Contributions
ALBANY, Aug. 8 — The campaign of the Civil Service Employees Association for a "substantial" salary increase for State
aides, tooic a step forward last

$30,000,000" to provide a pay raise,
a fund for correction of inequities,
State-paid medical, surgical and
hospital coverage, and an increase
in the State's contribution toward
retirement allowances.
Goes to Resolution Group
The resolution now goes to the
Association's resolutions committee, which is scheduled to meet on
August 24. It will be submitted to
the delegates at the annual October business meeting.
Davis L. Shultes, chairman, and
his salary committee, had pondered tiie text of the resolution during the summer months. Pinal action by the salary group was taken
at the August 2 meeting at Association headquarters.
At the meeting, in addition to
Chairman Shultes, were F. Henry
Galpin, salary research analyst,
and committee members Perry
B«?ndriclcsen. Mildred M. Lauder,
Stephen C. Davis, Harold Corcoran, John J. Kehlringer, Margaret
J. Willi and Arthur Moon.
Text of Resolution
The full resolution reads:
WHEREAS, current allocations
and classifications to the new salary schedule were supposedly
based on a salary survey made as
of October 1, 1953 and failed to
achieve parity therewith, and
WHEREAS, all inequities between State positions have not yet
been corrected, and
WHEREAS, the wages paid in
private employment and other
public jurisdictions have increased
sharply since October 1, 1953 and
being further increased by each
new wage agreement, and

Government, and providing f o r a grievance board as aa

The new order revokes and supersedes one which has been in

The procedure provided by the
previous order had been criticized
as cumbersome. It was also felt
that the Personnel

ALBANY, Aug. 8 — Streamlined
civil service examinations are
serving the needs of various State
agencies and departments under
a new policy of approving "reasonable variations" in examining
techniques to fit the needs of
different departments.
State employees who haven't
taken a civil service exam for
some time are in for some surprises on their next go-round.
How New Plan Works
Here's how the new and flexible policy developed by tlie Slate
Civil Service Commission iji working out in practice as applied te

Aptitude tests have been developed by the Civil Service Department and the Division of
Employment to aid In selection of

Under this program, a trainee

U. S. Appeals Court Holds
Looking Inside
By H. J. BERNARD
80,000
•WASHINGTON, Aug. • — In »
2-to-l decision the United States
Court of Appeals upheld the authority of the President to order
employees dismissed, nnder the
security program, even though
they do not work in "•ensitive"
agencies. The "sensitive" ones are
those whose work may affect national security.
Who Faced Job Loss
^ow Have Chance Of
Security
THE expected signing, by the President, of a bill to soften the
nt-w Federal hiring program, in regard to 80,000 aides, would cure an
Inequity tliat wouid have been disgraceful had it been permitted to
continue.
The new hiring policy, under which the U. S. Civil Service Commission sought to eliminate Uie de.signation of employees as "indefiBites", was a complete overhauling. It wasn't exactly perfection.
I t might have made some allowances for employees wno were on
eligible rosters when the date arrived lor conversion to the new types
of status — "carcer" for the top-most security standing, "careerconditional" for the others, "indefinite" no longer to be a designation.
The "indefinites" occupy permanent jobs but have no job permanency
them.selves.
T h e a d v i c e of C h a i r m a n P h i K p
Y o u n g of the U. S . C i v i l S e r v i c e C o m m i s s i o n on w h e t h e r

Conditions for eligibility to permanency were imposed, and all d e f i n i t e " e m p l o y e e s h a s b c M

hewer.
were barred. They kept their jobs, under a policy of lenity, but under
thaky circumstances. The Commission has announced it will revert to
the policy of filling all classified jobs from registers of eligibles. That
means many "indefinites' will lose their jobs soon, all excepting those
who qualify under the terms of the new policy on status. That
policy also requires three years' Federal service as a condition to
permanency, or "career" status, and recommendation by the employee's own appeal.
The 80,000 were on eligible rosters. They were not appointed
from those lists. Many of them were advised by their own departments that, since tliey already had jobs, it was not necessary to go
through the motions of appointing them from the lists, which
seemed then an idle operation. So, many of the 80,000 let it go at
that. Tlien came the Commission's rule opening permanency only to
those appointed from a list.
The requirement of departmental recommendation could have
bten omitted. It is the same problem as exists in NYC, which requires that employees, to be entitled to an annual increment, must
have rendered satisfactory service during the previous year. This
di.scretionary power, in either instance, could be abused. If an employee's services are unsatisfactory, he is not entitled to an Increment, or to permanency. Nobody unfit for a job should be permitted
to continue in it, but the unfitness should be proved at a hearing at
which the employee is entitled to be represented by an agent of
his own choosing, for instance, a lawyer, or a leader of an employee
organization.
Opportunity will be afforded Federal "indefinites" who did not
pass an exam, hence are not on a list, to get on one, by passing a
non-competitive test during the first year after the signing of the
bill.
A note is at hand from John T. DeOraff, counsel to the Civil
Service Employees Association, calling attention to the fact that the
State safeguards employees from salary cuts in cases of downgrading.
For many years the Feld-Hamilton I^aw has made that provision, he
points out, in cases of downgrading either by reallocation or reclassification. He adds: '
"The special reallocation act passed last year gives even greater
protection and provides that in any such case the employee shall
receive not only his present salary but shall also receive any Increments to which he would have been entitled until he reaches the
maximum salary of his position prior to its reclassification or reallocation."
I referred, without indentification, to a downgrading case in
which an employee sued for full salary. The action is known as the
Hotaling case. Mr. DeOraff comments:
"The Hotaling action, to which you were apparently referring, is
not a case where the State tried to collect a difference in pay. The
action, which thus far has been successful, is to compel the State to
pay more than the maximum salary provided for the position prior to
its downgrading. In the Hotaling case the old title was reallocated to a
higher grade on October 1, 1954, and we are trying to collect the salary for the higher grade. The State has continued to pay the maximum salary established for the position prior to October 1, 1954, although the title of the position was reclassified downward on that
date."

case, was an employee of the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, The minority opinion

T H R E E State Labor Department employees, all fairly close to retirement are up on disciplinary charges that could blast their retirement privileges and their lives.
EMPLOYEE A i£ a SUtisUcal Qerk, and has been with the Division of Employment 14 years. CTharges were filed against him based
on alleged Incompetency and misconduct going bacic to January 1,
1953.
Nine hearings were held before Harry L Rosen, the Division's
hearing officer. As this is written, no decision has yet been rendered,
although one is momentarily expected.
For the year 1953, employee A received a grade of superior on his
Work Performance Rating Report. This grade was approved on the
report by the supervisor who initiated the charges. For 1954, Employee A received a grade of Good. The same supervisor gave ttila
grade.
Attorney for Employee A argued that the Division could not
properly go behind these reports and dredge up old material against
an employee for periods during which it had rated him well. From
the time the employee receives a favorable rating, the attorney a r gued. the year is closed and be has a right to rely on that rating for
all purposes. Any other conclusion would Impair the value of the reporting system.
Despite these arguments, evidence was taken to show that tlie
employee did not do good work and that he was guilty of misconduct
during the years when he was rated Superior and Good.

EMPLOYEE B is an Employment Manager, having held that title
for more than 18 years. He is at present assistant office manager in
a busy area.
Employee B and the manager of the office had an altercation on
May 26. Employee B, wiio maintains he was provoked, pushed the
office manager with his hand, and the latter fell. He claimed he suffered a contusion of his leg. There is apparently no serious damage.
Employee B admitted the Incident, but maintained in justification that he had been goaded, adding that he was in acute ill health
ait the time. This was corroborated by the fact that within ten days
he was taken to the hospital with a coronary attack which his attorney says was precipitated by the incident.
The hearing was conducted on July 15. There has been no decision to date.
EMPLOYEE C is an employment manager in a Manhattan local
office. He has been employed by the Division since 1932. and has been
office manager since 1937. He is charged with unapproved absences
over three specific daiys. The hearing was held on July 22.

Long-term employees, all three feel that severe penalties could
blast their lives. None have extended " b a d " rcords. They're awaiting
the decisions with obvious anxiety.
State Commission to
Joint Study of Contract
Hiring; Abuses Admitted
The State Civil Service Commission should Investigate contract
employment, the Civil Service R e form Association recommended in
a letter to Commission Chairman
Alexander A. Falk.
The reform group thinks the
Commission should undertake the
task because contract employment
is often used as a device for evading the State Constitution and the
C^vil Service Law. Those enactments provide that, with certain
exceptions, that Jobs must be filled
on the basis of merit and fitness
as determined by examinations
which, so far as practicable, shall
be competitive. Contract Jobs are
filled on a freely appointive basis.
contract employment in the State
service, sifting out those which are
not in accord with the intent of
the law and putting a stop to them.
Such an investigation would contribute directly to good civil service administration and would be
in the public interest."
Falk's Reply
Mr. Falk replied as follows:
" I think we are all in agreement
that contracts have their place ia
the scheme of things and that no
effort should be made to prohibit
them altogether. On the other
hand, there Is some evidence that
through the years abuses have
crept in; some of the contracts

Salaries In Line With Work
One conviction the new agency
head is reaching can be spelled out
M a short sentence: Public employees should be paid salaries In
Una with the duties they perform.
H « Is sympathetic with the aspirations of his aides for pay
scales that would lend greater
prestige to their tasks, and tend
to attract and hold a high type
•f worker in the Authority.
T h e employees have carried
their case for higher pay before
the State Classification and Compensation Division, and there have
been some upgradings. But they
maintain that these are far from
adequate. Some have even been
ilowngraded
at
the
entrance
levels. Beverage control investigators, for example, had a beginning
salary of $4,053 under the old
grades. I n the new schedules, the
entrance level has been reduced
to $3,920. At maximum, there is
only a $60-a-year difference between the new and the old grades.
I n other words, an investigator
who has been on the job for five
years can expect an increase of
about $1 a week.
There are executive officers In
local ABC boards, performing
complex, sensitive duties who come
In at an entrance salary of about
$68 a week!
Hearing reporters of the Authority are contesting the determination of their salary grades. Incidentally, their titles also carry a
pay cut at the opening level.
Attorneys earning $6,000 a year
•ften do battle with opposite numbers earning five times as much.
Even deputy commissioners are
•lotted at a pay level of some
$S,000—incredibly low for the
tasks assigned them, and not at

depuUes in New York City agenHe'll Tell The Governor
These are matters the new commissioner is thinking about and
worrying about. There is a learntoc process involved in taking over
any government agency—particularly one so convoluted as the
OLA. T o m Rohan plunged in right
after Governor Harriman appointed him; he's been working long
hours in endeavoring to straighten
•ut. clarify and streamline pro•edures. Near the top of his list
t t "must" projects is the upbulldIBC of the employee corps. When
he speeJcs with the Governor's O f », he will make clear hU oplnon the requirements of an
acency which is different In funclloii and structure from any other. He feels that to do the Job he
wants done he must have employees who are contented with their
emoluments and happy in their
work. He is rapidly filling vacanonly last week having sworn
three deputies for the Buffalo
Approaiii To The Job
Toward his work. Commissioner
Robaa brings a relaxed attitude.
Is not out to invoke as many
penalties as possible against as
many liquor dealers as possible.
H e seeks to regulate the industry
• i a basts that will protect the
T H O M A S E. R O H A N
public, at the same time allow the
liquor dealer to make a living. He
does not tolerate law-breaking;
neither does he consider every report of a minor violation as a reason for revoking a license. He feels
he can achieve his objective by developing a cooperative, rather than
a resistive, attitude in the Industry.
He's Unpretentious
T o m Rohan is an easy man to
be with. Although his public life
has included two terms on the
bench, he has not developed an
aura of pomposity. He talks easily
and unpretentiously. He
gives
the impression that he would
be equally at e a s e
with a
group of Judges, longshoremen, or
liquor salesmen. He is not out to
bum up the world. He does want
to make the State Liquor Authority a better agency—and he appears, even after only a few
months in office, well on the way
to accomplishing this end.
An Athlete
B o m in N Y C In 1905, Rohan
took his bachelor of arts and law
degrees from Pordham University.
While In college, he was named
All-American basketball guard for
two years. He still has the strong
shoulders and slight forward bent
of the walk that characterizes
many athletes.
He practiced law from 1926 to
1940, when he was elected to the
Municipal Court bench. Originally he ran as a Democrat. His candidacy for re-election. In 1950,
marshalled behind him the backing of the Democratic, Republican
and Liberal parties. All the N Y C
bar associations indorsed him.
He is married, and the father of
a son and two daughters.
Harriman's Confidence
When Governor Harriman announced his appointment, he accompanied the release with this
statement:
"Judge Rohan's reputation for
ablUty, Integrity and fairness provides assurance that the public interest will receive fair and impattlal treatment."
The liquor industry Is quickly
learning that this is the case. And
the employees of the agency are
learning that these qualities extend to their problems, t o a

groups unanimous in indorsing salary increases f o r top
officials and their deputies. The employees realize that the
boss has as much right to be adequately paid as the bossed.
The employees no doubt realize also that when the boss
gets a raise, that does not injure their own prospects of
receiving similar treatment.
A FRIEND of ours in the State
Labor Department office passed
along this story about a letter
received in his office.
Seems that a chap doing business with the department died
suddenly, leaving his affairs in a
terrific mess. Among the unfinished business was an important
letter to the department left unmailed.
Before sending It off at last, the
dead man's secretary apparently
felt the delay required some explanation. So, beneath the man's
signature she added a post script:
"Since writing this letter I have
died."
Finally the day nrnst arrive when government meets
competitive pay scales, both for the top officials and the
run of employees, otherwise government will continue to
lose some of its best officials. N Y C has just lost the services of two capable officials, Francis W . H. Adams as
Police Commissioner, and Gordon Clapp, former chairman
of the Tennessee Valley Authority, as Deputy City A d ministrator. Such resignations should not happen, and
would not, if government lived up fully to its responsibilities on pay.
Pay Must Fit Job
On individual salary raises, criticisms may be voiced.
The total roster appeared fairly consistent. W e cannot understand, however, why the Commissioner of Sanitation
was pegged at $25,000, the Commissioner of W e l f a r e
at $22,500. Nor de we see why the Budget Director
was lifted to a $25,000 figure, while the Director of
Personnel was left at $22,500. It is not the amounts that
are the most important factors in these cases. The principle of equality between the Budget Director and the Director of Personnel is one that has importance to the
Mayor's concept that personnel operation is of major significance. The ascendency of the Budget Director's office
over personnel, long a controversial item in the City, is emphasized by the higher pay awarded the Budget Director.
It seems to us that the pay of Henry L. McCarthy, Commissioner of W e l f a r e , and Joseph Schechter, Director of
Personnel, should be brought to $25,000, up from the $22,600 each has been allotted.
The pay must be fitted to the job. One civic group,
commenting before the Board of Estimate, said that sometimes the appointee may not be worth his salt. In government, where top appointments are often dictated by political considerations, that may happen frequently. Better
to pay the unworthy official occasionally too much than to
have a policy that results in paying the worthy too little.
Mayor Wagner moved in the proper direction when
he ixjcommended the upgradings of his top aides.

The amount was not too much: if a criticism is to be

institutions so critical? Hours and
salary are much to blame.
The State each year advertises
for "career men" to enter State
service but offers no Inducements
for the potential Institutional employee. The odds for a career are
small, promotions are few. A uninformed employee starts State service expecting such things as
good salary, pension and fringe
benefits. The huge turnover of
personnel In State service attests
to the unfulfilled hopes.
The State put Itself Into a difficult position by not providing a
real 40-hour week in 1947. The
reasons for this, I believe, were
that applicants for Institutional
jobs were few and It seemed Impossible to give a 40-hour week
as existing list could not fill the
vacancies such a move would
create. Institutional
employees
were put on a basic 40-hour week
but continued to work 44 and 48
hours with straight pay for overtime.
'Temporary' Arrangement
At that time It seemed like K
temporary arrangement until sufficient potentials could be found
to make these jobs 40 hours, but
what happened? For eight years
institutional
employees
have
worked overtime the sixth day.
The law requires private industry
to pay time and one half for overtime, but the State pays only
straight time.
Did this overtime have any
bearing on the base pay of these
employees? You can bet it did!
Comparable employees throughout
the United States with a 40-hour
week got raises but when it came
to comparing salaries, base pay for
institution workers could not
possibly have been figured on base
pay but overall salary which included overtime. Only with overtime have the salaries of prison
guards kept up with correction
officers in NYC, California and
elsewhere.
State prison guards appealed
tlieir salary allocation under the

roster, are eligible for permanency,
if recommended by their agency.
You are in that class. If you meet
the requirements, your three years
would suffice for top-ranking status
of "career".
WHEN an eligible list is established in a title, does it not kill
any existing list in that title?
M. L. O'C.
Answer — Not necessarily. The
rule Is as you state it, but there are
exceptions. For Instance, in announcing a test, a civil service
commission might state that the
current list would be continued until depleted, or its expiration by
operation of law; or, for a particular test, a commission might amend
its rule, to permit a list that otherwise would expire to continue. NYC
recently made such a change to
permit eligibles to be appointed to
the Police Department, when they
attain the minimum appointment
age, 21.
SHOULD not the opportunities
for promotion be listed so that anybody starting in government employ can see just what he might
strive for, instead of guessing?
L.E.C.
Answer — They are listed In the
classification of jobs. The grades
are set forth, also the pay. The
grade-to-grade schedule shows the
promotion steps. Tlie identity of
titles eligible for promotion may be
changed, now and again, but the
promotion "ladder" otherwise remains as scheduled.
WHAT is the background of
temporary raises recently granted
by the State?
C.K
Answer — As one way of stimulating recruitment and retaining
employees, the State adopts a
variable minimum salary. Appointments may be made, or salaries
raised, temporarily to a step in the
grade higher than minimum. The
Classification and Compensation
Division of the State Civil Service
Department allowed temporary increases in six State titles, under
that provision. Two of the actions
were statewide in effect: supervisor of English education, and
supervisor of mathematics education, new pay of each, $7,9.36. The
four other titles apply in specific
locations: associate industrial hygiene physician, Buffalo and NYC,
$9,346; maintenance man, (mason
and plasterer), Willard State Hospital, $3,202; mason and plasterer,
Willard, $3,920; and social worker,
(psychiatric), in NYC. $3,920.
THE LOSER'S CIRCLE
Horse-racing is strictly supervised by New York State, both at
the "running" and the harnessracing tracks. State employees do
the job, whether it is checking on
saliva or tattoo marks, for integrity or identification, or seeing
that the State gets its full share of
the amounts wagered.
The public is bound to lose money
at the races. Of the amount bet,
about 15 percent at the harness
tracks represents taxes, or the
"take," as horse-players call it,
while at the running races the percentage is about 16.7. However,
losers have the consolation of
knowing that the deduction is made
only from cashable tickets.
Since general loss is inevitable,
horse-players try to get out of the
Joser's circle by attempting shrewd
selections, and betting intelligently.
Even the experts find the task
difficult.
Bad Losers Cry Fraud
Bad losers frequently say a race
was fixed when it was not, that the
photo of the close finish showed
the horse they bet on coming in
second, whereas he won, and the
camera shifted to benefit of politicians and track officials.
The reasons why the losers can't
beat the races are stated this way:
they are not expert handicappers,
as selectors are called, and ttie
"take" is tough opposition.
Despite careful checking. Instances of wrongdoing are rare.
Some Impartial observers say ttiat
racing is more honest than most
oX the persons who cry fraud.

In June of this year, the Welfare Department gave assistance
in some form to 285,556 persons,
a figure that is some 65,000 persons more than the entire population of Syracuse.
During 1955 the department
will spend $202,000,000 in City,
State and Federal funds, to provide the needy with food, clothing and .shelter; to give assistance
to the blind and disabled; to provide children's care centers so
mothers can work to suport their
families; to operate rehabilitation
centers and to provide medical
and dental care. These are just
some of the many services the
department must perform.

operation is the social investigator who is responsible for the initial decisions that start funds and

AMERICAN SCHOOl,

In DE, candidates for titles .cuch
as senior manager, assistant superintendent sit around a table
and discuss a practical operating
problem. T h e examiners know
nothing about the background of
the candidates. They judge on
ability to organize and present
ideas, speed in thought and r e action, coherence and aggressiveness as well as inter-personal
releatlonships and acceptance by
the group.

For those who want to get into Civil Service
I enclose $S (check or money order) for a
year's subscription to the O v U Service
Leader. Please enter the name listed below:

Oral Test Is 'All'
The oral test, formerly only
part of the total examination,
now is the whole basis in promotion for supervisory Jobs.
Written exams determine only
the order in which the c«iididates
are called for the oral test.
The type of oral exam varies.
Sometimes it may be question and
answer. Other times It is that of
role-playing — the candidate observing as a test of his response
to a practical work situation In
the higher Utle.
Under the new program, a Division employee who holds the
higher title usually sits on the
examining board and rates the
candidate
Independently. Previously Division employees sat
solely as observers.

brought base pay up to parity with
other groups doing similar work
for a 40-hour, five day week.
State employees seek raises or

the standard of equal pay for
equal work. In the case of the
institutional workers no loss in
