THE MOST explosive controversy of Mayor Wagner's administration lias burst through the
tWn volcanic layer that had been
holding it suppressed. The results
of it may, if improperly resolved,
leave scathing residues with the
deepest implications to the Mayor
and his administration. The controversy resolves itself into one
question:
Can the Mayor afford to let
Luther Gulick resign?

The immediate and unequivocal
answer, from the standpoint of
political analysis, is No. Possibly

Governor Harriman's budget director says any hasty action in

not be in the interest of State

He points out the entire Budget

A bill reducing to 20 weeks, from

Senator John H. Hughes of

ALBANY, April 25 — Governor
Harriman has signed into law a
bill extending to all permanent,
competitive civil service employees
the right to a hearing in. disciplinary proceedings, and empowering
the State Civil Service Commission to order the reinstatement
of employees cleared of such
charges. The law applies to both
State and local aides.
The measure, an important
plank in the Civil Service Employees Association's 1955 legislative program, was introduced by
Senator Herijert I. Sorin of Brooklyn, and was introductory number
1593.
The signing ceremony, in the
Governor's oflice, was witnessed
by Alexander A. Falk, President of
the State Civil Service Commission; Senator Herbert L Sorin,
sponsor of the bill in that House,
and member of the Senate Civil
Service and Pensions Committee;
As.sembly Orin S. Wilcox, Assembly sponsor and chairman of the
Assembly Civil Service Committee; John P. Powers, president of
the CSEA; John T. DcGraff, CSEA
counsel; and Daniel DeDeo of the
American Federation of Labor,
and Helen Blanchard, CIO.
"This bill, which carries out
Objectives
recommendations I made early in
February," said Governor Harriman, "accomplishes three objectives:
1. It extends to all permanent,
competitive civil service employees
the right to a hearing in disciplinary proceedings. The right to a
hearing is now accorded to veterans and volunteer firemen and,
by special statutory provisions, to
many other employees holding
particular jobs. Moreover, it is
common practice to hold such
hearings in many departments
and agencies despite the fact that
such hearings are not required by
law. It is only fair that the right
to a hearing be extended uniformly to ail peimanent employees in the competitive class.
2. It eliminates the need for
duplicate hearing when employees.

now entitled by statute to a hearing before the appointing officer,
elect to appeal to the Civil Service
Commission.
3. It empowers the Civil Servic*
Commission to direct the reinstatement of an employee if it
finds on appeal that the charges
were not sustained.
In 1941, the Civil Service Law
was amended to give employees
the right to appeal to the Civil
Service Commission from determinations of the appointing officer
in disciplinary proceedhigs.
Power Restrioted
"The powers of the Civil Service Commi-ssion under this amendment were unduly restricted," th«
Governor notes. "The Commission
was empowered to authorize tlie
transfer of the employee to a vacancy in a similar position in another division or department, or
to direct that his name be placed
upon a preferred list, but it was
not empowered to order the reinstatement of an employee. This
bill cures this serious defect ia
the present law by authorizing the
Commission to direct the reinstatement of an employee if he is
found to be innocent of the o f fense charge, and if an appropriate transfer can not be arranged.
"As a matter of simple justice,"
the Governor continued, "the
Commission should have this authority. It is wholly inconsistent
with_ modern principles of justice
to gfve the employee the right to
appeal, if the appellate tribunal
is powerless to take efifective action
when it finds that the charge®
have not been sustained."
Harriman Acts on
Civil Service Bills
ALBANY, April 25 — Bills affecting civil service employees are

Looking Inside
By H. J. BERNARD
Vefo of U, S. Raise Unthinkable;
Compromise Would Prevent It
A C O M P R O M I S E on a raise f o r F e d e r a l employees
may regrettably be necessary now. T h e y are well entitled
to the 10 percent the Senate voted, but the chances of
getting 10 percent are practically nil. President Eisenh o w e r has made known that he w o u l d veto a 10 percent
bill. Test votes in both the Senate and the House indicate
that hope of getting the required two-thirds vote to override a veto is f a r - f e t c h e d .
Last year President Eisenhower stated his maximum
•willingness. Congress exceeded it, he vetoed the bills, and
there w a s no raise. T h a t must not happen this year.
The House has voted a postal pay increase of 8.3
percent. The President, w h o originally pi-oposed 6 percent,
then consented to 7.6 percent. H e can be induced to accept
the provisions of the House bill. T h e strongest inducement
w o u l d be an agreement by the Senate to the terms of the
House bill, and acceptance of that bill by the employees.
Too Bif^ a Risk to
Take
The House is about to vote a raise f o r other Federal
employees, the so-called classified group. U n d o u b t e d l y the
measure will exceed the President's 5 percent figure.
The President's position is untenable, and the case
presented by the employees' representatives is unanswerable. But they are in d a n g e r of losing all chance of a pay
rise if they insist on 10 percent. This is a calculated risk.
If the legislative branch and the employees agree
en a raise, while the President w o u l d still have the legal
right to veto the measures, he w o u l d not h^ve the moral
right to exercise the legal right. Even so, the better solution w o u l d be to remove the dire threat of a veto.
Stricter Standards
And Higher Pay for
Engineers Favored
WASHINGTON. April 25 — An
advf.sory committee of engineers
is aiding the U. S. Civil Service
Commission to make the Federal
service more attractive to engineers, particularly students now
in college.
The committee, which held a
two-day meeting with the Commission, Is headed by Joseph H.
Ehlers, field representative, American Society of Civil Engineers.
The committee favors clear separation of professional from technician positions. It supports training outside government for Federal workers assigned to unu.sua)ly
specialized and complicated government jobs.
The committee approved higher than minimum pay rates for
engineers and physical scientists,
and programs for employment of
student trainees.
It recommended stricter standards, including an absolute requirement of a bachelor's degree
in engineering for entry into the
two lowest engineer grades, GS-5
and 7; an exam for proficiency for
entry into the intermediate grades
9 and 11, and adequate professional standing and recognition
for promotion to GS-13 and higher
grades.
HOUSE WEIGHS RAISE
FOR CLASSIFIED GROUP
WASHINGTON, April 25 — The
House is turning Its attention to
a raise for the classified U. S. employees. after having voted an 8.3
percent « raise for postal employees.
The Senate has voted a 10 percent raise for both postal and
Classified employees.
President Eisenhower is willing
to go along with a 7.6 percent
postal and a 6 percent classified
raise. Unless he recedes. If any
measure finally exceeds his limits,
a veto may be expected.
The vote on the postal raise inJicated that the backers of the
B.3 percent bill could not muster
the required two-thirds vote to
override a veto. The test on which
this is based is tlie 224-189 vote on
the question of whether to bring
up for vote the 8.3 or the 7.6 percent bill. When the motion for the

PANELS TO SPOT
EXECUTIVE TALENT
AMONG EMPLOYEES
WASHINGTON. April 26 — l^he
use of appraisal panels to spot and
train potential executive talent of
Federal employees has been started by the Civil Service Commission for U. S. agencies.
Panels of three or four persons,
always including the employee's
supervisor acting as chairman, are
set up to rate the total Iwrformance and potential abilities of the
employee. The employee is then
asked to follow a development
plan suggested by the panel. This
may include self-help, agency assistance, planned work experience,
and formal training.

ONEONTA. April 25 — "Rock
bottom" issues were reached at a
double all-day meeting of State
and county employee representatives held in Oneonta on Saturday,
April 16.
Among the matters frankly and
freely discu.ssed were:
1. The need for higher dues to
service Association members;
2. ' Political" dismissals in State
service, with the in-coming of a
new administration; and how they
ought to be met by an organization like the CSEA.
3. The use of member strength
more effectively.
4. The competition faced by the
Civil Service Employees Association.
5. The question of methods in
"selling" membership — whether
through
essential services
or
through "fringes."
6. The use of legal machinery by
county employees in getting pay
and other adjustments.
Four Sessions
There were four major meetings
during the day: a morning meeting presided over by Raymond G.
Castle, dealing with the education
of organization leaders; a meeting
of Central Conference delegates
presided over by its president,
Charles Metho; a meeting of
County delegates, co-chairmaned
by Arnold Koelliker, Mrs. Myrtle
Clark, and Vann Estelow; an evening dinner meeting at which Assemblyman Paul L. Talbot presided.
Mcthe on Service
The dues question was enunciated by Mr. Methe, who said: "Our
dues are too low for the services
rendered by the Civil Service Employees A.ssociation. When you
represent 60,000 people, you're big
business, and you must be prepared to render the best service
possible for these people."
A guest speaker, Charles Lamb,
president of the Southern Conference, also outlined the need for

program of the Association operates In a situation where there are
many forces — some working to
help us, others trying to defeat
us. For success, we require strong,
growing, and participating membership, an efficient staff, and suffient means to do the job right."
Political Firings
In response to an employee question from the floor, Mr. Powers
took up the issue of "political firings." He revealed the sturdy efforts that had been over the years
by the Association to extend the
competitive class. He told of the
battle the organization had had
with the Civil Service Commission
on the issue of "blanketing-in" employees. He explained:
"Even

may occur, this is the only process
available for extending the protections of civil service, and thus

of Political
Disniiiisals
DURING the past few weeks, our headquarters office has been
receiving many calls and letters from non-competitive employees regarding their replacement due to the change in State government.
Newspapers, particularly those upstate, have also been calling attention to the changes being made in personnel, particularly in the
Departments of Public Works and Conservation. All this activity has
come about ^ince the shift in control from the Republican to the
Democratic party on January 1. These job changes are alleged by
many critics to be inspired by politics and for the purposes of giving
jobs to the new faithful. To whatever degree this is true, the noncompetitive class is peculiarly susceptible to such manipulation. A
holder of such a position does not have the same legal rights to his
job as does the holder of a competitive title. The non-competitive
employee has been picked on the basis of his qualifications and experience, but not in competition with other candidates. Unless he is
a veteran or volunteer fireman who is entitled to a hearing, he caa
be removed at any time.
Theory of Non-Competitive Jobs
The Civil Service Commission has put certain jobs into the
non-competitive class on the theory that a competitive examination
for them is not practicable. They hold there is no way to examine
adequately for these positions through competition. Bakers, plumbers,
carpenters and such are types of positions traditionally found there.
In addition, in recent years, the Civil Service Commission has put
many highly paid, important administrative, technical, and highly
specialized positions in the non-competitive class. Sometimes the
reasons given by the Commission for these classifications are valid,
but sometimes we feel they are in response to pressure from officials

So You ff'ant to Be a Prison
It's a Specialized Field
Correctional work is a special field requiring per.sonnel qualified
by nature and training to deal with people who have failed under
ordinary conditions and are in need of special treatment. Many of
the members of the custodial force have availed themselves of additional schooling, in-service training, technical training courses and
specialized courses at college level in the field of penology and social
welfare. Many hold college degrees In these fields. One holds tlie
degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
A new philosophy relative to the care and treatment of individual*
committed to penal or correctional institutions has developed in
recent years. New objectives concerning care and treatment have been
formulated. The New York State prison guard has kept in step with
these numerous advances.
These Also Help
So you think the guards' work is done? Are you kidding? A
working knowledge of any of the following occupations also helps:
stenographer, typist, clerk, bookkeeper, photographer,
fingerprint
classifier, teacher, vocational instructor, nurse, X - r a y technician,
motion picture operator, locksmith, welder, farmer, steam shovel
operator, landscape engineer, dynamite expert, cook, carpenter,
plumber, bricklayer, laundry operator, barber, printer, sheet metal
worker, auto mechanic, etc. All these assignments are covered by
uniformed personnel from time to time.
Rehabilitating the Inmate
The prison guard personnel is doing a fine job to maintain the
efficient management of State penal institutions, but of greater importance is the progress being made towards the re-socialization and
rehabilitation of the inmate. T h e eventual release of men and women
from our institutions who had previously abandoned all hope and
are now prepared to start life anew as useful law-abiding citizens
cannot be evaluated. The service rendered to those individuals and
to the people of the State cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
Reward? The maximum pay is $4,490 annually after five years'
work. The satisfaction that comes from knowing that you are doing
a worthwhile job is your prime reward. The next examination should
be within the year. W e will be looking for you.
Material for this column is from the prison guard pay appeal,
seeking upgrading to R-14, which was prepared by Warren Cairo, a
guard at Napanoch Institution.

Johs
ONE O U T of every ten State Tax Department employees holds
Ml outside job. The precise fraction is a little over 9 percent. Average
earnings for outside work are little — $300 to $500 a year. More up•taters, proportionately, work on part-time job« than N Y C employees of the department.
This information was elicited from a questionnaire issued by
Tax Commissioner George Bragalini to tiie 6,037 of the agency. All
iMit 166 replied.
Most common jobs held are evening or Saturday positions as
•alesclerks. Lots of the men work in shoe stores, girls work in department stores as salespeople or cashiers. Accountants in the department do a brisk business on outside accounting tasks. Some of
the lawyers work on briefs for other lawyers, or on cases of their

Of all the questionaires returned, only 12 will be taken before

here is whether the outside work conflicts with the job in the department. These 12 employees will be asked to give more detail
ftbout their extra-curricular activities. The probability is that those
not directly concerned with tax, like employees in the Motor Vehicles
Bureau, have nothing to worry about. The others, if there is shown
to t>e a conflict, will be asked to give up one job or the other.

The Issue
The issue has arisen over a technical point. In Budget Director
Beame's office there is a unit
known as the Division of Analysis.
Gulick maintains that this division duplicates the work of the
nguished reports are filtering in of employees being City Administrator's office, of

be done f o r them.
Public Jobs:
Patronage and
Firings
A
It is a l w a y s sad when the little people — and those
in the cun-ent batch of firings are "little" people — get
hurt in this w a y . T h e answer, of course, is extension of the
competitive class, and of civil service protections, to as
many public employees as can be taken in under the
canopy. W e can imagine w h a t w o u l d have h a p p e n e d if
N e w Y o r k State had had an inadequate civil service l a w
w h e n a new administration came into office! W h a t turmoil
there would have been, with thousands of employees replaced by the politically f a i t h f u l ! H o w the public's w o r k
w o u l d have s u f f e r e d ! W h a t an outcry w o u l d have been
raised! H o w long it would have taken f o r some semblance
of efficiency to be reached ! Competitive civil service protects citizens of N e w Y o r k State as well as the employees.
In fact, it protects the politicians, too, by releasing them
f r o m the pressures they Avould be subjected to if more
jobs w e r e available f o r patronage.
But additional positions have to be "covered i n " under
competition. This is an area w h e r e the State Civil Service
Department started working some years ago, under h a l f hearted conditions that were never satisfactorily explained. It is time that this business — it's called, technically, jurisdictional reclassification — were undertaken
again, with the prospect of bringing under civil service
protection every j o b that properly belongs there.
Two Big Cains Enacfed
T
w o large advances w e r e signed into l a w last w e e k by
Governor Harriman. N o w , f o r the first time, public
employees have the right to a hearing with counsel, and
to produce witnesses, in disciplinary cases. The change
had been sought f o r many years by the Civil Service E m ployees Association. This year, both Governor H a r r i m a n
and the legislative leaders affirmed the soundness of the
demand. In the same measure is a provision giving to the
Civil Service Commission the right to order reinstatement
of any employee erroneously dismissed f r o m his j o b . One
•would imagine that no l a w w o u l d be needed f o r such
elementary justice; but events have time and again proven
that the protection is required.
Incidentally, let it be parenthetically recorded that
the reform groups w h o have f o u g h t these protections are
properly rebuked.
Also signed into l a w is the measure giving unemployment insurance to State employees on the same basis as
applies to workers in private industry. This means that
civil servants will not have to w a i t a year b e f o r e obtaining
unemployment benefits, in the event of job-loss. It is regrettable that the Legislature did not go a step f a r t h e r
and extend unemployment protection to county and other
local aides, whose jobs are frequently in more precarious
a situation than those of State aides. That's a goal to
•hoot f o r next year, w h e n the Legislature convenes.
In addition to the intrinsic value of the measures

The Beame Case
Mr. Beame's ca.se rests on these
points: ta) The Division of Analysis has resided in the Budget
Director's office long before the
evolution of the City Administrator concept; (b) it performs
operations essential in determining how the City is to allocate and
spend Its money most eflectively;
(c) it Is the duty of the Budget
Director, as the City's financial
watchdog, to study every recommendation involving money expenditures. These functions the
Division of Analysis performs and,
in addition, (d) comes up with
its own recommendations for improved
municipal
operations.

supporters maintain, the Budget

what improvements should be

who favor the Budget Director's
position point out that Dr. Gulick

Yes!—from a common cold to the most
expensive surgery . . . you and your family
"will be attended by PRIVATE doctors,
specialists and surgeons without your even
seeing a doctor's bill.* That's what makes
H-I-P DIFFERENT from any other health

HE prophesied that the State
would pass a law authorizing eoordlnatlon, and that differences of
oplnloo among employee groups
would be resolved by letting those
share In Social Security benefits

not so desire, could stay out. Policemen and firemen are expressly
excluded, under Federal law. at
their own request, unless they peUUon to be Included.

referred approvingly to the executive editor's column, "LooUng I n side," published In the LEADER'S
April 1* Issue, In which It was
argued that employees wbo abuse

Mr. Kelly was speaking, a group
of 000 employees of the Transit

The questions dealt largely with
limitation of pension benefits under Social Security, retirement
age, necessity for working between
the time of retirement from a public employee system and reaching
the Social Security retirement age
of 65, New Jersey's pension plan,
and credits under Social Security
earned through service in the
The speaker said that, under
present U.S. law, it would be necessary for a public employee who
retired under the N Y C Employees
Retirement System benefits, to
work at least five years, before
attaining age 65 for Social Security retirement, if coordination did
take place, but when new, large
groups are included, it is customary for Congress to liberalize the
law. He expected Congress to provide that no work would be required between the two retirement
dates. Questions about how long
armed forces coverage would last
after return to public service were
answered by the statement that
there was definite limit to their
duraUon, but If coordinaUon took
place, the two coverage periods
under Social Security would be
cumulative.
He also pointed out that If en
retirement under Social Security
at age 65, not only may a member
receive up to $1,300 a year, but
bis wile. If age 65 or over, $650 a

The association cites tlie difllculty of becoming a .sergeant, as
shown by the ratio of only one
sergeant to every 14 patrolmen,
while there is one lieutenant to
every two sergeants. The study
for the sergeant exam is arduous,
also, the association .states.
Both the proposed pay and the
increments are utterly unacceptable, the association says.
Alternate Plans Proposed
The association submits alternate plans: (1), sergeant pay to
be midway between' patrolman and
lieutenant pay, and the incrementa
to be Increased so that at maximum pay the midway point would
be preserved; (2), as a preferable
alternative, consolidation of the
ranks of sergeant and lieutenant
Into one rank.
• ^ e consider it a serious error,"
said the association, "that It is
proposed that the minimum differential between sergeants and
patrolmen
should remain
unchanged. Any wage proposal for
sergeants must be predicated upon
a satisfactory minimum differential between sergeants and patrolmen. More than 26 years ago,
when patrolmen received $3,000,
that differential was $500. Today,
when patrolmen receive $5,015, It
is only $40 more than $500. Under
the new proposal, when patrolmen will receive $5,215, the minimum differential will remain at
only $40 more than It was 25
years ago. The fact that It would
be somewhat increased by Increments over a period of five years
does not alter the basic fact that
the minimum differential Is inadequate today, and remains Inadequate under the proposed pay
plan.-

Higher Differentials Elsewhere
The differentials are quoted,
too, showing that all of Ihem are
higher than the propo.<ied differential between N Y C top-giadc patrolmen and sergeants. Three of
them offer higher final differential than the $790 maximum, even
when N Y C increments are included. Even In large cities where sergeant pay is lower than that proposed for N Y C sergeants, the d i f ferential is always larger, the sergeants add.
The Sergeants Benevolent Association,
George
Blumenthal,
president, submitted to N Y C Personnel Director Joseph Schecht€r
a brief in support of higher raises
for sergeants than proposed in the
resolution forwarded by the Personnel Department to the Board
of Estimate.
The police sergeants complained
that the pay is too low, and the
differential between the top patrolman grade and sergeant is too
small. Top patrolman pay would
be $5,015. while sergeants would
get $5,555, under the terms of the
resolution, the same $540 differential as now exists. But the d i f f erential between sergeant and
lieutenant pay, now $535, would
be raised $185 to $710.

Participating Prison Guards
Mr. Lamb, who had come from
Sing Sing to address the State
workers, told them of the many
ways in which the prison guards
at his institution are participating
in social, community and political
affairs. Mr. Lamb cited this as a
source of strength for public employees.
In a cross-discussion on the
question of "frills," Mr. Lamli
told the as.semblage: "Without
frills you can't operate." He said
this in response to an observation
by Mildred Lauder, 5th vice-pre.sident of the group, that "you don't
sell the A.ssociation on the basis
of auxiliary services." Mi.ss Lauder
also praised the manner in which
the Central Conference got information to its members.
Mr. Lamb said that the Sing
Sing chapter got out 5,000 pieces
of mall to its members in a year.
Moreover, he added, the chapter
had compiled a research library
of all laws and rules relevant to
employee matters.
