T H E R E T I R K M E N T S Y S T E M of the State of New York Is In
definite need of revision. For many years its inadequacy has been
keenly felt by hundreds of public employees.
When the system was introduced in the early 20 s, it was scientifically constructed. In fact at that time, the State Retirement system was pointed to as a model of achievement. However, during the
Intervening years many drastic things have happened which have
seemed to depreciate the dollar value of the system. A world war and
a decade of great inflation have served to lessen materially the buying
power of a dollar. Thus a person who might have had an adequate
retirement allowance 20 years ago. now flnds himself in dire financial
straits.

Unrealized
Many employees have found, upon retirement, that a system
which promised protection in their later years, failed to provide little
more than the lowest standards of living. Recently we formed a special committee at the Association to look into the problems of the
retired public employee. W e asked through the columns of The
L E A D E R that the pensioners write to us. Since then we have received
scores of letters—many of them outlining the bare levels upon which
many public employees are living today. The letters show up something decidedly wrong—something which in our enlightened society
should not go on without correction.
One retired person writes, " I retired two years ago at age 59
after 20 years in State service, with a pen.sion of $45.27 a month—
because of a heart condition I am unable to supplement my pension
by working. My medicine costs me $12 a month, and that does not
include at least one office call a month to the doctor. That leaves me
a balance of $30 a month to live on. Consequently, I am dependent
on my family. . . ."

High Time Provisionals
Cot Those Back Raises
ayor Robert F. Wagner's intimation, if not promise,
that provisionals would be given a public heai'ing
on their request for retroactive raises, the same raises as
other N Y C employees got, is welcome.
The provisionals have a good case. They worked during the necessary one-year period f o r retroactive raises to
apply, and their minimum would have to be higher of
course under the Career and Salary Plan than it was previously; but an exception, applied to them in a roundabout way, excludes them. That way was to say that the
same exception applies as was true of other gains voted
previously by the Board.
A t a Board of Estimate meeting, the provisionals
•were given to understand that the resolution would be
amended, so that they could be included. Mayor W a g n e r
was present, so was Personnel Director Joseph Schechter.
In fact, Mr. Schechter made the promise, a f t e r consulting
other oflicials. Budget Director Abraham D. Beame was
absent at the time. H e has said that he never promised any
Buch thing. N o r did he.
Outlandish results have f o l l o w e d the necessary adherence by Compti'oller Lawrence E. Gerosa to the policy
laid down by the Board. Competitive employees, who have
permanent standing, or status, who have been filling higher positions provisionally are excluded from benefit as
if they were provisionals in the true sense, that is, had
never passed an exam. Provisionals of any kind render a
service to a City that has no eligible lists from which to
fill positions permanently. Many provisionals are hard-toget professionals and experts. None must be penalized f o r
conditions they did not create.

Plea.se accept my thanks for
your taking our side in the struggle to get the 40 per cent d i f l c i ential pay. I am a regular civil
service employee with many years
of .service. A few years ago I was
given a leave of absence to fill
a higher job provisionally. I have
permanent status in the lower
title, yet I am called a provisional, and denied retroactive pay.
Concerning the N Y C government, department heads and employees alike ask for a sum total
of more than can be granted
within the financial limitations of
the City Treasury. T h e fact has
remained undisputed through the
years. T h e Budget Director therefore has to say N o a great m a n y
more times than he says Yes. T l i e
department heads realize that on
funds, generally, he says Y e s
nearly as often as he can.

quality stock and followed t h e
guidance given each purchaser by
the Associated Breeders. T h e price
of a breeding pair is $995.00, cage

pvu-chaser receives a written guarantee that his chinchillas will live
and reproduce and at the end of
the year should

T h e amount of time Involved in
breeding these valuable rodents is
small. T h e y require little care,
bathe themselves by rolling in a
sand-filled pan, live on dry pellets
prepared especially f o r chinchillas, and bccause of the extreme
density of their f u r are immune
to vermin. T h e cost of feeding is
only about five dollars a year f o r

asked, " W h a t ' s the c a t c h ? " Mrs.

was headed "Cellar, Attic Ranches

f r o m other local papers telling
how local people had made comparatively small Investments in
breeding
chinchillas
and
had
built up herds running to six figures In value. P r o m her own r e c ords Mrs. Leroy cited the example
of M r . B e n H o w a r d w h o had

But she did warn that the buyer
of chinchillas must be cautious.

A s with other animals, where they
have been Inbred, the quality ol
ths animal drops, they loss f e r tility and produce offspring with

own animals, this great I d a h o
herd is a product of more than a
decade of selective breeding. Over
the years an intensive program of
culling and pelting the light producers and below standard animals has resulted in a herd of
quality animals. Associated Breeders helps purchasers avoid any
mistakes in breeding by providina
a consultation service and a r r a n g ing to exchange animals when
needed to bring new blood lines to
the herd to eliminate the danger
of Inbreeding.

Highest Court to Pass
On Right to Fire at
To Hear Security Case
W A S H I N G T O N , Nov. 2 8 - - T h e
United States Supreme Court will
decide whether President Eisenhower had authority to subject
all U. S. employees to the security program, including the right
of a department head to dismiss
a employee, without giving tlie
accused the right to be faced by
his accusers, or dismissal being
actually related to national security.
Kendiick M . Cole, a former
food and drug Inspector in New
York, felt he had gained .some
headway when the Supreme Court
agreed to pass on the case. Otherwise he
would
have
".stayed
licked." as he was unsixce.ssful
in the courts below, in his effort
to be reinstated.
The Two Laws
A law passed by Congre.ss in
1950 made employees of specified
agencies a security ri.sk test. T h e
departments included State. T r e a sury. Justice, Commerce, and Defense. T l i e Atomic Energy Commi.ssion also was included. Ne.tt
President Eisenhower, in 1953, issued an executive order that at-
L E A D E R
The security program, says Mr.
Cole, is being abused to the extent that Federal employees are,
being fired at an agency's will, on
vague
accusations
concerning
J
T h e i.ssue of confrontation by
accusers, is far-reaching, too. as
the FBI. the Secret Service, and
other police and
investigating
arms of government say they will
lose their informers, and ije prevented from getting new ones,
if they must reveal the identity of
informers.
Names on the following N Y C
eligible lists have been sent to
personnel olYicors in the department mentioned, for possible appointment to existing vacancies.
Since more names are "certified"
than tliere arc job openings, all
eligibles certified may not be called

the cost difference would be taken

Summary of Findings, paragraph
6, states: " A s a result of the 1954

A n s w e r — B e f o r e the benefit can
be conferred under Federal law,
the Governor of the State must
c e r t i f y to t h e Secretary of the
Treasury that the following five
requirements have been met. 1,
the employees have voted In a
referendum In which there was a
secret ballot; 2, the oppwrtunity
to vote has been accorded only to
those employees entitled to vote;
3, not less than 30 days must
have elapsed between the r e f e r e n dum and the oflBcial announcement of I t ; 4. the referendum
must be conducted under the supervision of the Governor or an
agency or Individual designated
by him. T h e quoted Federal law
also provides that policemen and
firemen are excepted. I n addition,
the State would have to enact e n abling legislation regarding r e f e r enda. W h i l e It has adopted e n abling
legislation
concerning
other aspects of Social Security—
such as exclusion of particular
titles f r o m State pension system
eligibility, which permits Social
Security coverage without a r e f erendum—It has not enacted the
broader legislation required that
would permit both types of coverage f o r the same public Job. T h e
statement that the Federal law
does not permit dual coverage
should have been that the State
law would have to be amended to
permit the Federal law to operate.

The general practice has been to

other proposals, and the likelihood
is that New Y o r k would follow

be made by both employer and

emerges as one in which the e m ployee's cost is not increased, either the employer will meet the
additional cost by additional appropriations,

Editor, Tlie L E A D E R :
I have been reading with interest your articles pertaining to the
proposed integration of Social S e curity with the State Employees

though Informative, present only
one side. H o w about supplementation of Social Security with retirement system benefits.
the amount a retired employee
would receive before he reaches
his 65ih birthday; but after 65.
his civil service annuity is m o d ified (reduced by about 35 j>er
cent ) and to that reduced amount
would be added a Social Security
btnefit. T h e total would increase
the annuity before 65, by approximately 8 per cent. W h e n a w i f e
becomes 65, she would receive
one-half of his Social Security
benefit uf he has already retired
under Social Security).

" T h e committee recommendations f o r coordination of the Civil
Service Retirement Sy.stem with
Social Security will not improve
the Civil Service Retirement System but is an attempt to reduce
annuity costs of the government
at the expense of the government
worker.
" T h e shortcomings of the Civil

recognized. Improvement of the

tlon by reason of the favorable
action of the Director of Classification and Compensation than
they would have been had he disapproved their appeals.
•I am sure that you agree t h a t
it is a rather anomolous situation
where such persons are penalized
by reason of their success In convincing the Division of Classification and Compensation.
- W e have attached hereto a list
of the titles which were included
i a tliis category and urge you to
reconsider the decision by which
you disapproved the recommended allocations and classifications.
W e feel that such reconsideration
should be had both because of the
f a c t that they had no right to
appeal and because of the f a c t
that favorable consideration by
the Division of Classification and
Compensation certainly should tie
of high probative value in indicating: proper allocations and clas.sifications
of these positions. W e
have attempted to estimate the
annual cost of the allowances of
all of these appeals in accordance
with the recommendations of the
Director
of
Classification
and
Compensation. Our figures estim a t e that the approximate annual
cost would be $160,000. W h e t h e r
Of not such an amount is presently
available
in
appropriations
which could be used, we do not
know; if not, however, we feel
that it should have high priority
either in the deficiency appropriation f o r this year or by other
appropriations at the next session.
" A s we discussed with you at
our meeting on October 20, there
should also be made available
funds to Insure efTectuation of
those other appeals which the
Appeals Board m a y allow with
your approval. W e also recoinniend at this time that the policy
b « Initiated of providing annuat
appropriations to the Division of
Cla.ssification and Compensation
to be used during the f o r t h c o m ing year to correct inequities and
adjustments that become apparent during the year, thereby putting corrective action on a c u r rent basis. W e feel that
the
amount should be determined so
that for any particular ^scal year
there will be available a realistic
amount sufflcient to take care of
the normal inequities or a d j u s t ments as the need becomes a p parent. T h e appropriation of such
a sum of money f o r this purpose
would also permit the elimination
• f your veto power over r e c o m mendation of Classification and
Compensation to the extent o f ,
and until, such
appropriations
were exhausted.
" A s we understand it, the purpose of the veto power of the
Budget Director Is to give the
Budget Director an opportunity
to assure that reallocations and
reclassifications
are
consistent
with the fiscal position of the
State. I f a specific amount were
set aside in' advance f o r tlUs purpose, then to the extent of that
f u n d the technical personnel in
the Division of Classification and
Compensation charged with the
duty of job evaluation could and
should be f r e e to reallocate and
reclas.siry without the necessity of
a Budget veto power within the
limitations of the appropriation.
" W e trast that you will study
the suggestions contained herein
and reconsider the decision by
which you denied the reallocations
and recla.ssifications above referred
to as well as the suggestions with
respect to the establishment of a
f u n d f o r the correction of future
inequities or maladjustments in
the State salary structure. W e
would be happy to discuss this
matter with you at your convenience."

Joins in GSEA Drive
W E S T H E N R I E T T A , N o v . 28—
A dinner meeting of the member.ship committee, Rochester State
Ho.spital chapter, CSEA, was held
at Cartwright's Inn, here on N o vember 15.
Archie Graham, vice pre.sident
and committee chairman, gave an
up to date report on membership.
Membership, as of September 30,
1955 was at an all time high of
697. Mr. G r a h a m reported that
memberships this year were below
last year's figiires at the same
date. I>fovember 15, and a.sked renewed e f f o r t by the committee.
Dr. Christopher F. Terrence,
director, of the hospital, spoke on
the workings of the Association,
its
past
accompli.shments.
the
plans of insurance, the CSEA current program, and urged all e m ployees " t o join your Civil S e r vice As-sociation." H e also a.sked
members to become more active
on committees and expres.sed the
hope that the chapter's m e m b e r ship would continue to gain.
Increa.sed Publicity Urged
Patrick J. McCormack, senior
business officer, gave a very helpr
ful talk. H e stated that the m a jority of the members were poorly
informed as to the many benefits
that the CSEA has accomplished
f o r its members. H e suggested
that the chapter improve its publicity program, saying " v e r y f e w
employees know of the 15 per cent
free additional in.surance on their
life
policies." M r .
McCormack
feels that " n e w employees should
be made acquainted with the history and present plans of the Association."
" I n my opinion," he added, " i t
would be a membership incentive
if the chapter would subscribe to
a number of Civil Service L E A D ERS and give these subscriptions
to new employees, thereby stimulating membership."
T h e chapter was pleased that
Mrs. R u t h B. W a r r e n , new principal of the T r a i n i n g School, was
able to be a guest. She is very well
liked by the faculty and students
of the school and has made many
friend.s in her short time tliere.
Mrs. W a r r e n spoke briefly, and
the chapter appreciates her interest in Association matters.
Jack K u r t z m a n , field representative for the Western Conference
area, was principal speaker and
reviewed the many services, both
old and new, that are given to
C S E A members. " C o m p a r e the
cost of membership dues to that
of the unions," he said, " a n d you
will realize how well oft you are
in this matter.
" T h i n k also of the hard work
of your chapter officers, your
Conference and State officers who
work without salary, whose only
renumeration is In knowing that
they are helping your cau.se and
you will realize more fully that
you have a 'good deal' in the
CSEA."
Tribute to Mi.ss Heagney
Claude E. Rowell, president of
the Western Conference, said the
membership list should be carefully studied, adding more interested and active members to this
list and removing those who have
lo-st interest and are not doing
their job.
•Only by doing this," said he,
" c a n you expect to be a strong
committee, bccause without an

Tribute was paid to Elizabeth
Heagney, supervising nuine, by
Bill Rossiter f o r her f a i t h f u l support and interest. F o r years she
has been a most active member
on the membership
committee
and the chapter sincerely appreciates her hard work.
Mr.
Rossiter, chapter
president, who was toastmaster, spoke
on membership gains over the
last three years. Membership has
increased f r o m 566 on September
30, 1952 to 687 on September 30,
1955. H e was proud to announce
that the chapter is seventh in
membership in the Western Conference and is In f i f t h standing
of the 25 chapters in the D e p a r t ment of Mental Hygiene that
have their own charters.
The
president
thanked
the
committee
f o r achieving
these
standings. H e told the assembled
meeting that any and all suggestions that had been made to
improve membership would be
presented to the next executive
council meeting in December f o r

On behalf of the Civil Service
Employees
Association
oi
the
State of N e w Y o r k , which represents the employees of the State
of N e w Y o r k and of the counties
therein, I wish to vigorously protest the unwarranted refusal of
the Internal Revenue Service to
apply the recent holding of the
United States Court of Appeals in
Diamond v. Sturr and Bruen v.
Sturr, 221 Fed. (2d) 24, to other
similarly situated employees of
the State. T h e position of the
Service is completely unjustified
and results in great oppression.
Prior to 1949, the value of
maintenance furnished to e m ployees of N e w Y o r k State was
not included in gross income if
furnished f o r the convenience of
the employer pursuant to section
29.22 ( a ) 3 of the Treasury R e g u lation 111. A f t e r taking various
contradictory positions, the then
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
decided that the test set f o r t h in
that regulation did not
apply
where the maintenance
constituted compensation and that the
value of maintenance furnished to
all employees of the State of N e w
Y o r k , whose salaries are established by section 40 of the Civil
Service L a w , is Includible in gross
income, whether or not furnished
f o r the convenience of the e m ployer.
expense in the preparation and
trial of this action and retained
special tax counsel. T h e expense
of the trial and the subsequent
appeal to the Court of Appeals
would obviously have been unwarranted if the sole purpose of
the action were to obtain a refund f o r the two individuals i n volved since the amount claimed
by Dr. Diamond was only $164.44
and the amount claimed by M r .
Bruen was only $9.44. T h e Association
undertook
these
actions
solely on the basis of the agreement with the Internal Revenue
Bureau that it was a test case
which would be applied generally
to all similarly situated employees
of this State.
W h a t Association Did
T h e Civil Service
Employees
Association undertook immediate
steps to test the validity of this
ruling.
Numerous
conferences
were held with the Counsel of the
Internal Revenue Bureau as to
the most advisable method of procedure. I t was agreed, as a result
of these conferences, to institute
a test case to determine the validity of the ruling. T h e claims of
all similarly situated employees
were to be held in abeyance pending a determination in this test
case.
T w o typical cases were selected, one involving Dr. Diamond, a
psychiatrist in a hospital under
the control of the Department of
Mental Hygiene, and one involving M r . Bruen, an employee in
an Institution f o r dehnquent boys,
u n d e r I h e control of the E)epartment of Social W e l f a r e . Judge
Brennan of the District Court
considered these actions as a test
case which would determine the
tax status of all N e w Y o r k State
employees whose salaries
were
fixed by section 40 of the Civil
Service L a w .
Special Counsel Retained
T h e Civil Service
Employees
Association iucuired considerable
I have now been advised, h o w ever, that the Internal Revenue
Service has adopted the policy of
rejecting all such claims f o r r e funds by other employees of the
State of New Y o r k .
T h i s policy is grossly inequitable, creates grave injustices and
works a severe hardship on many
State employees. I t is obviously
unfair to place on t h e m the burden of instituting litigation to o b tain a r e f u n d to which the Court
of Appeals has already held they
are entitled. T h i s Is particularly
oppressive because the amount
Involved in each individual case
does not warrant the expense of
litigation by the indvldual a g grieved.
I hope you will not make it
necessary f o r the Association to
institute group actions on behalf
of the employees a f f e c t e d by this
ruling.
Effect in This Jurisdiction
I n view of the District Court o t
Appeals decision, it is clear that
the Association would be successful in any such action instituted
in this State. Accordingly, no
benefit can flow to the United
States f r o m such a policy of h a r a.ssment of individual taxpayers.
T h e only e f f e c t of the continuance of the Bureau's present policy would be to increase the cost
to the Federal G o v e r n m e n t of
making these refunds to approximately 2,000 employees involved.
If
the G o v e r n m e n t
believed
that the decision of the Court of
Apeals was wrong it had ample
opportunity to apply f o r review
by the U. S. Supreme Court. H a v ing acquiesced in the decision of
the Court of Appeals, by f a i l i n g
to appeal the issue, I cannot u n derstand how the Government, in
good conscience, can now refuse
to apply the same principles of
law to other employee sof the
State of New Y o r k who are similarly situated
I t is therefore urgently
requested that you reconsider this
policy with a view toward applyng the principles estabU.shed
by the decision of the Court of
Appeals in the Diamond
and
Bruen cases to all N e w Y o r k State
employees.
