A Thanksgiving Message More than three centuries ago, our pilgrim fathers gathered at a harve.st festival and gave thanks to their God for the protection and bounty He had afforded the colony during the year.

In 1864 President Lincoln set aside the la.st Thursday in November to be celebrated each year in a solemn festival by the counti'y for their survival and progress. Once again the day approaches, and once again the people of the United States will join in solemn prayer to thank their God for the bounties which He has granted. W e are thankful we are Americans, that we are born in a nation of vigor and courage.

Nov. i l — Hirlne rates in private industry have averaged nearly 7 per cent highthan in State employment over the past four years, a survey by the State Civil Service Department shows. The survey, conducted by J. Earl Kelly, director of Classification and Compensation, covers basic jobs filled by large numbers of employees. These Include clerks, typists, stenographers, electricians ,truck drivers, cleaners, and elevator operators.

Increases in private industry have developed In each of the four years, while the last State increase was in April, 1954. At present, the machinery needed to give State aides any kind of rais would require so much time to become effective that any raise would probably not be awarded until next year. Tliis means of course that at least a two-year period will have elapsed before State workers can expect their salary adjustment —if any. More in Sight in Industry I n the meantime most firms In private industry are already engaging in negotiations with employees on higher wages and increased fringe benefits. Past patterns indicate these increases will be granted to some degree. Therefore, the 7 per cent flgurs threatens to grow larger in t b * next few months.

P O W E R S President Service Employees Association msm Governor Harriman's TV Program^ ONE OP T H E BIGGEST P R O B L E M S which any public official has is the getting into communication with the people of his community. He must use every means at his command to keep the electorate informed as to the developments and progress of his programs. Aa government has become very complex, this is an obligation of great importance for every official. Besides using the channels of the press and radio, more and more officials are taking advantage of the large audience which television is commanding. Governor Harriman has instituted such a television program to appear before the people of New York State. His next report will be November 27. Public ofTicials are very responsive to the feelings and sentiments of the people. In their public statements, they reflect their views upon subjects of current importance. However, they must know what these subjcts are. and the only way an official can learn what Is concerning his people is by calling his attention to the problem whatever It may be. The ballot box and the press are often used to focus the official view upon a particular problem. Another way is by the writing of letters to the official calling attention to some public need. Perhaps the civil servants of the Slate could get Governor Harriman to discuss on his next program some of the vital problems like salary and length of work week if he could be impressed with the fact of a wide spread interc.st. I urge ali civil servants to listen to the television broadcasts of Governor Harriman. Whether he di.scusses civil service matters or not. all di.scu.ssions of public problems are of vital interest to you. I particularly urge you to let the Governor know if you want him to direct his broadcast to your problems. Hundreds of State Aides Eligible for S€holarships ALBANY, Nov. 21 — State Comptroller Arthur Levitt announced plans of scholarships for several hundred State employees to qualify them for graduate and undergraduate courses in government. Part of a plan for careers in public administration. The scholar.ships will be awarded next year. Funds will come from Civil Service Department appropriations. Comptroller Levitt said. The Comptroller is chairman of the sponsoring committee for Governor Harriman's New York Stale Public Administration Training Program. How the man Works Some 30 interns, selected by special civil service exams from among persons who have done graduate work in public administration, arc now appointed to various State departments for a year. They are a.ssured of continued employment if they wish to stay in State service. An equal number of State employees receives special training on the job and in four one-week Institutes under this proRram. The committee, in cooperation with Syracuse Universit; and New York University, also offers graduate courses at night at moderate cost to State employees, for special training in such subjects as public finance, personnel, and budgeting. T h « scholarship plan, which may cost $10,000 the first year, is designed to "enrich the present intern-trainee program by encouraging interns and trainees to take part in tlie graduate program," Complroller Levitt said. Eftrei of Ma-ster's Degre* Interns holding a master's degree will be allowed a half scholarship worth $96 on two fulJ-year evening courses over a two-year period, at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

Of 5.152 employees, we now have 2,340 bond subscribers— 1,476 having newly signed up for the payroll deductions during the course of the recent drive. "Commi.ssioner George M .

I understand that anything that takes place in a c h i l d ' s life when he is under 15 is strictly confidential. Some of these boys have reached their 19th birthday and have expressed a desire to become N Y C policemen. I have been giving them every encouragement to do so. Now I am surprised to be told by friends that this is wrong, as the boys would never be accepted by the Police Department. T h e i r offenses were t h e f t , and they spent a f e w weeks in Y o u t h House or truancy colony. Should I discourage these boys in expecting to become policemen?

A n Instance particularly cited was that of W e l f a r e Department e m ployees.

Comment by the Democrats, on the statement of the Republicans, was ai.so published in the same issue. T h e spoltesmen f o r the Democrats were Senate Minority Leader Francis J. Mahoney and Assembly Minority Leader Eugene P. Bannigan. Both statements were published in full. Comment by Shapiro George M. Shapiro, who was counsel to Governor T h o m a s E. Dewey, now comments on the Democrats' statement as follows: I n the October 24 issue of T h e L E A D E R , Messrs. Mahoney and Bannigan are quoted as malting the following statement: " W e think, too, that the G O P leadership now espouses integration of Social Security with retirement benefits with tongue in c h e e l , isecause the last Republican Governor i D e w e y ) , repeatedly refused to agree to such a plan." T h i s statement is utterly false. I would like to call your attention to the true facts. Governor Dewey was the first to sponsor the study of integration of Social Security benefits with State Employees Retirement benefits. H e originated the proposal and enthusla.stically supported It. I n a special message to the Legislature on February 2, 1954, CJovernor Dewey urged that the Pension Commission be r e vitalized. " . . . Its first m a j o r assignment should be the preparation of a program integrating the benefits provided by the F e d eral Social Security System with State and local retirement p r o grams . . . to provide broader and better-rounded protection for public employees and their f a m i lies . . Tells of L a w s Enacted Legislation was immediately drafted in the Governor's office to carry out this recommendation. T h e bill was enacted by the R e publican majorities in the Legislature and it became Chapter 98 of the laws of 1954. I t established a strengthened Pension Commission. T h e first assignment given the Pension Commission was to work out a system of integration. Section 2 of the law provides; " T h e commission shall undertake a study of the advisability of integrating old age and survivors insurance benefits under the federal social .security act with benefits provided by public employee pension or retirement systems maintained by the Slate or any political subidivision thereof. I t shall make a report or reports to the governor and the legislature concerning this study, together with recommendations f o r any changes in law or procedure it may deem necessary or desirable by February first, nineteen hundred fifty-five." P l a t f o r m Cited T h e Republican State platform f o r 1954 contains a specific pledge tc further the integration program. T h e fact is that little or no interest was evinced by the D e m ocratic party leadership in the integration proposal until n o w — and now it's another Dewey program they wish they had thought of first, and would like to appropriate and make their own.

State Pay Based on Obsolete 1953 Levels T H E B I G G E S T S I N G L E P R O B L E M t h a t confronts the publle employee today is his salary problem. This, in turn, is related to adequate recognition of his role in our complex social order. T h e public employee a c U as the catalyst of the divergent forces and pressures necessary to our civilization. T h e mo.st direct, e f f e c t i v e and satisfactory way of recognizing him as a necessary, vital, and integral part of society is an adequate wage. I n 1953 the State decided to embark on the installation of a new salary plan. One of the first action taken to provide a factual f o u n dation was an extensive wage survey. T h i s survey was made in tiie summer and fall of 1953. T h e survey provided a m a j o r bench m a r k in allocating State positions to the new salary plan.
