retirement systems (New York City Retirement
System and New York City Teachers Retirement System)
have amended their plans to provide a maximum death
benefit of twelve months' salary. A more appropriate
death benefit is vital for members of the State Retirement
also. Estimates show that the cost of increasing the present
maximum death benefit from six months to twelve months
would amount to about one-half of one per cent of payroll
for current services.
There are additional good reasons for taking this step.
(A) Studies show that of 100 clerical employees entering service at age 30, some 17 per cent die in active
service, as compared with about IT^/o per cent who eventually retire or become disabled. Thus, in terms of the
number of employees afi'ected, the death benefit is of equal
importance with the retirement and disability benefit.
(B) Some private industries (General Motors, Socony
Vacuum, American Gas, Eastman Kodak) provide two
years' salary. In group life insurance purchased by employers to provide death benefits, the usual practice calls
for one-and-a-half to two yeais' salary.
(C) In 1953, 1,000 members of the State Retirement
System died while in active service. Half of thes€ persons
had twelve years or more of service.
(D) There is a wide disparity between the value of
benefits paid to a member who happens to die shortly
prior to age 55 or 60, as compared with the value of the
pension paid a member who reaches such ages and retires.
John F. Powers, president of the Civil Service Employees Association, has asked that the present six-months'
ordinary death benefit be modernized to meet changed
conditions and to match the benefits provided by private
industry. He is obviously right, and it should be added that
the present setup hasn't been changed since 1923.

HOW TO RETIRE SOONER
by earning
a small
income
Government figures prove you need mwch
less money if you retire to the country, and
now a new book shows over and over again how to make the money you do need,
whether you retire with or without a lot
of money in the bank.
Fred Tyler's HOW TO MAKE A LIVING IN THE COUNTRY is "virtually a
blue print for the retired man or woman
wanting to make their own way," says
the Chicago Daily News.

Where Will You Go In Florida?
If You Want a Vacation You Can Afford
Florida needn't be expensive—not if you
know just where to go for whatever you
seek in Florida. And if there's any man
who can give you the facts you want it's
Norman Ford, founder of the worldfamous Globe Trotters Club. (Yes, Florida
is his home whenever he isn't traveling!)
His big book, Norman Ford's Florida,
tells you, first of all, road by road, mile
by mile, everything you'll find in Florida,
whether you're on vacation, or looking
over job, business, real estate, or retirement prospects.
Always he names the hotels, motels, and
restaurants where you can stop for the
best accommodations and meals at the
price you want to pay. For that longer
vacation if you let Norman Ford guide
you, you'll find a real "paradise"—just the
spot which has everything you want.'
^ Of course, there's much more to thU
big book.
If You Want a Job or a Home in Florida
Norman Ford tells you just where to head.
His talks with hundreds of personnel managers, business men, real estate operators,
state officials, etc. lets him pin-point the
towns you want to know about if you're
going to Florida for a home, a job with a
future, or a business of your own. If you've
ever wanted to run a tourist court or own
orange grove, he tells you today's inside
story of these popular investments.
If You Want to Retire on a Small Income
Norman Ford tells you exactly where you
can retire now on the money you've got,
whether it's ^ little or a lot. (If you need
a part-time or seasonal job to help out your
income, he tells you where to pick up extra income.) Because Norman Ford always
tells you where life in Florida is pleasantest on a small income, he can help you to
take life easy now.
Yes, no matter what you seek in Florida
—whether you want to retire, vacation,
get a job, buy a home, or start a business,
Norman Ford's Florida gives vou the facts
you need to find exactly what you want.
Yet this big book with plentv of'maps and
well over lOO.OOO words sells for onlv $2
— only a fraction of the money you'd
spend needlessly if you went to Florida
blind.
