Annual Meeting
Sets Standards
For Coming Year
A L B A N Y , Oct. 18—The Civil
Service
Employees
Association
took the unprecedented step of
getting, in advance of the general
State-wide elPcUon, the views of
the Republican and Democratic
parties on matters affecting civil
service. These views were presented by two of the major candidates—J. Raymond McGovern,
G O P candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Democratic candidate for
Attorney General.
•Hottest' Klcction
A second item of large interest
at the 44th annual meeting of the
Civil Service Himployees A s s o c i a tion was the re-election of John
F. Powers as President.
The
campaign was the most hotlyfought m CSliiA annals. Theodore
Wenzl, Mr. rowers' opponent in
the election, urged the healing oi
wounds and pjeaged his personal
cooperation toward the further
advancement of the Association.
Mrs. Merrick Speaks
T h e 6U0 delegates, representing
more than 60,0u0 State and local
employees, aiso heard Elinore
Morehouse Herrick, personnel director of the New York Herald
Tribune, deliver an address on
labor relations in government.
Mrs. Herrick strongly condemned
the Condon-Wadlin act and urged
Its jepeal. This is the law forbidding strikes of public employees.
Mrs. Herrick said the law overreaches Its mark and has accomplished no good.
5:! liesoiulions
T h e various units of the Association, and the delegates acting
as a body, met in the DeWitt
Clinton Hotel and in CSEA headquarters at 8 KUc Street, Albany.
T h e delegatos took action on 52
separate resolutions, setting up
Association policy for the coming
year. Resolutions covered a large
variety of matters—salary, overtime pay, retirement, grievance
machinery, Iringe benefits, and
protection of the merit system.
Action was also taken to extend
the term of ofiice held by Association officers from one to two
years. Further action will have
to be taken on this at the February meeting of delegates before
U, becomes final.
Committees Are Active
Detailed
committee
reports
were delivered to the delegates.
This departure from previous
practice was welcomed by tlie
assemblage, which read most of
the reports rather than listen to
all of them. However, the reports
of some committees were supplemented by statements of the
conunittee chairmen.
Two
reports that caused much discussion was that by Charles Dubuar,
chairman of the Pension and Insurance Coniinitteo; and Davis L.
Bhultes, chaii ni;ui of the. Salary
Committee.
'f'he delcgulvs wont on record
as di>:,atisHL"d with the appropriation made by the 1954 LiCglslature
l o r salary adjustments, and urged
that an udtliiional appropriation
b« made "sufficient to permit the
maintenance of adequate and
equitable salaries, for State employees throtighout the 1955-56
fiscal year."
T h e public relations committee
urged extension of this function
of the As.soclatlon, pointing out
th»t public relations is perhaps
the major tool available for effectuating employee objectives.
Two-Oay Convention
n i « eveuts of the organUatloa
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Democratic candi date for Attorney General, shakes hands with
John F. Powers, re-elected President of the Civil Service Employes Association, during the
44th annual C S E A meeting. In the photogra ph also a r e Arnold Moses and Emil impresa

'Socials'
During the twilight period of
Tuesday and Wednesday, the five
Conferences of the Association
held their "socials," with the third
floor of the DeWitt Clinton Hotel
bubbling with laughter and cheer.
In addition, the annual CSEA
social cocktail, a "must" for as
many dignitaries as are free at
the time, was pronouriced better
than ever this year. It had been
arranged, together with many
other functions of the meeting,
by the CSEA Social Committee,
whose chairman is Virginia M.
Leathem. There was dancing late
into the night at CSEA headquarters and at the DeWitt.
Those presiding over and participating at general meetings
were, in addition to Mr. Powers,
the .following: Joseph P. Felly, 1st
vice-president; James V. Kavanaugh, who conducted the meeting for consideration of resolutions; Philip Kerker, toastmaster
at the evening meeting on October
14; Mildred Meskll, reporting
election results on behalf of the
Board of Canvassers; Jesse B.
McParland. former CSEA president, who installed the officers.
Complete reports of committees
and all other annual meeting activities appear in this and in next
week's LEADER.
J Raymond McGovern, State Comptroller and Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, appears before a statistical chart. Speaking before the Civil Service Employees
Association, Mr. McGovern reviewed the accomplishments
of his party in advancing the interests of public employees
during the past 12 years. He warned against Democratic
promises, urged the delegates ot the annual C S E A meeting
to look to performance instead. Mr. McGovern and Mr.
Roosevelt presented their respective party points of view a t
two different session* of the meeting.
A L B A N Y , Oct. 18—By nearly «
two-to-one vote, John P. Powers
was returned to the presidency of
the Civil Service Employees Association.
Two
incumbent
vicepresidents lost, John O'Brien and
John P. Quinn, although in both
cases the voting was close.
A total of 19,275 ballots were
cast in this election, which was
conceded to be the most bitterlyfought in Association history.

By H. J. BERNARD
C H E C K - U P of employees to determine whether they meet loyalty
and national security standards has been marked by enough inconsistency to arouse the American Assembly, a conservative enough group
activity financed by the Ford Foundation. T h e Assembly asks that a
study be made of present methods, which admittedly can subject an
Innocent employee to risk of stigma. A code would be devised that
would not deny the government the protection it deserves, nor the
employee his r i g h t f u l safeguards.
H o w terrible it is to be unjustly accused, and to have fellowworkers and neighbors look on one askance, only the victim of such
an injustice can know. I n the climate of suspicion of public e m ployees that now rules, the need f o r stifler precautions f o r the protection of employees becomes all the more necessary. I t was nice of
the Assembly, not only to Include Its own suggestion about curing
the difficulty, but to make this plea Its main one.
Besides a code of procedures, there should also be a declaration
of enforcement policy. Unjust penalties f l o w f r o m e n f o r c e m e n t policies overburdened with suspicion. P a i r and equitable results can be
obtained f r o m a sen.sible policy applied even to a stiff code. T h e
necessity of being just in enforcement Is at least equal In Importance
to the formulation of a code that provides necessary safeguards.
•
CSVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
Inquiry should be distinguished f r o m attack.
T h e disturbing results do not move only the American Assembly.
T h e courts have had their attention drawn to the subject. T h e y have
been asked to construe provisions of boards of regents and other
bodies that try to impose oaths beyond those required by a State
constitution, while on the other hand employees may try to limit
the authority of a State Legislature to add anything to the Federal
constitutional oath of o£Qce.
NEW 1954 CHEVROLET'S BEL-AIR
W h e r e agencies try to substitute their will for that of the L e g islature, or the voters, they f a l l ; where employees maintain that only
the Federal constitutional oath may be required by the Legislature,
they fail.
T h e legal questions usually have come up In other connections
m a n y times before. T h e r e is no dearth of precedent. A proper, sensible
code would not seek in any way to undermine but rather to perpetuate
•he decisions of the courts which, have been guided by fairness and
subject to reasonable and legal justice, while holding employees
•ubject to inquiry.
A code such as now propo.sed
would do much to prevent the
present rage for scrutinizing pubT h e
M O S
lic employees f r o m becoming a
Diania.

I read in the Civil Service L e a d er the .seven planks which this

I should tell you the Democratic
position on those planks.
Y o u ' v e asked these things:
First, enough funds to assure
adequate and equitable pay to

government, and to apply that
experience to the needs of State
and local employees.
Certainly unemployment insurance ought to apply to employees
of cities, counties, towns, villagesi
and districts. State employees do
have it now, but not on the same
terms as do employees of private
industry. W h y discriminate against
the public worker?
Some people call the 5-day 40hour week a f r i n g e benefit. I don't
think -so. It's a basic thing. T h e
40-hour 5-day week ought to cover
public workers in all parts of the
State. T h i s will require study of
the working arrangements of e m ployees in State institutions, whose
pre.sent 48-hour work-week is not
the best of all possible arrangements.
Time-and-a-Half Pay
W e must consider, too, the problem of higher pay differentials for
night workers, and — most I m portant — time and a half for
overtime pay. Nobody yet has been
able to explain to me why a public worker isn't supposed to earn
time and a half f o r overtime, just
like anybody else. I n fact, the law
makes time and a half pay a

H. J. Bernard, executive editor

operation of the present annuity
system, which he said was f a i r l y
standard in public employee r e tirement systems.
Assuming one retires at age 63,
he said, with a life expectancy as
found in official tables, say of age
73, if a pensioner dies earlier, he

have not received full benefit. But

Better SurVivor Benefits
Insurance benefits are insufficient In public pension systems,
and in the State system included
only half-year's pay and exercise

T h e prison guards want a 40hour week, at present pay received

Leaders Offer 10 Ways
To Improve Civil Service
H A R R I M A N , N . Y . Oct. 18 —
T h e f o u r - d a y meeting of the Am'
•rican Assembly, a group of business, educational, labor and gov• r n m e n t leaders, made 10 recommendations regarding U.S. civil
•ervice. T h e Assembly was created
by President Ei.senhower's efforts
When he was president of Columbia University, and meets twice
a year at Arden House. T h e F o r d
Foundation finances the Assembly.
T h e recommendations:
1. A study be made, as proposed
by Chairman Philip Y o u n g of the
U.S. Civil Service Commission, of
the practicability of having wage
boards, instead of Congre.ss, set
the pay of U.S. classified and
postal woricers.
Social Security
2. T h e Eisenhower admini.^ratlon to make recommendations regarding possible coordination of
Social Security with the U.S. Civil
Service Retirement
System.
A
•tudy of this subject is being undertaken by the administration,
which expects to recommend to
Congress regarding the retirement
law, in January.
3. Extension of the merit system to the filling of U.S. over•ea.s jobs. T h i s project is being
lostered by the Commission.
4. Leaders in all branches of

also recruitment suffers.

6. A system of personnel interd i a n g e should be Instituted in the
U.S. government. T h i s would be
facllitied by a unified pay plan.
At present there are 30 different
pay plans.
6. N e w policies In checking up
on security and loyalty aspects of
hiring and rentention should be
Instituted. A government study
should be made, .so that innocent
employees will be protected against stigma, while fully safeguarding the interests of the government. Present methods were found
dangerous, e.specially in the accusing climate of the present,

A L B A N Y , Oct. 18 — Questions
of pay. hours of work, working
conditions, f r i n g e benefits, and
the d a y - t o - d a y problems of local
public employees should be tackled
at the local level first, through
individual and group action by the
employees themselves. T h i s " s e l f h e l p " theme was the keynote of
an address by T h o m a s B. Dyer to
the County Division
Delegates
Conference, at the annual C S E A
meeting in Albany last week.
M r . Dyer, w h o is Chairman of
the B o a r d of Supervisors of O n ondaga County, and regional counsel of the CSEA, said Initial a c tion should be taken by county

Salary Committee Explains E. D.
How New State Plan Works
(Continued from Pa^c 9)
most chance of success f o r next
year is to correct the Inequities
and inadequacies that still exist in
t h e new salary allocations. P r e sumably, this could be done by
granting a substantial number of
appeals that have- or will be filed.
T l i e resolution which was recommended by the salary committee
Is Resolution One as passed by all
t h e delegates to the C S E A meeting.
As most of you are probably
sfware, some economic conditions
are not propitious f o r a general
salary increase this year. T h e cost
of living has not gone up during
the past year; there is a considerable amount of unemployment,
and weekly wages in private i n dustry are down slightly as the
result of a shorter average work
week
in many
industries,
although there is a. continued upward movement of wage level.
These conditions, however, should
not deter us f r o m seeking an appropriation to complete the i n stallation of the new salary plan

This! has beert 14 -very b*i€f I
3ume of the principal factors i n volved in tiie salary problems of
the last few years. I have said
nothing about the
tremendous
amount of work done by the salary committee and the Association's staff hi assembling a great
volume of economic data and preparing statistical analyses for presentation at our salary conference
with the Governor's Committee.
W e could not get very f a r without presenting the facts f a v o r a b l e
to our case. Emotional appeals
•
have little value and there has
oeen a minimum of "hor.se-tradIng" tactics at our conferences.
W e should be thankful to the
officers of our Association and
the members of the board of directors who have been wise enough
and responsible enough to base
their decisions on hard
facts
rather than to enter an apparently easy political cour.se of asking
tor the moon and basing their demands on wishful thinking rather
than oh realistic judgment. All of
our raises during the past ten
years have been won by negotiations or conferences with the e x ecutive branch of our State govBrnment — the Governor's Office.
On the two or three occasions
that we tried to go to the L e g islature direct and use political
pressure, we failed to get a n y where. One of the most valuable
assets of the Association is the
open door to the conference room
which could, of course, have been
closed to us if we had ceased to
maintain respect f o r our i n t e g rity and sense of responsibility.
