G O V E R N O R HARRIMAN MAKES A POINT A B O U T CIVIL SERVICE
Governor Harriman, alternately in jovial and
serious mood as he addressed delegates of the
C i v i l Service Employees Association, is caught
here by the photographer as he rams home a point
about labor relations machinery in State government. He told the group that he is constructing
a new executive order dealing with this matter.
He announced that a sum of $500,000 was in the
EMPLOYEE
budget to take c a r e of changes under the new
State salary plan; that he was recommending extended unemployment insurance coverage for
State workers; and that more "higher" jobs must
be made available to competent civil service
aides. He also pledged his faith in the merit system. Seen on the dais as the Governor spoke are,
left to right: Paul Appleby, Budget Director; Vir-
ginia Leathem, chairman of the C S E A social committee; and John E. Holt-Harris, J r . , assistant
counsel, who acted as toastmaster. The Governor
also humorously jibed the GOP-controlled Legislature, many of whose members were in the audience. He advised them to keep up their present
course of action. "It's just fine for the Democrats." Governor Harriman said.-

Westchester Work-Week
Looking Inside Cut From 40 to 35 Hours
By H. J. BERNARD
W H I T E P L A I N S . March 21 —
Westchester County has adopted
the uniform 35-hour week for all
clerical and administrative employees. T h e new work-week, replacing the 40-hour week, goes into
effect on April 1.
T h e Westchester Board of Supervl,sors took the action last week
W O R K I N C ; F O R Federal, State or local government has its com- on the recommendation of County
pensations. The pay is not always comparable to that offered in pri- Executive James D. Hopkins and
Personnel Director Denton Pearvate employ, but is slowly moving in that direction.
."'all, Jr. T h e decision came after
Meanwhile public employees in underpaid positions, like the N Y C the Westchester County Competipolicemen and firemen, and thousands in State employ who are ap- tive Civil Service Association had
pealing their salary rates established as oi April 1 last, are striving
hard to bring public pay up to parity.
In the case of uniformed forces, there is no ratable basis of
comparison. The jobs do not exist in private industry. Even the
comparison of pay with that accorded by other branches of government, and in other locations, is not always valid, because the conditions, and the living costs, are different.
When certain jobs become hard to fill, private industry has the
jump, because of its full freedom, its fast hiring, and its energetic
outbidding. Then public jurisdictions, as now, have difficulty in hiring scientific, professional, and technical help of the desired calibre.
But even that finally forces the hand of government, which cannot
forever remain the underdog.

presented a case for the shorter
week. Richard Flinn, former president of the group, had been active
in furthering the campaign. T h e
group is a unit of the Civil Service
Employees Association.
9 to 5 Day
The Board of Supervisors directed all County offices to be open
Monday through Friday from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., except the Bureau
of Elections, whose hours are fixed
under the election laws. The present hours are 8:45 to 5:30.
Affected by the change are 1200
clerical employees. An additional
3600 aides remain on the 40-hoiir
week schedule. Additional studies
will be made, however, to determine what other departments and
employees can come under the
shortened work-schedule.
Officers of the County Clerk and
Surrogate will remain open on
Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon,
"until a further study can be made
of the services rendered by those
departments."
T h e action sets a precedent,
placing Westchester at the f o r e front of county units in this m a t ter.

again brought up. T h e Commissioner said that he would look into
certain specific conditions outlined
by the committee.
Promotion and educational opportunities were discussed during
the meeting. The Commissioner
reported that the department is
evaluating the overall picture and
will continue to explore the use of
practical nurses wherever possible
in the institutions.
40-Hour Week
The executive committee again
asked for consideration of the 40hour week, holidays falling on Saturday and the 37 y2-hour week for
office personnel in mental hygiene
institutions.
Dr. Pense pointed out that the
solution to each of these problems
was a matter that affected not
only mental hygiene personnel but
thousands in other State departments, and involved financial consideration as well as amendment
of the present Civil Service rules
and regulations.
, .
The Association expressed interest in conducting a survey of its
own members and other employees willing to participate to determine how many now working a
44- or 48-hour week would be
willing to accept a 40-hour week
with loss of overtime pay. Dr.
Pense stated that the department
has no objection to such a survey.
Night Duty
Committee members asked for
consideration of a pay differential
for employees on evening and
night duty. This was followed by
a discussion of the various factors
involved.
T h e committee stated that some
of the ward employees were concerned about the numbers available for ward coverage particularly on some night shifts.
There was discussion of assignment problems and the budgetary
implications. The department will
look into the specific areas outlined by the committee.
Tlie employees representatives
recommended that the department
investigate the possibility of eliminating the mandatory meal requirement for cooking personnel.
Attention was directed to inquiries
made in several restaurants where
employees could take a meal w i t h out paying for it.
Dr. Pense explained that the
mandatory deduction for one meal
is a state ruling affecting all food
service employees. He asked the
group to supply him with further
information on the restaurant survey.
Uniform Allowance
•Also discussed were the questions
of uniform allowance and free toll
for employees of Manhattan State
Hospital. Dr. Pense said that bills
were under consideration in the
present Legislature on these problems. He reported that the department had previously endeavored
unsuccessfully to work out some
equitable arrangement for the employees of Manhattan State Hospital.
T h e matter of laundry facilities
for institution workers, tlie need
for summer uniforms for dining
attendants and prompt issuance o l
W - 2 Forms also were discu.ssed
and .suitable action will be taken.
Seniority
The group again emphasized the
need for lockers. There was considerable discussion of the ways in
which seniority might be used in
determining shift assignments, v a cation and passdays.
T h e executive committee of the
Association present at the meeting
included F. J. Krumman, Pre,sident, Syracuse State School: John

A L B A N Y , March 21 — " A l l
changes should be charted now."
That is the approach of J. Earl
Kelly, State Director of Classification and Compensation, to the
question of correcting State salary
inequities.
Mr. Kelly, in reply to specific
questions from The LEADER, revealed this approach to the matter
of salary reallocations:
" W e shall propose correction of
all inequities found by our review
of .some 900 salary appeals."
How Much .Money Is There?
Mr. Kelly added that the question of how much money was
available in the 1955-56 State budget would not be a determining
factor in recommendations
he
would make on salary reallocations.
Under State law. Mr. Kelly is
charged with determining the proper title and pa> classifications
for State jobs, subject to approval
of the State Budget Director.
Under special appeal procedures
set up after the Legislature last
year approved a new salary schedule for State workers, any reallocations approved this time will
be retroactive to last April 1.
It is estimated between 50,000
and 60,000 Slate employees are included in the review of State salary
allocations, being conducted by
Civil Service. A total of 731 hearings were conducted, the last hearing having been held March 15.
Governor Harrinian has announced that his administration
hopes to take care of the most
serious inequities in State salaries
by an appropriation of $500,000 in
the State budget for 1955-56.
Another $500,000 is available under
Chapter 1 of the Laws of 1955.
I t has been estimated by the
d v U Service Smployees Associa-
tion that at least t l V t million b
required immediately to
finance
the correction of inequities.
Recommended changes in State
salaries are being sent this week
to Budget Director Paul H. Appleby. Pinal decisions are not e x pected much before April 15.

CSEA DELEGATES SET T A S K S AND C O A L S FOR COMING MONTHS
Governor Harriman and John F. Powers, president of the Civil Service Employees Association, are seen in eornest conversation as they sit on the dais. Mr. Powers apprised th*
Governor of some of the problems currently bothering public employees, and advised him
of the program being pursued by CSEA, which represents more than 60,000 aides.
During the CSEA dinner, this serious-minded group was
snapped by the LEADER photographer. They are, from the
top down; Margaret Fenk, Utica State Hospital; Claude
Rowell, Rochester State Hospital, president of the Western
Conference: Clifford C . Asmuth, representing the Executive
Department on the C S E A Board of Directors: F. Earl Struke,
president of Rochester chapter; and Melba Binn, delegate
from Rochester. The group typifies the delegates who cam*
from all parts of the State-^Niagara to Suffolk—and deliberated the problems of State and local public employees.

What We Learned From the Pay Appeals
I T M I G H T BE profitable to review for a moment the program
of the salary re-allocation hearings which have just ended. It was a
feat of strength and siciil for both the Civil Service Employees Association and the staff of the Compensation Division. The full staffs of
both organizations were worlcing to the utmost to meet the rigorous
schedules of some weeics when there were 14 and 15 hearings a day.
There were many positive things which we in the Association
learned during these-hearings. One of them strengthened our Icnowledge of the infinite variety of jobs which exist in the New Yoric
State service. Another was the increased respect for the quality of
the individual civil servant. The employee was in all ways articulate
about his job. He knew its details and its effect upon the community.
He was able to dramatize its functions and maice it live. At no time
did one ever get the impression that the civil servant was in thought

Changes Sought in State
Rules Governing Vacations,
Time-off, Legal Holidays
A L B A N Y , March 21 — A 10point alteration in the State's attendance rules has been recommended by a special committee of
the Civil Service Employees A s sociation.
T h e proposals are:
1. Remove f r o m Article I X of
Attendance Rules for institutional
employees the requirement that
death be Imminent Insofar as
leave with pay for sickness or
death in immediate family is concerned. Employees generally feel
that this requirement is unfair
and indefinable in many ways,
ways.
2. T h a t the Attendance Rules
provide for payment in a lump
sum of accrued vacation, overtime
and sick leave on retirement or
separation from service, and that
this payment be made to the R e tirement F'und beneficiary in case
the employee becomes decea.sed
while in service. I t is f e l t that
this would encourage a better attendance
record
of
employees
generally and would result in
more just and uniform treatment
of all employees.
3. T h a t the Attendance Rules be
amended to prohibit the "split
s h i f t " in State service.
4. T h a t the Attendance Rules
provide a uniform 37'/2 hour week
f o r all ofTice employees In both
the administrative
departments
and State institutions.
5. A m e n d the Attendance Rules
relative to time off f o r sickness
or death in immediate f a m i l y to
include brother-in-law and sisterin-law of married, as well as unmarried employees. T h e present
rules cover only unmarried e m ployees in this respect.
Holidays with P a y for Per Dicms
6. All legal holidays with pay
f o r per diem and seasonal e m ployees.
7. T h a t time off with pay be al-
lowed employees for necessary attendance at their naturalization
ceremonies.
8. T h a t a uniform allowance for
religious observance
be
established.
9. T h a t credit f o r time spent in
traveling on official business be
allowed.
10. T h a t employees who regularly work on a 5-day per week or
5'2 day per week basis be given
the -same guarantee in Attendance
Rules as to number of days off
duty with pay each year as is accorded
institutional
employees
who work regularly the 6-day
week, so that departmental e m ployees do not lose time off by
reason of holidays falling on S a t urdays.
Survey SuRgestcd
I t was also recommended that
the State Civil Service Commission survey the various State departments to determine the v a r i ous systems in effect re penalization of employees for tardiness
for the purpose of effecting a d i s continuance of such systems which
result in over-drastic penalizations for tardiness.
A proposal was made to the
Board of Directors that careful
consideration be given of the possibility of the Attendance Rules
being
amended
to
provide
a
"personal business l e a v e " with pay
to replace time off now granted
f o r various reasons including sickness or death in immediate f a m i l y ,
dental and medical visits, and r e ligious observance.

'Free Uiders'
"Our committee cannot stress
too strongly the necessity of h a v ing an active and complete chapter membership committee to keep
after these non-members who are
riding free.' Always remember
that any chain is as strong as its
weakest link—keep your chapter
strong—the success of the Association in securing improvement

strength.

W h a t is the point of appeal procedures if an amount
placed in the budget prior to the appeals is in no w a y
affected by the appeals? H o w e v e r tight the budget, public employees must not be, in effect, taxed more than
other citizens to make up f o r the stringency. A n adequate
sum f o r the purpose of correcting inequities should be included in the supplemental budget. Each appeal should be

increase is required, the employee ought not to be penalized in order to fit a prior budget figure that had no realistic basis.

A 35-Hour Week
Goes Info Effect
' X ^ a k i n g cognizance of a continuing nation-wide moveA
ment, Westchester County has reduced the w o r k w o r k - w e e k of clerical and administrative employees to 35,
f r o m the previous 40. T h e r e is plenty of evidence that such
a reduction will not cut efficiency, but may even improve
it. T h e move has the further advantage of making government w o r k increasingly desirable, thus attracting superior
personnel to public jobs.
W^estchester County deserves plaudits f o r this action,
as does the County employees' association, which presented a p o w e r f u l case f o r its adoption.
T h e move sets an important precedent. I t should be
quickly f o l l o w e d by other units of government.
Making the Title
Reflect the Job
riminal hospital attendants at Dannemora and Matteawan seek a change of name that would more accurately reflect their w o r k and status. L i k e the prison guards,
they wish to be known as correction officers. This seems to
us a f a i r request; and when, ultimately, the title of prison
guards is changed to correction officer, the criminal hospital attendants at the t w o institutions should be included
in the change. T h e y serve in the Correction, not the Mental
H y g i e n e Department. T h e y have long f o u g h t f o r the same
pay as prison guards, and J. Earl K e l l y , director of classification, has expressed his opinion that their case is just.
C
Justice would be served by public recognition and
placement of the men f u l l y in the c a t e g o r y of correction
officers.

Comment
A P O I N T OF V I E W
ON P A Y APPEALS
Editor, T h e L E A D E R :
T h e hearings on appeals f o r
higher State salary grades, being
conducted by the Classification
and Compensation Division, seem
like a good idea on the surface,
but let's take a closer look.
T h e Division has been in existence since 1947. I n a variety of
official literature, the statement
is made that the Division makes
surveys f r o m time to time to keep
all titles in their proper salary
grades. T h a t Is just what the D i vision was established for.
One would think the Division's
stall would have all
available
classification material on hand,
that all titles would be in their
proper salary grades, and that
there would be little need f o r appeals to the Division. A n d yet,
many appeals have been presented over the years.
I n 1953 the salary study was
made, and the Director of the D i vision stated there would be f e w
appeals as a result of the study.
His estimate was f a r out of proportion, since employees In about
half of the titles in State service
are appealing f o r higher salary
grades. These appeals are not
"pressure" appeals; they are appeals f o r proper salary grades
which have been denied.
Representatives of every title
which is being appealed should
also enter protests on the short
time given f o r each hearing. I n
most cases, one hour has been
allotted f o r two, three and four
titles. T h a t means 15 to 20 m i n utes f o r each title.
H o w much material can be p r e sented in that time, and what
impression can be made?
Also,
after
the material
Is
heard, what consideration will be
given to it? W i l l surveys be made
to determine the truth of the m a terial; will honest point-by-point
comparisons be made or just
hurried "desk audits"?
A n d suppose that upgradings
are recommended, what if not
enough money is available to pay
f o r the upgradings? W i l l loyal
State employees be penalized by
non-payment of upgradings, or
will they be given credit until
such time as payment can be
made?

I was pleased to read that the

a resolution urging the state legislature to set a 1,000 man m i n i mum f o r the City Transit Police

DOGS JOIN POLICE FORCE
F O U R police dogs in Dearborn, Mich., are police dogs in deed M
well as in name. T h e city council there bought f o u r G e r m a n sheiH
herds to use on police patrols.
Reports f r o m London, E n g l a n d — w h e r e dogs have been used in
police work since 1948—say that the dogs were so helpful in park
patrol that in 1950 they were assigned to all police districts, although
park patrol remained their chief duty. T h e y were found to be
especially good in discouraging pickpockets and pursesnatchers.

L E W I S B U R G , Tenn., population 5,164, saves up to 10 per cent
in buying new equipment because it pays cash.
Lewisburg's complete line of equipment makes it possible for t h e
town to do much of its own* curb and gutter work and street and
sewer construction, instead of paying outside firms to do it.
P R E S E R V I N G H I S T O R I C A R E A S SEEN G O O D F O R BUSINESS
T h e A m e r i c a n Society of Planning Officials says that there are
three reasons that communities should safeguard areas where significant events once took place. Such action m a y :
1. Bring new business in the f o r m of tourist trade.
2. K e e p the lessons of history alive and provide a link with the
past. I n the Beacon Hill area of Boston, Mass., f o r instance, n e i g h borhood representatives have called attention to the f a c t that the
city is in danger of losing some landmarks that recall its leadershijt
in the founding of the nation.
3. Save areas f r o m declining into slums. Some old sections can be
made economically useful today without destroying their historic
character.
As an example of the disappearance of historic sites, the society
points to New Y o r k City's Greenwich Village, long the gathering
place of writers, painters, and other artists, many of whom lived
to make a lasting mark in American history. T h e r e , efforts to keep
old landmarks have largely failed and spots like M a r k T w a i n ' s home,
and the Brevoort and L a f a y e t t e — b o t h meeting and eating places f o r
artists—have been torn down to be replaced by new buildings.

Prison
Guards?
T H E N E W S P A P E R S the past week have given a big play to the
proposed new pay schedules f o r New Y o r k City police and firemen;
City correction officers get about the same. T h e proposed pay is
$5,440 a year. John Carton of the P B A , and H o w a r d P. Barry, president of the U F A , immediately called the pay "disappointing." T l i e y
are right, the New Y o r k City police and fireman pay in the depression
years of 1939-40 was $3,000 per year. I n order to maintain the same
living standard today, the pay should be at least $6,000. W e in S t a t e

176 chapters in the organization
—136 In the State Division, 40 in

The

approval of revisions in the c o n stitutions and by-laws of nine
State and one county chapters.
Application f o r the creation of
a new State-wide chapter f o r m o tor vehicle license examiners was
tunred down by the Board of D i rectors, the report states.
I n the County Division, one new
chapter was approved — Lewis

three county chapters be revoked

this topic, f o l l o w :
R A Y M O N D P. B R A N D T of T h e
St. Louis Post-Dispatch — M r .
President, there seems to be some
confusion
about your
position
about allowing a person to be confronted with his accuser in a governmental case.
T h e Department of Justice says
that when you said a man shall be
entitled to be confronted with his
accuser, he should know who it
was. and so forth.
T h e y said that was only f o r
criminal cases. I got the idea it
was for the security cases, also.
A. — " W e l l , I think — no, I be-
lieve, there are certain cases. Mr.
Brandt, where you couldn't possibly bring out all of your accusers,
for the simple reason that you m a y
work f o r a number of years to get
people in places where they can
look f o r these things that, by their
very nature, are de.structive of the
United States system and of the
welfare of the United States of
America.
" N o w , those people you cannot
destroy.
" I f in the course of their operations they bring up information,
remember this, you are not determining anything about the legal
rights or the application of the
Bill of Rights to this man's case.
W h a t you are trying to determine,
is he fit to work for the United
States Government.
"Should you take the responsibility of saying, in spite of the fact
that we cannot put the man. the
accuser, up in f r o n t of this man
and let him cross-examine, should
we continue him in a sensitive
position?
" I do believe this: I do believe

One of the important values of the meeting was the interchange of informotion and ideas at such informal discussions among employees from various departments, various parts of the State, and various units of government. Methods that worked for some units are thus found to be applicable
in ot'hers as well. Problems solved in some department offer suggestions
for the solutions of similar problems encountered in other departments.

Outside Jobs, Exam Fees,
Service Ratings Probed by
Harry Smith and DE Aides
NEW Y O R K CITY. March 21 Service record credit points, return of examination fees under
certain circumstances, and the
evaluation rating system, were
among the main topics discussed
at a meeting between members of
the CSEA Division of Employment
committee and Harry Smith, DE
director of personnel.
A subcommittee of the CSEA
group met with Mr. Smith, following a meeting of the full committee
which also considered the same
matters.
Credit on Promotion
A1 Reinhardt, committee chairman, said the crediting of service
records was of especial importance
when employees in more than one
title compete In a promotion exam.
Watching the camera watching them are, clockwise around the table, Edward L Gilchrist, He cited, as an example, the forthDepartment of State; John O'Brien, Middletown State Hospital; Mrs. Mary Callahan ond coming assistant employment security manager test, open to both

Mr. Smith and the CSEA subcommittee also discussed information received from the Civil Service Department, in connection
with the return of exam fees in
cases where employees are unabio
to attend the exam, or are found
ineligible after the test.
Question of Appeals
The present evaluation rating
system, and a simpler system now
being put into effect, came up for
scrutiny. Employees asked tliat a
conference be held on the question
of appeals against evaluation ratings. They noted the general laclc
of success which workers have had
in tiie past with such appeals.
Ouliiide Jobs
The DE aides asked a relaxation
of the rule which forbids payroll
examiners from conducting outside
accounting activities after busi«
ness hours. Reference was mad«,
too, to relaxation of the two-houK
medical aod deatal leave rule.

Young More Interested
In Effective Government
Titan in Employee Welfare
W A S H I N G T O N , March 21 —
Effective government is the primary consideration, said Philip
Young, Chairman of the U. S. Civil
Service Commission, testifying before a panel that is considering
ivhether a commission should be
appointed to review the security
program.
He said he is more interested in
effective government "than in the
welfare of government euVloyees."
He did not enlarge on this theme
but his remark related to the possibility, broached by President
Eisenhower at a press interview,
that jobs could be found elsewhere
