ALBANY, Jan. 31 — Work of the County Officers Association was described to the members of the County Executive Committee, CSEA, meeting in the library of Association Headquarters in Albany. Vernon A. Tapper of Onondaga, chairman of the committee, introduced Donald C. Scribner, of Johnstown, executive secretary of the County Officers group. Mr. Scribner said that the organization he represents is composed of county officers who meet to handle problems dealing with the administration of 58 counties in its membership. Only the five counties of New York City are not members, as their problems would be of a municipal nature, Mr. Scribner explained. He described the operation and purposes of his organization and advocated that the county chapters of the Asso- ciation consider recommending to the county board of supervisors, or to other governing agency, that private concern make a survey of the salaries and duties of the various employees. He stressed that such a report must be made without any political alignments, and added that one specific goal of his group is mandatory year-round Saturday closing of county offices. Following Mr. Scribner's talk, there was discussion of the various bills to be introduced in the legislature this year. New Brochure Planned Philip Kerker, director of pubtic relations, presented suggestions for a new type of brochure to be gotten out for membership recruitment, and a committee was appointed to aid Mr. Kerrkerr in this project, consisting of Lula (Continued on Paee 3) Dannemora, M atteawan Aides Achieve High Status ALBANY, Jan. 31—An objective •f many years standing appeared close to achievement last week for employees of Dannemora and Matleawan State Hospitals. J. Earl Kelly, Director of Classification, indicated that he would recommend upgrading of the salnries of criminal hospital attendants in all levels. It was understood that the recommendation Would be they should receive the same pay as guards in the State prison.s. The attendants had long contended that their tasks are as difficult and as arduous as those of pri.son guurtls. They had even luuintaiufd tiieir Joto are the more difficult, because they must handle persons who are both criminals and mentally maladjusted. 50 At Hearing More than 50 criminal hospital attendants, together with Senator Hatfield of D»tchess County and Assemblyman Fitzpatrick of Clinton County, attended a hearing in the State Office Building on Tuesday, January 25. The group held a pre-hearing conference in headquarters of the Civil Service Employees Association, to marshall their arguments for presentation before the State Classification and Compensation Division. The reallocation will affect 602 criminal hospital attendants, 144 criminal hospital senior attendants, and 66 criminal hospital charge attendants at Matteawan State Hospital, Beacon, and Dannemora State Hospital. John P. Powers, CSEA president, coinnlented on the development: "The statement of Mr. Kelly Is a heartening one. The adjustment in salary inequity has been long overdue and has been urged by the Civil Service Employees Association for many years. Mr. Kelly Is to be congratulated on his forllu'igUt statement." ALBANY, Jan. 31 — A half-inch thick revision of the State civil service law was placed in the hopper this week. It represents the work of the Pi'eller Commission over a three-year period, and changes some of the basic elements in the present law. The measure incorporates 165 changes, much re-writing and simplification. Produced by the Temporary i State Commission on Revision of the Civil Service Law, the proposals would become effective on October 1, 1955, if enacted. Assemblyman Fred W. Preller is chairman of the Commission. Senator Francis J. Mahoney, now Democratic leader in the upper house, was, until his resignation, vice-chairman. Rieht of Hearing One of the big changes suggested is the right of hearing and counsel on stated charges to all employees in the competitive class. These rights have long been sought by public employees, only to be frustrated by the opposition of some civic groups. Governor Dewey on several occasions vetoed measures which would have given this right, now enjoyed only by war veterans and exempt volunteer firemen. Reinstatement Related to this, another change gives the right of reinstatement to an employee who has been improperly suspended or dismissed. This reinstatement would be to the employee's former position, after the suspension or dismissal had been reversed. Divided on Anti-Strike Law The Commission by a divided vote decided against repeal of the Condon-Wadlin anti-Strike Act. Commission members voting to continue that law are Assemblymen Preller and Orin S. Wilcox, Senator Austin W. Erwin, Clyde A. Lewis, H. Eliot Kaplan and William D. McCallum. Those favoring repeal are Assemblyman Frank J. Pino, Alexander A. Falk, President of the State Civil Service Commission, Senator Thomas J. Cuite and Dr. Frank L. Tolman. One modification of the act was agreed upon by all the members of the Commission, to give right of appeal to any employee believing himself aggrieved by a decision that he has violated the antistrike law. The appeal could be made to the appropriate civil service commission as well as to the court, with the right, upon reversal, to reinstatement to his former position with pay from the date of his dismissal. Refusal to Answer Another proposal provides that any public employee claiming constitutional privilege against selfincrimination, or who refuses to waive immunity or to answer questions concerning his official conduct or duties upon any duly authorized inquiry, shall vacate his position. Among other change.i, tlie bill accomplishes the following: Broadens and liberalizes the provisions relating to transfer of employees. The State and local units of government would be allowed to transfer employees between them. And no employee could be transferred without his consent. Abolishes Veto Power Transfers to the State Department of Civil Service the power to classify and allocate positions in the State service, and abolishes tlie veto power now exercised by the State Budget Director. Gives local civil service commissions the power to raise, lower or abolish examination fees, except where the State commission conducts the examination. Ne Changes in Vet Preference The bill does not change th« present law concerning preference in appointment and retention for war veterans, and clarifies existing provisions concerning the use of additional credits for such veterans. The Commission's bill, recognlaing the shortage of help in certain areas of the State and in certain hospitals and institutions, proposes to authorize commissions to relax citizenship requirements where such shortage is certified to exist, pending the filing and prosecuting of a petition for citizenship by such persons seeking such employment. Regional Civil Service It also authorizes the establishment of regional civil service commissions or regional personnel officers by adjoining counties or cities. Gives indefinite tenure to ytllage employees in the competitire class, which would include policemen appointed after the act be(Continued on Page 16) DEWEY PENSION $2400 TILL 1967, THEN $12,412 ALBANY, Jan. 31—State Comptroller Arthur Levitt has revealed details of former Governor Dewey's retirement under option four of the New York State Employees' Retirement System. This option provides: "such optional benefit or benefits as the Comptroller shall approve and which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his retirement allowance at the time of retirement." Mr. Dewey's choice provides an annual retirement allowance of $2,400 from January 1, 1955 through March 23, 1967 and thereafter an 'annual allowance of $12,412. The latter allowance is payable, under retirement law, for as long as Mr. or Mrs. Dewey shall live. Ir Mr. Dewey were to die before March 24, 1967 (when he would be 65), his widow would receive an annual allowance of $5,000 until March 24, 1967, and $12,412 yearly for the rest of her life. Under the Retirement statute, the basic retirement allowance to which Governor Dewey would have been entitled was $9,010.50 per annum for his life. The actuarial calculations for the modified allowance were made by the Actuary for the New York State Employees' Retirement System and were reviewed by Mr. George B. Buck, the consulting Actuary for the System. Harriman Meets With Powers, DeGrafF ALBANY, Jan. 31 — Governor Averell Harriman met for a halfhour session on Thursday, January 27, with John F. Powers, president of the Civil Service Employees Association, and John T. DeGralf, counsel. While the substance of the conversation was not revealed, Mr. Powers and Mr. DeGraft olTered the Governor the cooperation at the Association and Its help toward solving civil service problein^i.

Increases of up to $475 were a p pro:'ed for assistant chief of housing community activities, and chief of housing community activities. An increase of $310 In the minimum and $270 in the maximum salaries of foremen of hou.sing caretakers brings the earnings into line with "prevailing rates'* for private employees performing similar duties, says the Authority. A group of watchmen in the Authority who had been performing stockroom duties for more than 10 years were reclassified to bring title in line with their duties, and are now called housing supply men. In the upper echelons, the director of public relations and information was raised from $7,850 to $8,100, and the director of management from $7,850 to $8,100.

This offer is open to all eligible members of the Association who have not attained their 50th birthday and who have not been rejected for the Association's group life policy on the basis of a medical examination. BeneflU Raised The additional benefits under the Association's group life insurance have been raised from 10% to 15% without extra cost. This policy also provides an additional amount equal to the group life insurance for accidental death as defined in the policy at no extra cost. Up to November 1. 1955, if an insured member dies with $5,000 base amount in force, the payment to tlie beneficiary would be $5,750. In the event of accidental death as defined in the policy an additional $5,750 would be payable — a total payment to the beneficiary of $11,500. These extra benefits are now enjoyed by ail members now insured under the Association's group life policy. Members who apply during February and are insured will receive the same extra benefits as those now Insured. Literature has been Issued describing the group life insurance plan of the Association. If you did not receive the literature you may obtain it together with an application form.

ISLAND PARK, LONG ISLAND. N. Y. Phone LOnc Beach INC fectlve yesterday, about 220,000 indefinite employees were converted to career employees, and 235,000 more indefinites, who also entered the Government on a competitive basis but wlio have not yet had three years of substantially continuous Federal service, became career-conditional. Prom this category, they may eventually move to career status on completion of the three years. Pension Switch for 380,000 The new career-conditional system brings to an end emergency procedures adopted under the spur of the Korean War. Virtually all appointments since 1950 have been on an Indefinite basis, even when employees who had already won permanent status were rehired. Overall aim of the new system is to stabilize the Federal employment picture, to establisli career opportunities for well-qualified men and women, and to protect the career employee, so far as practicable, agains unavoidable employment fluctuations. The career worker has greater job protection than workers in any of the other three classifications—careerconditional, indefinite, or temporary. conditional employees enjoy Both career and careerthe beneats of the civil service retirement system. The Commission estimated that only about 75,000 of the 455,000 former indefinites were already under that retirement system. The remaining 380,000 will begin paying into the civil-service retirement system, rather than the Social Security system, with the pay period that began on January 23 or begins later. Under the civil-service retirement system employees pay 6 percent of their salaries into the retirement, fund, where It draws interest at three percent compounded annually. If an employee leaves Federal employment prior to completion of 20 years' service, he may withdraw his contributions, plus interest. There is a guarantee that the employee or his survivors will be paid the total amount contributed plus interest, in a lump-sum payment, or may select an annuity. Most of the remaining 174,000 indefinite employees now on the rolls will have the opportunity of taking competitive exams and of moving into career-conditional and eventually career c'.assiflcatlons as tiielr names are reached for appointment to the new status on lists of eligibles, tlie Commission said.

By .lACK SOLOD 40-Hour Week for State Institutions FOii 'iii/iKS we have been reading about NYC being short ot money. The annual pilgrimage to Albany of City officials seeking more State aid is well publicized. In the lace of tills money shortage, the accomplishments of the New York City administration towards its employees Is magnificent. Stite employees are asked where will the money come from for a 40-hour week in institutions? Where did the money come from in NYC? The City police liave gone from 48 to 40 hours, the firemen from 54 to 40 hours, Correction olflcers from 48 to 40 hours, and sanitation workers from 48 to 40 hours — in some cases with an increase in pay! Tlie Stale institution employees are asking for 40 hours with the same take-home pay. Various groups in State service interpret this as a 20 percent raise and say, "Me too." In 1936-1937, when institution employees went from a 12-liour day to the eight-hour day, that was not regarded as a 50 percent raise, and no State employee shouted, "Me too." Of course most groups in State employment have lagged behind in salaries; the tiiousands of jobs being reclassified at present is proof. We in Correction liope tliese inequities in salary will be adjusted satisfactorily, but see no cause for a me too attitude. Survey Recommended Extension of the 5-day 40-hour week as soon as uniformly possible." That is the goal. Mayor Wagner of NYC recently stated that increased efficiency in installing the 40-hour week saved tiie City $2,100,003: in one group 425 new employees were necessary, instead of an e. . od 1.100. The State could learn a le.s.son here. An immediate survey of all institutional jobs should be undertaken with a view to c. .Tjlidating various .services so that tlie 40-hour week could be accomplished with a minimm of additional employees. The time is now; it is unifcrnily po.ssible now! JAMES LYONS, new Deputy C( mmi.s.';ioner of Ari'' 're. is an excellent choice. A graduate of Ailz.uia State, aciivey t. '^iged in farming all his life, he is a former Regional Director of CPA. Good luck, Jim! Question, Please AAAAAA^AAAAAAAAMAAMAAAAAAAA/kAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* We have recently been advised by the Westcliester County Commissioner's Office of Department j of Public Welfare that employees who are required to live on the premises for the benefit of the [ County service and wiio are required to pay for their room and board will, not have to pay an income tax on this maintenance. This amounts to about $150 a year. However, in the Civil Service LEADER of October 5, an article by H. J. Bernard says "State employees who live and eat in State institutions at the instance of the employer, still do so to suit his convenience at the expense of their own and will not have to pay an income tax on meals and lodgings retroactive to January 1, 1954." Is this .so? Mr. Bernard writes: "Besides exclusion of the value of maintenance from January 1, 1954 refunds on taxes paid in 1949 to 1953 are possible if timely demand was made and if the Civil Service Employees' Ass-ociation wins its suit now in the Federal Appeals Court. Under the law as it existed for this five-year period applications for refund had to be made within two years after the return was filed. Under the new law, a f fecting 1954 and later incomes, the limitation is two years from the last day to file the return, irrespective of any extension granted for other purposes. This does not change the refund rule for past years." Does this mean the we can only request a refund for 1954, although we paid the U. S. Gov- ernment from 1949 to 1953? If requests for rei , . ". on incomes paid frohi IT .J to 1953 were not niR'.'.p, f- '. \ j did not I'.iio'.v li n \vc c . : such a request ara w o . : . . ck as far as refunds for yc<as are concerned? May I congra' '^te the Civil Service Employe?-' /-"".cir.tion on the results of '•; 'ent effort to have ti" ; . .u'.r taxation eliminated. The LJ O saouid also eliminate this tax. I am envjioyed in the Maintenance D:!:ar.;nent of the Westchester County Public Welfare Dept. R.T. Answer — The new law applies to 1954 and subsequent years, freeing maintenance fiom tax, under the conditions described. As to prior years, during which tax was paid on maintenance there will be no refund, unless a timely protest was made against paying that tax, and the court upholds the Civil Service Em.oloyees Association's argumsut the tax was illegally required. Both conditions must be met before refund would follow.

State employees whose papers are received by the hospitalization and medical-surglcft.1 ser\'lces by that date will come under the payroll deduction plan — with resultant savings — on the late May payroll deduction. This will start their monthly insurance payments in advance as of June 16. and they will be covered from that date. The A.ssociatlon brings to attention of State workers the fact that under the Association's cooperative plan, the CSEA combines the accounting and other work necessary to make the payroll deductions with the system it already operates for its member.ship's group life insurance and accident and health insurance.

Course ployees save by coming imder payroll deduction rather than individual membership in the plans. The Association is confident that State employees who take advantage of the payroll deduction system for this important insurance coverage will become CSEA members. However, there is no obligation to .join; non-members are free to utilize the CSEA's services in this respect: and all State employees, with few exceptions, are eligible. Who May S-gn Up Any person on a State payroll, except those on legislative payrolls from which no deductions may be made, is eligible. However retired employees are not eligible. For New Employees A new State employee may file application and deduction authorization with the Blue Cross-Blue Shield within the first 90 days of employment with the State, and the coverage will take effect on the 16th of the month following the first deduction of a montii's subscription charge. Except for new employees who file within their first 90 days of employment, future applications will be accepted only twice yearly. Authoriza- Eligible Is Passed Over, Review Urged tlons will be accepted only by March 1 and September 1. Present Subscribers Can Save Those State employees who are already members of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield but not on payroll deduction may switch over to the payroll deduction plan by obtaining a payroll deduction authorization from the appropriate office (listed below). They will be billed directly by the Blue CrossBlue Shield, or by Blue Cross if they do not have the full service, for the time prior to the payroll deduction period, and then will come under the reduced deduction rate. Where to Apply The function of the CSEA in this system is solely to assist the State employees by making possible the advantages of payroll deduction.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Reinsfafing Wrongfully 1, 1955 an Employee Dismissed C ^ o n t r a s t these t w o cases: 1. A Federal employee with 23 years' service is dismissed f o r "technical deficiencies," appeals to the United States Civil Service Commission befoz-e which he is represented by counsel, is found to have been w r o n g f u l l y dismissed, and is ordered reinstated, v i t h $8,000 back pay. 2. A State employee with 25 years' service is dismissed f o r alleged misconduct, appeals to the State Civil Service Commission, which fmds the dismissal was unjustified, a n d — t h a t ' s all. N o order of reinstatement; no back pay, of course. T h e Commission can't do anything about it, h o w e v e r unju.st the dismissal, except to put him on a pref e r r e d list and permit him to be transferred if anyone will take him. In the Federal situation, the D e f e n s e Department is given 10 days in which to reinstate an engineer w r o n g f u l l y dismissed. T h e director w h o dismissed the State employee, a cook at Hudson R i v e r State Hospital, refuses to take the employee back. Even a f t e r the Civil Service Commission has sustained the employee's appeal, the director publicly announced his refusal to reinstate. T h e employee, Patrick J. Delahoyde, then had no I'ecourse but to bring suit f o r reinstatement, and the matter came b e f o r e Justice H a r r y E. Shirick in A l b a n y Supreme Court, with Mr. D e l a h o y d e represented by the firm of D e G r a f f , Foy, Conway, HoltHarris and K e l l y . T h e issues concern not only Mr. Delahoyde personally, but all employees of the State and its subdivisions. Justice Shirick granted the petition. H e said the statute does not give the Civil Service Commission p o w e r to order reinstatement, but remarked that the duty to reinstate a vindicated employee would seem nevertheless to " r e s t upon the appointing otticer as a matter of l a w . . . . T h e petitioner having been cleared of such charges, his removal becomes u n l a w f u l . " CSEA Fought Many Years for These Rights T h e Civil Service Employees Association has been fighting over many years f o r acceptance of the proposition that the Civil Service Commission should have authority to order reinstatement in such cases as that of Mr. Delahoyde ; and also for the related right of an e m p l o y e e t o have a hearing and representation by counsel in disciplinary proceedings. T h e P r e l l e r Commission this w e e k introduced legislation to grant these t w o basic safeguards. Governor Harriman, too, is reported ready to recommend such a course. A t the behest of the Civil Service Employees Association, Senator Manning and Assemblyman D e m o have already introduced reinstatement legislation, as they have f o r several years past. A l s o this w e e k , C S E A bills providing the right of a hearing with representation by counsel In disciplinary proceedings will be introduced. T h e struggle cf the employees appears close to victory. T h e Legislature i^iould act to r e c t i f y what is such a clear and palpable injustice, and put into l a w the e f f e c t » f Justice Shirick's decision.

In the January 11 issue was publishdtt a reply signed by 15 Mt. Morris State Hospital employees. I cited instances in which other jurisdictions granted the 40-hour week at the same take-home pay that was paid for a 48-hour week. The N Y C Transit Authority, Connecticut and New Jer-sey were given as examples. Other jurisdictions, including local ones in New York State, reduced 44 hours to 42 on the same basis. The reply by the 15 ignores .some of the essential points I made. That reply refers to Chapter 270 of the Laws of 1947, establishing 40-hour basis for institutional employees, and cites that in some jobs the work week is 44 or 48 hours, at additional compensation, at straight time. True overtime is a premium rate. The reply says that I favor freezing into base pay the present overtime compensation, for the 44- and 48-hour week workers, with no such benefit for those working 40 to 44 hours. That's not true. What Others Should Get Employees now working 44 hours should have the 40-hour week with the present take-home 44-hour pay. Note thati^the 44-hour groups have advanced half way, since 1947, toward the 40-hr. goal. Whether those now working 48 hours can advance at one step to (Continued on Page 12) MODERN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION This column is designed to be of $ervice to administratora, supervisors, and employees who are interested in netv ideas per' tairting to government operations.

So far so good, says the American Society of Planning Officials^ But assuming that required off-street parking space is provided to begin with, what guarantee is there that it will continue to be provided? If the parking space is on the same piece of land as the building it serves, there is less danger that the owner will fail to continue to provide off-street parking. But suppose the required off-street parking space is not under the same ownership as the building? In theso cases, there is more chance for violation. Separate lots for parking can be tempting sites for building, loading, or storage purposes. As a result, the society says, more and more communities are finding it a good idea to specify in their zoning ordinances that the obligation to provide off-street parking space is one that continues as long as the building is in use. West Palm Beach makes the continuing use of the building contingent on the continuing existence of the parking lot. As for required parking space located on a lot different from the one on which the building rests, Colorado Springs says ". . . there shalf be recorded in the office of the City Clerk of Colorado Springs a covenant by the owner or owners of said lot that such parking spaces will be maintained so long as said building is maintained." In Chicago, a similar requirement Is made, but it is .stiffer in that it stipulates that the separated^ot must be under the same ownership as the main building or structure that causes the need for parking facilities. eligibility on current eligible lists f o r appointment . . . whose names have not been suspended because they w e r e not interested in indefinite appointments, and w h o are available f o r career-conditional appointments, may request that their name be restored to the eligible list as long as it is still being used." Y o u aren't a grammarian, although you blanch at bad grammar. Y o u ' d f o r g i v e it if you could undei-stand w h a t this means. M a y b e you'd better not apply f o r anything so complicated, you begin to think. W i t h some frequency, w e hear brave words about how government announcements are being simpliCied, so that ordinary per.sons can understand them. But the g o b b l e d e g o o k goes on and on. T h e examples can be multiplied, at all levels of g o v ernment. W h a t is an " a t t e n d a n t " in the Mental H y g i e n e Department? W h a t does he attend? W h y should not his title be "psychiatric a i d e , " a more adequate description of his duties? Or take the j a w b i e a k e r , "vocational rehabilitation counselor." This is so chilling that the person actually needing such help has no idea it's available. Does it mean j o b guidance? Does it mean job guidance f o r the handicapped? Or, how about that awe-inspiring institution, the State Division of Classification and Compensation? Ever try to explain that one to .someone not having an acquaintance with civil service? W h y not call it simply the Office of Job-Titles and Pay, or even more simply, the O f fice of State Salaries? Or take another misnomer — the Public Service Commission. E v e r y b o d y holding a public j o b is in the public service. So this agency's name is just confusing. It should be re-titled so that its name explains its functions — it should be called the Public Utility Commission. Then no one could be confused. There's a big j o b f o r some enterprising opponent of confusion, disorder, g o b b l e d e g o o k , and mumbo-jumbo in government. W h o ' s going to do it? Criminal Hospital Aides Upgraded; Matrons Next? t is good to report that attendants in the State's criminal hospitals are finally to be upgraded to the point they should have reached long ago — the same pay as prison guards. T h e r e never was any logic in paying them less. J. Eiarl K e l l y , Director of Classification, is simply recognizing a clear inequity when he says he will recommend the upgrading. N o w , what about the matrons in the women's penal institutions? T h e y have long contended that their duties are the equal of those p e r f o r m e d by the male prison guards. Presuming that this is true, then the principle of equal pay f o r equal work is being violated by paying them less. Significantly, the Correction Department has not supported the women in their claim. M a y we ask why not?. I Dr. Lesse To Remain at Psychiatric N E W Y O R K CITY, Jan. 31 — Dr. Stanley Lesse has recently completed his term of service at P.I. after three and one-half years as senior research psychlatiist.

Under Social Security Under the revised Social Security Law it becomes more practical for a State, or its communities, either to bring under Social Security those employees excluded from State retirement systems, or who were eligible but did not see fit to join such a system, and in addition to permit for the first time the coordination of State system benefits with those of Social Security. There is no project to merge the two, or to abandon State or local pension systems in favor of Social Security. Division of Opinion ITiere is a division of opinion among public employees on the advisability of such coordination.

T t M c d a j r , Hoover Commission Split On Asking U. 5. to Study Loyalty'Se€urity Programs W A S H I N G T O N , Jan. 31 — The Hoover Commission, studying ways of improving the administration of the U. S. government. Is split over the security-loyalty i.ssue. One sub-committee recommended that a commission be appointed by the government to study the subject, and report recommendations. But Arthur S. Plemming, former U. S. Civil Service Commissioner, now president of Ohio Weslyan University, and on leave from the university, serving the government in three capacities, prevented the main committee, which he heads, from affirming the recommendation of the sub-committee. Now the question goes before the full Hoover Commission. FK mmine Clamps Oown President Eisenhower ha.s declared that the appointment of such a commission, which several employee groups favor, is unnecessary. Knowing that. Mr. Flemming acted fast to avoid any embarrassment of the President. However, the Hoover Commission has an ample portfolio of security and loyalty cases, and many of its members are keen for the appointment of a commission. The sub-committee, or taslc force, is headed by Harold W. Doods, president of Princeton University. The task force's report was not released for publication. Only brief mention of the securityloyalty subject Is iricluded In the report, said a member of that sub-committee, as the report is comprehensive in scope of topics. However, the part dealing with loyalty and security risks among U. S. employees closely follows the rea.soning of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D., Minn.) and Representative Peter Prelinghuysen (R., N. J.). Mr. Flamming saw to it that all mention of security and loyalty programs was deleted. The impact of those subjects on personnel administration is recognized as a "hot potato," though the pedagogues express the idea in more cultural langviage. Meanwhile $125,000 is being sought by Democratic legislators for an inquiry Into the loyalty-security programs, against which employees complain that they give department heads leeway to fire employees as they see fit, without even a hearing, or the right to confront accusers, or, sometimes, even without knowledge of what is the accusation against them, except that they are suspected of Odd Facts About NYC Police Dept. Do you know that there are 267 horses In the N Y C Police Department, that the first patrolman (pardon us, "schoutflscal") was appointed in 1629. that the Police Department (in the 1870"s) was in charge of street cleaning? These sundry bits of historical information, as well as a fine compilation of current facts and figures, are contained In the latest Police Department publication, "Pacts," distributed for the information of the press, libraries, schools, civic organizations and public officials. a/Is, Jeirelry, Noveliiet J A P A N FOLK C R A F T New and Unusual Folk Crdf^ Jl'ST A R R I V E D FROM J A P A N W o n ' t Y o u V i s i t Our Displiiyfl 172 West 4th St., NYC.

John Kelly, Jr., assistant counsel for the CSEA, told the group that in his view a legal basis exists for obtaining pay Increases; and that legislation would be prepared to accomplish the purpose. Civic Employees Organizing Committee ( C I O ) , in its weekly bulletin to members, said: "All indications point to e x haustive inquiries in the very near future of the 'numbers game,' the techniques, the damages to Individuals and agencies, and the aid and comfort afforded thereby to the enemies of our way of life. W i t h all the fanfare attendant on a very few cases it dawns on many that there are undoubtedly scores of similiar unjustified dismissals hidden away in the records. T o bring those cases to the open and to rectify those as well as those already publicized Is viewed by proponents as the one major assignment to restore a sense of balance to the American scene.

A C T I V I T I K S O F RllfPL4»YKRS T H R O V O H O I J T Comment (Continued from Page 6) the 40-hour week or should advance first to the 44-hour week and later to the 40-hour one is naturally a matter for study and negotiations. Of course those working 44 hours must keep the same pay when going to 40 hours, just as they did when going from 48 to 44. What is termed a "sop" to the 40-hour people in holding out "the glowing promise that some day in the indistant future maybe the 40-hour week will be lowered still further to 35 or even 30 hours," is a di.stortlon of what I wrote. My remarks about the reduced work week for the future were based on tiie sober Economic Report of the Joint Congressional Committee to the President. Recent articles on that have appeared in newspapers we all read. I said nothing about a 30-hour week. However, what would be wrong with a 30-hour week, since it's brought up? Time may put it on our program sooner than we now think possible. I regret that my statement, "If they are underpaid for the work performed that is another matter," was misinterpreted as sarcasm. That statement was intended only to mean that employees now on the 40-hour week are not immediately involved in the 48 for 40 and the 44 for 40. In 1947 some employees whose week was 48 hours had their week reduced to 44 without pay reduction. At the same time ofBce workers and others who had been working 37 and one-half hours had their week lengthened to 40 hours, but did not receive added pay. A rank injustice, was it not? Furthermore, today the situation exists where, say, a stenographer in a State instiution works a 40-hour week and an employee with the same title, doing comparable work in an Albany ofRce, works a 371/2 hour week. They both receive the same salary. If I've been correctly informed, what should be done for the 40-hour institutional employees? I'm sure that the great majority of us who strive for the "48 and 44 for 40" will support just demands wholeheartedly. EDGAR W. GRAHAM Biggs Memorial Hospital Ithaca, N. Y. STATE PARK AIDES RESENT LONG HOURS Editor. The LEADER: Did the election of a Democrat as governor mean slave labor for the Long Island State Park Comnii.ssion employees? Emergency crews work twentyone straight nights, 8:00 P.M. until 4:00 A.M., without a day oft and no overtime. In emergencies of icy conditions or snow, the average man there works one hundred and flfty hours, in that twenty-one day period (as we did In the pa.st three weeks). If that is progress in working conditions in New York State, give us back the slave ages. We believe such conditions unjust and contrary to New York State labor laws. L.I.S.P.C. EMPLOYEES Babylon, L. I. FREE' INSURANCE CALLED MISNOMER Editor, The LEADER: Your issue of January 11, 1955, carried an article under an Albany dateline to the effect that "free insurance" on the Association's life insurance plan has been increased. As a former member of the insurance committee, I am of the opinion that "free insurance" is a misnomer. Actually, the claims, overhead and expenses are paid out of the premiums paid by the members of the Association who iiave applied for and secured the life insurance. The additional insurance is paid for by the excess premiums still remaining after all claim.s, overhead and expenses have been paid. S. BENDET New York City I T .

President Albert Kllllan conducted the meeting. A report was made by Miss Jeannette Finn, Department of Taxation and Finance, vice-president, who attended a meeting in Albany recently of the Attendance Rules Committee.

N E W Y O R K C I T Y , Jan. 31 — T h e highlight of this month's seminar at Psychiatric Institute Was the presentation of a 25-year pin by Dr. L. C. Kolb, director, .to Dr. Jacob Shatzky, head librarian, newly iwomotcd to senior librarian In medicine. P.sychlatrlc Institute is as proud ®f Dr. Shatzky, as It Is of Its library, for the two have become synonymous. When Dr. Shatzky came here in 1930, there was only ft small library with a few bundled books. The library has grown Since then to 26,000 volumes, in addition to some 1,800 doctors' «Ji.<i.sertations, reprints, and pamphlets concerning psychiatry and neurology. Today psychiatrists, doctors, and students from all over the world visit the library for study. Many visit and talk with Its colorful, witty librarian. There ifi hardly a book on psychiatric history which does not mention the Psychiatric Institute's library as a source of information. The institute is particularly proud of the Freud collection which Includes Sigmund Freud's private library, consisting of some 2,000 titles, many of them with marginal notes and coinments written by Freud. There are also 400 titles of books concerning dreams written in 11 languages and going back several hundred years. A recent aquisition is the oldest dream book in existence, written in Latin by Hieronymus Cardanus in 1562. T h e library also possesses the only Grerman edition of this same book, published in Basle, Switzerland, ki 1563. I t is hard to imagine the library under any other than Dr. Shatviky, who has made it as individual as himself. He studied in Vienna and came to the United States in 1923. He is the author of many books and reviews in psychiatry, medicine and neurology, and in 1954 was awarded a prize for his "History of Poland." Dr. Shatzky has travelled extensively, lecturing In South America universities. R e cently he went to South Africa to deliver lectures at the University of Johannesburg, His most famous work is " T h e Complete Dictionary of Psychiatry." Spirit of '76! The Department of Internal Medicine celebrated the 76th birthday of Harry Wolf with a surprise party. People from all over P.I. came in to congratulate him. Mr. Wolf received many gifts and a huge birthday cake for which enough candles could not be found. But the problem of blowing out 76 candles at once can be nothing to a man who has handled his years with as much vitality and spirit as Mr. W o l f ! Tickets are now on sale for the employees' party and dance to be held February 12. See your delegate and make plans to attend.

Marcy Hospital Golf Course M A R C Y , Jan. 31 — A nine hole golf coiflse adjacent to the hospital buildings, upon which much time and labor has been expended during the past five years, was completed in October and will be opened in the early summer and become an integral part of the recreational equipment of the hospital, available for use by patients and employees. A competition provided opportunity to submit names for the course. Approximately one hundred names were received. A representative committee, appointed by the director, selected the name "Crestwood Golf Course." In the near future it may be possible to finance and erect a club house. On December 30, 1954, a meeting of employees was held in the auditorium, having in mind the formation of a golf club. Dr. Warner acted as chairman and all departments of the hospital were represented. "Crestwood" Worth $25 A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and list of by-laws for the proposed club, this committee consisting of Dr. L. L. Bryant, chairman, Howard F. Kane, Eugene Markowski, Earl Timperlake and Ann Golden. Presentation was then made to Mr. Glenn Rorick of the sum of $25 as an award for submitting "Crestwood," the name chosen for the course. Another meeting will be held to review the constitution and bylaws and then proceed with election of officers for the club. Safety department and maintenance men of Marcy State Hospital met at the Yorkville alleys to match their skill at the keglers sport, but the law-enforcers came out at the short end of the total. However, the enforces point to the 168 point handicap as taking some of the sting out of their defeat. The scores: Maintenance (168 handicap), Bob Beers, 492; Ed Knamm, 543: Herm Perry, 385?
