Aid on Grievance Plan SYRACUSE, Feb. 7 — A message from Governor Averell Harriman. read at a meeting of the Central Conference of the Civil Service Employees Association by Chairman Alexander A. Falk of the State Civil Service Commission, called for hearings in all disciplinary cases affecting employees of the State and its localities, and improved grievance "machinery" in the State government. The Syracuse chapter of the Association was host to the Conference. The meeting of the Conference. and the chapter dinner at night, were held at the Hotel Onondaga. Maxwell Lehman, editor and co-publisher of The LEADER, waa the principal speaker at the chapter dinner. Governor Harriman's message follows in full: " I extend my warmest greetings to the members of the Civil Service Employees Association meeting tonight at Syracuse. I regret that I cannot be with you personally but am happy that the President of the Civil Service Commission is able to represent me. "Since my inauguration. I have had the opportunity to meet and work with a considerable number of civil servants. I had expected in advance that I would find the continuing staff of New York State Government to be composed of able, conscientious, <levotfcj people, but I have found this to be true in even greater measure than I had anticipated. I t is my hope to meet and get to know many more eiembers of the civil service, and you may be assured I am deeply concerned with your welfare and with development of the civil service as a satisfying career— because a government consists of the people in it and its competence and efficiency are in direct relation to the extent to which it can attract and hold in its service competent, efficient, and loyal employees. Insurance Fund Aides Move Into New Structure N E W Y O R K , Feb. 7 — In what has been described as the largest moving job in the last ten years, the State Insurance Fund last week-end shifted operations to a new building at 199 Church St., Manhattan. The Fund had been operating in cramped quarters in an office building at 625 Madison Avenue. Almost 1,600 employees of the fund left their desks in an old building at 5:00 on Friday, and on Monday morning reported at their new, shiny desks in downtown New York, The new home of the fund has every modern convenience for efficiency and employee comfort. T h e entire building is air-conditioned, has fluorescent lighting and sound proofing. Ample workSpace is provided for each employee and many of the ofvlces enjoy a panoramic view of the New Yorlt waterfront. Cafeteria Installed A cafeteria Is being inKstalled in the basement for the employees and escalators and new automatic elevators provide fast vertical transportation. Many safety factors have been built in to the building. All windows swing around on a vertical axis, making it possible to clean them from the inside. Claimants, many disabled or injured, will be received in a group floor reception room; to reduce winter hazards, steam pipes run underneath the sidewalk on Church Street, eliminating snow and ice danger. PSC In Too In addition to the Insurance Fund, which will occupy the 12 lower floors, the Public Service Commission is taking over the top three floors, and a private bank will occupy one corner of the ground floor. The Insurance Fund employees will be close to other State employees in the State buildings at 270 Broadway and 60 Centre Street and to many municipal and Federal offices. They also become close neighbors to The LEADER, only a half block •way, William B, Folger, executive director of the Fund, feels that the new building will more than pay for itself by providing working conditions which will enable the most efficient service to clients Ot the fund and to claimants. Modern Design T h e new building was designed lifter u long study of modern commercial insurance company edifices and was built to meet the requirements of an insurance organization, .However, the architects also planned with an idea of creating a landmark of lasting beauty.

Feb. 7—"Inadequate" was the term John P. Powers, president of the Civil Service Employees Association, used to describe the $500,000 appropriation in Governor Harriman's executive budget to take care of the wage inequities of State employees. Mr. Powers' full statement follows: " T h e proposed appropriation of $500,000 in the executive budget to correct state salary inequities is shockingly inadequate. " I t is generally recognized that the salary adjustment made last October was grossly insufficient. "Over 30.000 state employees have- filed appeals whicli are now being heard and considered by the Classification Division of the Civil Service Commission. "An appropriation of only $500,000 inevitably means that less than ten percent of these appeals can be allowed. " I t would seem obvious that this appropriation must be increased by at least two or three million dollars in the supplemental budget to bring about an adequate wage scal« for State em ployees." vations over the years, I have developed a deep belief in the merit principle in selection of government personnel and in the civil service system as the basic method of assuring the application of the merit principle in government positions. So my object will be to preserve and strengthen the civil service system in New York State. Cities Glaring Defect "One of the most glaring defects in the civil service system is the absence of a system extending throughout the government which will assure that an employee against whom serious charges have been brought will get a fair and adequate hearing. For many years, employees who are war veterans or volunteer firemen have been entitled to a hearing on any charges which might lead to severe penalties such as dismissal, demotion, or suspension. Other employees have not had that right. While some ajipointing officers have on their own authority accorded hearings to employees not covered by law. this practice has not been uniform. "Next week the President of the Civil Service Commission will have a bill introduced to make the right of a fair and adequate hearing univers-al for all employees, and at the same time to eliminate unnecessary and often repetitious hearings upon appeal at (Coiiliaued ou f a c e 16> Looking Inside (MILLION DOLLARS) EDUCATION AND STATE UNIVERSITY By H. J. BERNARD GENERAL GOVERNMENT AccorcSing to HoySe. And Not AccorcSing i-o Hoyle PL'BLIC EMPLOYEES continue to be increasingly alarmed over wanton firings. Nothing so undermines .an employee's morale as the feeling that the job security he thought he had, a-s a competitive employee, turns out to be only a dream, either because department heads abuse broad powers, or appellate bodies possess only ineffeclual ones. The competitive employee, accused in a disclipinary case, has the right to appeal an adverse finding to the Civil Service Commission. If the U. S. Civil Service Commission, deciding such an appeal, finds the employee was wrongfully discharged, it may order him reinstated, and grant him back pay. In New York State, and local governments within the State, the Commission may decide appeals, but has no authority to order reinstatement even when anything short of reinstatement Is a miscarriage of justice. It has no authority to grant back pay. It may clear the employee's name, and when the department that dismissed him refuses to take him back, may put his name on a preferred eligible list, from which he may be appointed to some other State jo"o, if he can find one, and a department head is willing to appoint him. Governor Harriman wants this cahnged. A bill drafted by the Preller Commission has been introduced in the State Legislature to give the State Civil Service Commission authority to order reinstatement, and also the employee the right to be represented by counsel, in appeals in disciplinary cases. T h e Civil Service Employee Association, which has been fighting for years for these remedies, is having its own bills introduced, on the subjects. It is heartening to see the Association getting such influential backing at this time, when it is so desperately needed. Defeat was the fate of such bills for several year^. in succession. An appellate body is appellate in naine only, but not in fact or in law, unless it has the power to decide, and to enforce its decisions. The United States Supreme Court, and the State Court of Appeals, would be almost powerless, did they not have the U. S. Marshal and the Sheriff as enforcing officers. Security and loyalty cases almost monopolize the news of loss of public job.s. Many such dismissals are marked by what employee groups call denial of basic rights. In the Federal government, particularly glaring cases have been exposed. On this score all seems to be more or less quiet on the State and local government fronts. Cases of unwarranted dismissal on other than loyalty of security grounds, however frail or premeditated the charges, occasionally arise in State and local governments, too. In NYC, the employees seem to have been singularly spared. A Matter of Public Concern Not only public employees, but the public itself, becomes alarmed over unjust removals. Our country is proud of the protection its affords the accused, even in criminal cases. We realize that the presumption of innocence, and the requirement for proof beyind a reasonable doubt, sometimes enables the guilty to go free. We have a sfiying, Better that all the guilty go free, than that one innocent person should suffer. In civil matters, as under administrative law, proof against the dependant is required only by a preponderance of evidence. The means preponderance against the defendant, not, as one might suppose from some recent public employee cases, preponderance of evidence of innocence! T H E EISENHOWER A D M I N I S T R A T I O N would like to choose its own appointees for responsible administrative positions now held by competitive employees, and has resorted to various devices lor doing so. At first it intended to switch 100,000 or so competitive jobs into Schedule C, one of the three divisions of the U. S. exempt class. The switch has been going on for nine months, but only some hundreds of jobs have been affected. Many competitive employees were moved into them. The question arose whether the protection of their competitive status went along with them, including safeguards against summary removal, and some protection in cases of layoffs. The retention preference of veterans is not involved. The Department of Justice decided that the competitive employee who made the switch could be dropped at will, and diMontinued the sei-vice of Leo A. Roth, who filled a post of attorney. Mr. Roth sued for reinstatement, saying that he was protected under the Lloyd-LaPollette Act of 1912. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld him. He has been reinstated, with $13,000 back pay. One would expect that if the court interpreted the Act as a f fording protection against the summaiy removal of employees who have competitive status, that the Commission would follow that course, now and in the future, unless Congress repealed or amended the Act. But the Commission has decided that any competitive employee transferred to a position in one of the tliree groups of the U. S. exempt class (called the "excepted" class in general), will not have such protection, with minor exceptions, if the transfer takes place after the day the President's executive order setting up the new job security plan went into effect. Says the Commission: "Beginning on January 23, 1955, where a proposed appointee to K Schedule A, B, or C position is serving in the competitive service, he shall not be appointed until he is advised in writing that acceptance of the excepted appointment will result in lUs leaving the competitive service. This will put the employee on notice that, upon acceptance of the excepted position, he will no l(jnger be under the protection of the Lloyd-LaFollette Act." The two immediately previous administrations did an adhesive job in making appointments to the competitive class, and in covering employees into the competitive class, but did it according to Hoyle, and not only without attempt usurp the powers ot Congress, but in some Instances under the authority of bills Congress gladly passed. The successor Administration sliould proceed altw according to Hoyle.

Shapiro's Paid Executive Proposal, Investigation 'New Look' Report, Read Staff Upto 37 At Capital Conference A L B A N Y , Feb. 7 — A request for a siz«able increase in the budget of the Office of the Commissioner of Investigation has caused speculation on the possibility that Democratic promises to investigate State departments and agencies may be carried out. Gov. Harriman has asked the Legislature to raise the appropriation for his commissioner of investigation, J. Irwin Shapiro, to $325,000, an Increase of $125,000 over last year. Has The Power The commissioner has the power, subject to approval of the Governor, to conduct investigations pertaining to public officers State departments and agencies. Mr. Shapiro says he is increasing his staff to 37. Under the Dewey administration, the office had 16 aides. In addition, an appropriation of $225,000 for the special Moreland Act Investigation Fund Is being sought, bringing proposed investigation funds to a total of $550,000. This later fund will be used, at least in part, to continue a study of the Workmen's Compensation costs. A L B A N Y , Feb. 7 — A resolution advocating a paid executive in the Civil Service A.ssociation was presented at a meeting of the Capital District Conference in Albany, January 27.

Civil Service Commission, which formerly gave a department leeway in passing over veterans, has now ruled that If the Commission finds a department's reason for passing over a veteran, to appoint a non-veteran. Is insufiiclent, the veteran may not be passed over. An amendment to the Veteran Preference Law was enacted in 1953, whereby a Federal agency may not pass over a veteran, to appKJint a non-veteran lower on the list, unless the department's reasons proved satisfactory to the Commission. Anti-Strike Law Opposed By Kaplan Organizations of veterans complained to the Commission that the amendment was being honored as much in the breach as in the observance, because the Commission did not make the prohibition effective. On reconsideration, the Comml.ssion reversed i t self. Tlie Commission acknowledged that the language of the law does require stronger protection of veterans' appointment possibilities. Henceforth agencies must not merely "give careful consideration" to the eligible veteran, but appoint him. unless the sufficiency for otherwise is affirmed oy the Commission.

Warned of Vets' Protecf-ion In Exempt Jobs A L B A N Y , Feb. 7 — In an opinion sent to all State departments and agencies, Attorney General Jacob K . Javits discussed the types of jobs in which war veterans and exempt volunteer firemen are protected against removal. The protection Is afforded by Section 22 of the Civil Service Law, which he construed at the request of O.scar M. Taylor, former president of the State Civil Service Commission. State Civil Service and veteran organizations. Of particular importance is the protection afforded to holders of exempt jobs. Mr. Javits said that exempt, and even some uncla.ssified employees, like teachers, are protected. Many of these jobs were filled under the preceding Republican Administration. Korean Vets Not Protected Mr. Javits found that veterans of the Korean conflict period are not protected, but he favors amendment of the law to include them, and promised to support any such amendment. Mr. Javits did not say whether he would favor a retroactive amendment, but presumably would on the theory that the purpose is to correct an oversight of the State Legislature. Where the benefit again.st removal applies, it applies to a veteran regardless of the State of which he was a legal resident at the time of induction. Thus the protection is broader than in the case of veteran preference in examinations, where additional points are now accorded. T o gain preference exams, veterans must have been residents of New York State at the time of induction. Nature of Job Counts Mr. Javits emphasized that Where distinction is to be made on the basis of the type of job held, it is to be based on the actual duties, and that the title Itself is not controlling. Calling a man a deputy when he is not really a deputy, would not exclude him from the benefits, if his position was really a subordinate one. Mr. Javits found. The powers and duties would be controlling. Mr. Javits was deciding when an appointing officer has the right to dismiss a war veteran or exempt fireman, without a hearing and without charges. T o the question, "Does the protection apply?" Mr. Javits gave, hi substance, the following answers: flict, unless they qualify as exempt volunteer firemen. " T h e available cases indicate that the courts would not regard the term 'World War 11' as u.sed in the subdivision (of Section 22) as covering the period of Korean conflict." The statute does not specifically mention the Korean conflict. Wide Importance The opinion is of state-wide importance. Not only does the opinion apply to jobs in the State service, but to those over which local civil service commissions have jurisdiction. The exempt firemen are protected, the opinion sets forth, if they hold positions by appointment or employment in the service of the State, a city, county, town, village, or other political division of the State, or of a municipality, or in the public school service, or in any public or special district, or authority, commission, board, or any other branch of the public service. Text on Exempt Jobs On the big question, "Is or Is Not an Exempt Class Position Protected?." Mr. Javits says: " T h e duties of the position, not its title, determine whether it is a 'subordinate' position under the protection of the subdivision or whether it has the status of an 'independent office,' private secretary. cashier or deputy not puotected by the subdivision. It is frequently necessary to make a detailed analysis of the powers and duties of a position before such a determination can be made. "For example, a position where the holder thereof (1) is empow- 8 More NYC Tests on Way The N Y C Civil Service Commission last week took the first step toward holding eight more exams.

As a specific instance of the applicability of this rule, the position of 'assistant attorney general' is. In my ppinion; a 'deputy' position for the purposes of the subdivision, although the word 'deputy' is not included in its title. A position carrying a title which includes the word 'deputy,' but where the holder thereof is not empowered by law to act for or on behalf of the principal officer or is not given duties by law which in effect make him a deputy, is not regarded as a 'deputy position' for the purposes of the subdivision. A principal officer may not, by the mere assignment of powers and duties, convert a subordinate position into an 'independent office' or that of a 'deputy'." " T h e provisions of Public Officers Law, section 9, do not serve to convert into true 'deputy' positions those which carry the title but not the necessary powers or duties granted by law; for the purposes of the subdivision, section 9 relates only to true 'deputy' positions which have such powers or duties under other provisions of law." The foregoing excerpt from the opinion argues that a veteran who serves as a deputy is a deputy, though his title is not deputy, and he may be dismissed at will.

S. cities adopted codes that set minimum standards for housing. The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Cfficlata says that the outlook is for more codes in 1955. The reason for thifl is not only that cities have found housing codes a major tool in halting deterioration or blight. It is also that the Federal Housing Act of 1954 stipulates that before a community can qualify foe federal aid for urban renewal it must show that it has a workable program for a full-scale approach to community rebuilding. And on* sign of "workability" is whether the community has adequate codes and ordinances setting standards for health, sanitation, and safety; The report noted that housing codes in general set standard* that fall into three categories: (1) those dealing with required facllU ties, such as lighting, ventilation, garbage disposal, and bath and toilet accommodations; (2) those dealing with maintenance, such M keeping the house painted or making sure the fire escapes are la working order; and (3) those dealing with occupancy, such as provisions limiting the number of persons that may live in a room. AN HONOR system in toll paying is on trial at three of the ila ramps of New Jersey s Garden Slate Parkway. The system is in effect between midnight and 8 a.m. when there is not enough business t « justify keeping a collector on duty. Thus far it seems to be workinf out, according to word received by the American Public Works M sociation. During those hours, a sign over the box where the collector ordinarily stands says: "We Trust Our Public. Please Deposit 10 Cent* Toll Here. Thank You. New Jersey Highway Authority." GOVERNMENT DOCITMENTS SF'OllLD BE CLEARER Editor, The LEADER: I was delighted with your editorial "Gobbledegook, Anybody?" I've had to fill out applications lor Federal jobs, and if anybody can do that without three lawyers at his elbow, he's good. I've read examination announcements that made as much sense as iome of the queen's talk in Alice in Wonderland. Your suggestion for more plain talk in government documents was a breath of fresh air. Now how do you get them to take your advice? M. R. BOLAND I New York City 10 CITIES SWITCH FROM FIRE BOX ALARMS MEDFORD, Ore., population 17,305, has raised to ten the number of U. S. and Canadian communities that have given up street-corne* boxes that turn in fire alarms when their handles are pulled down. Medford joins with Miami. Fla.; Phillipsburg, N. J.; and Solvay^ N. Y., as cities that now turn in fire alarms via a telephone system. Among cities to consider adopting a telephone alarm system i* Syracuse. Medford officials said they chose a system of 33 public telephones for reporting police, fire, and other emergency calls for three main reasons: (1) Spoken communication means more accurate reporting of fires; location ^nd severity can be described. (2) The telephones can be used for types of emergency" calif other than fires. (3) The system can double as a call box system for policemea on patrol to use in contacting headquarters. The new telephones are mounted on pedestals in the central busine.ss district and on poles in outlying packing house and sa«. mill districts.

Levitt has never forgotten it. Will Study Paycheck Idea Comptroller Levitt will study "with an open mind" the proposal for paychecks every two weeks in place of the present twice-a-month practice. He is willing to work for changes in the retirement setup, "to make retirement more meaningful to e m ployees." When he has time, he occasionally goes to the opera with his close friend Ben Fine of the New York Times. He plays golf for recreation. He has worked for aid to retarded children. His interest in education began with his desire to be a teacher. After graduating from Columbia College, in 1921, he waited for school principals to beat a path to his door. Nobody ever made him an olTer. So he had to finish a law course. And there you are. O. S.—Second Regional Office. 0 S. Civil Service Commission. 641 Washington Street. New York 14. N. Y.

Then he adds, "Any employee in my shop is entitled to look at me as his champion . . . not passively, but actively. I consider it a duty to see that the employee gets everything he deserves, in terms of promotions and other advantages. If I see a secretary earning, say, $3,000 a year, and think she's worth more, I would not be fulfilling my obligation to her if I just send in a request for a pay increase. I have to do everything possible to find ways of getting the increase for her." He learned this concept while he was a young captain in the Army, on maneuvers In the early 30's.

'TTie Democrats, in general, are striving for a higher raise, 10 percent, whereas the Eisenhower Administration offers 5 for the classified service, with the curing of inequities bringing the average effect on payroll to about 7 percent, and similar treatment of the postal service. However, the 5 would come first, and anything extra would not be general, but applied to individual titles, as the results of reclassification. In the postal service their recla.ssification will be called a job survey, but it will be a reclassification, just the same. That there is need for one, is generally admitted, also that outside "excerpts" do anything save a good poor job at such surveying. Glimpse at Prospects The prospects for retroactive benefits of any pay raise are dim if not zero. The raise might take effect for the pay period succeeding the one in which it is signed by the President. Pop-Up Bill While there is much fault-finding with what the Eisenhower Administration is trying to do about pay, particularly from unions that opposed him in the Presidential election, the President's followers point out that the pay increase, if not as large as the employees desire, is part of a "package," which includes last year's significant fringe benefits, and more fringe benefits, like health insurance, in the works this year. The Post Office Department is trying to guide the postal pay increase thinking of Congress, but with poor results. A bill suddenly introduced at its request would provide pay increases, along Administration-backed lines, and introduce so-called reforms in the job structure against which unions are strongly opposed. The situation looks better in the Senate, from the employees' viewpoint, than in the House. A raise is coming, and the only question is. How much? Some « § those opposed to the President .^ajr the question is. How little? The Senate committee will report out favorably the bills for t h « 10 percent raise and postal increases comparable to the Administration plan. The House Committee likely will report out both Eisenhower Administration pay increase bills, even though the Democrats have a majority, fo» the Democratic chairman, Murray, is that economy-minded. Union's Comment The Government and Civic Employees Organizing Committee, CIO, analyzes the situation in .senate and House as follows: "Senate — True enough the 13member committee will clear S-1 (postal raise) very quickly, as well as S-67 (classified raise), inasmuch as six spon.sors of the bills. Chairman Johnston (D., S.C.), Hennings (D., Mo.), Pastone 'D., R.I.), Neely (D.. W.Va. ), Neuberger iD., Ore.) and Langer <R., N. Dak.), need only one assist to send the bill to the floor, retroactivity (to veto-day) and all. Actually they have two, pos.sibly three, colleague.? on the committee who view 10 percent mandatory. But on the floor a different story. What appears to be a straight party issue—the Ike-men pressing for the Adminisfration crumbs, the majority party for the 10 percent — rings a bell on the voting record of the last session of the 83rd. And the bell doe.«;n't sound good. Two defections from each side of the aisle can be expected. but they cancel out, and thus produce a vote of 49 to 47. There is a remote possibility of one, just one, additional GOPer living up to now-forgotten party platitudes and providing a 50-46 count. But there is also danger, considerable danger, of some Dems (additional to the two above) viewing with alarm extra pennies for payroll. Three, "possibly two of those defections from the ranks and S-1 is through. It's a nip-andtuck deal in the Senate — but there's probably as little about which to worry as to cheer at this stage. Charles Hargodon, Yonkers DE, Passes Away YONKERS, Feb. 7 — Charles Hargadon, a senior employment interviewer in the Yonkers office of the Division of Employment, State Department of Labor, died last week. He was a member of the Division of Employment chapter, New York City and Suburbs, Civil Service Employees Association, and of Loree Post 3083, Valentine Rod and Gun Club. The CSEA chapter was represented at the funeral by Marie Doyle, Grace Nulty, William Burke, and George Moore. A funeral Mass was said at the Roman Catholic Church of St. Denis, Yonkers. Interment was made in St. Mary's Cemetery. Mr. Hargadon, who was known for his charities and affability, is survived by his wife, Margaret D. Margadon, two sons, Thomas P. and Charles W., and four grandchildren. The two sons are veterans of both World War I I and the Korean conflict. The father was a World War I veteran. Situation in House "House — Over in the House committee, though, a different story. Chairman Murray and ranking minority member Roes are committeed to the Administration pitch — peanuts .— and the ten-percenters barely double that (to four) in relationship to the 25-member Committee. Proceedings will not move as fast on this side, but the outcome is hardly in doubt — no 10 percent, no retroactivity. Bill, thus reported out, the real battle begins. It will be much more difficult than on the Senate to pin-point in advance probable or possible defections, individual as well as total, but even more difficult will be tacking on to the Committee version the amendments necessary to match S-1. There'll be tremendous hue and cry, with Administration laddies well in the lead, and we'll be treated to almost everything in the book except a repeat or the Senatorial suggestion that patriotic Federal employees should forego any increase at this crucial time. (Crucial, let the advisor be advised, describes also the outlook of Federal employee families every pay day these past few years)." The House Judiciary Committee reported out of bill increasing judicial and legislative salaries to $25,000. The Senate Judiciary Committee did likewise.

Nurses Are Active At Willard State A L L P U B L I C EMPLOYEES should have a right to a hearing on stated charges, and representation by counsel or union of their owa choice. Veterans have such rights; non-veterans are Indebted t « veterans for showing the way. T h e distinction between veterans and non-veterans, in this regard, never was valid, and is based on the excuse that equalization would impose too much of a burden on a department. But when one has to defend his fitness to hold a job, the principles of justice should carry greater weight than the service ofdepartmental convenience. L i f e must not be made easier for officials at the expnse of even accusd employees. Laws Should Be Liberaliied The Federal and State laws should be liberalized, to put all employees on a basis of equal opportunity todefend themselves, and to appeal. Merely serving stated charges, and giving an employee an opportunity to answer them, is not enough. When one's job is at stake, the non-veteran Is entitled to the same safeguards as a veteran or volunteer fireman. Harriman's Messege (Continued from Page 1) the Civil Service Commission level. That bill will have my support. Reinstatement Bill " T h e bill will also correct a related deficiency in the present law concerning the process of appeals to the Civil Service Commission in disciplinary actions. At the present time, if an employee is found by the Civil Service Commission after an appeal to have been improperly dismissed, the Commission may direct that he be transferred to a similar position or his name put on a preferred list. Sometimes, unfortunately, there is no similar position and he is left without a job, because the Commission lacks the power to order his reinstatement. Justice demands that if he should not have been dismissed in the first place, then he should go back to work immediately. Tlierefore, should have power to direct imthe Civil Service Commission mediate reinstatement of an employee to his old job, where an appropriate transfer is not possible. This will make the appeal process really meaningful. " I n my annual message to the Legislature, I listed a number of other changes which are needed in our civil service legislation.

New Grievance Plan " W e are agreed, I think, that in the public interest strikes by public employees cannot be tolerated, but this makes it all the more essential that there be clearly defined and effective means for settling disputes and grievances. In consultation with your Association and other interested groups, we are at work now on an executive order that will establish the grievance machinery we need, I want a system that works, as I know you do. W e will try this out. If it is not quite right, we will i m prove it. And when it is right, we may then want to put it in the form of legislation. " W e are proceeding to correct inequities in the salary schedules, and my budget contains a recommended appropriation of $500,000 for that purpo.se. As quickly as po.sslble, we will move ahead on health and medical plans, additional training programs, and other matters relating to the welfare of State employees.
