title i.s assigned and the scliool

has to be filled through the usual
examination process. If the job
statement is faulty, it may not
show the position as it actually
exists, but since the Department
does not have sufficient staff to
make field audits of such requests,
the statements made by the Superintendent of Schools have to be
accepted on face value. T h e Municipal Service Division of the
Civil Servic:; Department has since

limitations of their staff to see
that the law, rules, and general
policy of the State Commission
are administered in the school
districts.
Closer attention should be given
to appointments from eligible lists
covering the titles of school custodian, school custodian-bus driver, and various maintenance positions, to prevent appointment of
temporary and provisional appointees wliere the positions are
clearly permanent positions which
should be liiled from established
eligible lists.
The School District Unit of the
Municipal Service Division has
assigned one of its employees to
establishing lists certifying them
to .school districts, making certain
that the appointees are reachable
on the eligible lists, and trying to
make certain tliat all tlie appointments are legally made. A great
deal more time is spent on the
custodian program now than was
previously necessary. Where eligibles are available, the Municipal
Sen-ice Division makes every effort
to prevent approval of provisional
appointee.
The non-leaching school employees urge a more careful consideration in tlie announcements
of examinations to make certain
that residence requirements are
clear and understandable.
The open-competitive examination announcements with the exception of custodian, stenographer,
and typist contain the following:
" T h i s examination is being held

High School Requirement
In Fireman Test Is Almost Sure;
Applications Open Next Month
Applications will be received by
N Y C next month for fireman
(F. D.) Jobs.
Even announcement that the
test was about to be opened caused a considerable Increase in the
Personnel Department"s mail and
telephone
calls, as
propective
candidates sought Information on
whether a high school diploma
would be necesary, the physical
test will be competitive, and appointment prospects.
Mr. Lamb discussed ways of
creating interest in chapter activities. Mr. Holliter discusseed the
payment of claims, and Mr. Hungerford announced the schedule
for personal consultation with
SERS representatives on retirement matters. Mr. Methe appointed nominating and standing committees.
EDWARD J. KELLY
9 E I I V I C B
The likelihood is that the requirement of a high school diploma. or an equivalency diploma,
prior to appointment, will be required. No decision has been made
by the City Civil Service Commission, which will abide by the
preference of Fire Commissioner
Edward F. Cavanagh Jr.
The Personnel Department sent
Commissioner Cavanagh a copy
of the proposed "advertisement,"
as the ofncial notlca of examination is called. The high school requirement Is Included, as it was In
the current patrolman (P.D.) test.
It Is not necessary to have either
diploma to compete, only to get
appointed. Since there is plenty
of time between the fireman exam
date. In May or June, and t h «
first call to Jobs for the new ellglbles, an equivalency diploma could
be obtained well in time. Such
an exam is not difUcult, but prep-
aration for It practically assures
success. Some schools give a special course for passing the equivalency test, which Is given by
the Board of Education.
Wliy the Scml-Certalnty
The Inclusion of the high school
requirement appears almost certain because the Fire Department
can not afford to put itself at a
disadvantage to the Police Department, particularly on any
basis for higher salaries for the
uniformed fire force. The usual
praj!tlce has been for the pay of
a patrolman and a fireman to be
the same, at the start, and with
the same higher rate after the
third year.
The policemen are twice as
numerous as the firemen. If City
officials should propose patrolman
get more than firemen, and high
school requirement were omitted
from the firemen test, the argument could be made, that the patrolman minimum requirements
are higher.
There is a difference of opinion In the department Itself, on
the high school requirement. Commissioner Cavanagh himself was
once quoted as saying that he saw
no reason for its inclusion. The
Uniformed Fire Officers Association favors inclusion, the Uniformed Firemen's Association is
opposed.
One proposal, referred to the
Fire Department and employee
groups, was that the written test
be given greater weight than the
physical. The UFA strongly opposed the Idea of difference la
weights.
Job Prospects
In the patrolman test, the
physical,
formerly
competitive,
was made qualifying. Instead. I n
the fireman test there Is no such
propect. The physical will be
competitive. The exam requirements, save for possibly the one
about high school, will be the
same as in the last one.
Pay starts at $4,000 a year and
rises to $3,315 after three years.
Minimum height is 5 feet 6»4
inches, ages 20 to 29, with an upper-limit age allowance to veterans.
The Fire Department Pension
Fund permits retirement at half
pay after 20 years' service, with
$50 a year additional, for not more
than 10 years, hence not in evcese
of $500 addltionay. The City paye
75 percent of the pension cost.
Appointment prospects are speculative, but may be considered well
above the average of even the past
few years. Commisloner Cavanagh
asks for 2,058 wmore fireman Job«
in his departmental estimate for
1959-50. Recently 69 were appointed.
UFOA Wants Pensions
For Longevity Raised
" W e need to know, among other
things, how many retired teachers and State employees are solely dependent on these pensions
and we need to know what the
various approaches to the solution are," the Chief Executive said.
Inadequate was the Governor's
evaluation of the present supplemental pension system.
The Uniformed Fire Officers
As.sociation of the N Y C Fire Department is exerting strong efforts
to get an Increase of the pension
allowed for service beyond 20
years. Members of the department
who were appointed prior to April
1, 1940 feel that the $50 added to
pension for each year of service
beyond 20 years is a pittance, since
pension contributions by the employee continue during those "super-years."
RULING ON RESIDENCE
A person is not deemed to have
gained a residence for voting purposes simply because of his absence from the State while employed in the Federal service, A t torney General Jacob K. Javlts
has ruled in an informal opinion.
After 20 years' service, retirement at half pay is provided. If a
member of the Fire Department
continues working beyond that
period, he figures that he is working for half pay, anyway, because
had he retired after 20 years' he
would have received half pay while
not working. But when he con-
tinues on, his pension contributions likewise continue, and the
money he puts up during the excess period, he figures, is far more
than the value of the extra
amount he will get back.
Called Worst Feature
One member of the department
said that single phase is the worst
feature of Article I of the Fire
Pension Fund.
Also, after 10 years, the additional $50 is not added for each
extra year of service.
The UFOA has accumulated a
portfolio of documentary proof
of the Justice of its claim. It reports that 90 per cent of the problems brought before the association by its members relates to
pensions, and that recognition of
the need for pension increase for
the service years beyond 20 is one
of the leading pension goals at
the membership.

N o Fear of

M r . Kaplan, an advisor to Presidents Truman and Elsenhower on
retirement matters and an expert
In the public employee retirement
field for decades, declared that at
no time was Social Security conceived as a means of reducing
other benefits.
"Social Security, after ail, is
Insurance against casualties," M r .
K a p l a n told his audience. " O n e of
Itt m a j o r aspects is that the

Pension plans, on the other
hand, are an investment "paid f o r

T h e r e is no real controversy
over Social Security. T h e State
employees Just don't want Integration, any more than employees in
private industry want It.
T h r e e cases are at hand—Eastman Kodalc, General Electric, and
Standard Oil Company of N e w
Jersey. Under all three plans there
Is no connection with Social S e curity pensions, which employees
receive additionally. Under
all
thrf'o
ion pension pIo.ns,
there Is no upper limit to pensions.
Kodali pays the full cost. General
Electric has a contributory plan,
but In 1957 G. E. pays the full
cost. Standard Oil has a contributory plan. All three plans contain
provisions f o r vested rights.

Hidden Clue
The possibilities Just related
are beyond the scope allowed by
the question. All the candidate is
asked to do is select the most
likely explanation, which would
be the one that is In line wit
common experience. How often
does one hear of a murderer turning on the gas jets, to kill an inteneded evictim of homicidal fury,
as compared to how often one
reads of a person intent on suicide turning on the gas? Therefore
( C ) is the most likely explanation.
The question reveals that the
husband "stated" that on arrival
he found the burners were shut
off. A suspicious candidate might
wonder why the husband's word
is believed, especially as this is a
death case, in which the police,
or even a civil service examiner,
Is supposed to suspect everybody
until Justified in doing otherwise.

the same question is asked. N o w

Budget
and a fonr-hour-a-week reduction
f o r 33,000 aide.? who work 44 and
48 hours a week,
" I have provided sufficient funds
to guarantee
a
no-loss-ln-pay
provision for these employee.s,"
the Governor said.
Pttge
Message
services are performed. T o bring
about this change, the y e a i - e n d
institutional payrolls In the 195556 fiscal year will be charged to
that year.
T h e Administration's pay rai.se
plan, Mr. Harrlman noted, means
" t h a t most civil service employees
win receive a flat $300 per year
pay increase."
" I am Including in the sum set
asidee for special and supplemental bills fimds to enable the State
to contribute to an
employee
health program. I shall propo.«e
legislation authorizing this in a
special message."
T h e appropriation includes funds
to hire additional per.sonnel to
effect the work-week reduction in
State institutions.
Mr. Harriman's plan for State
contribution
to
an
employee
health program will be presented
In a .special me.ssage to be- delivered later.
More State Aides Needed
T h e entire budget message is
sprinkled with references to upward pay adjustments for State
workers, and with the need for
additional
per.sonnel
in
many
agencies to increase the efficiency
of piesent operations and provide
for new services.
' T i g h t BudKet'
" I have made a tight budget."
the Governor said, "which provides
minimum Increa.ses for normal,
continuing expenditures and at
the same time makes it po.ssible
. . . to ral.se the whole levt' of pay
for State employees with greate.st
percentage of benefits going to
those In lower pay brackets; to
reducc by four hours the exce.ssive
work week of more than 29,000
State personnel who now are engaged for 48 hours a week, and for
4,000 who work 44 hours: and to
establish a health program for all
State personnel,"
T h e specifically "civil service"
portion of the Governor's budget
message follows:
"Concern for persons in the
lower income groups Is reflected
In my proposal for pay a.id workweek
adjustments
for
State
employees.
.
Our
pay
schedules for middle and lower
level positions compare u n f a v o r ably with those of nearby states,
the City of New York, and the
Federal government. In order to
restore equity for our present employees at this pay level and to
improve our ability to recruit
qualified people, it is essential to
bring our pay schedules into line
with those of other public employers.
" I have also been disturbed by
the fact that 33.000 of our employees have under long-established practice worked on a yearly
ba.sis more
than
the
modern
standard 40-hour week. Slightly
more than 29,000 of the.se e m ployees are working a regularly
scheduled 4-hour work week.
Biweekly Pay Checks
"Appropriations of $28.3 million
are recommended In this budget
to provide sufficient funds to give
an equivalent of a 15 per cen Increa.se on the first $2,000 of ba.se
pay to civil service employees of
the State. This means that most
civil service employees will receive
a flat $300 per year pay increa.se.
These appropriations 'vlll also provide for new positions required to
permit the reduction by four
hours per week in the hours of
employees now regularly scheduled for 44 or 48-hour work weeks.
In order to prevent losses in pay
to some Individuals as the result
of a reduction in their work week,
I have provided sufficient fimds to
guarantee a no-lo.ss-ln-pay provision for these employees.
" B y an enactment made last
year as a result of employee requests, It
was determined
to
change from the semi-monthly
salary payment plan heretofore In
effect to a biweekly plan. Since
fiscal years do not divide regularly on any but a monthly basis. In
arranging for the shift It has been
found
advisable
to
devisi
a
method for charging payroll expenditures In ihe year that the

Pai-t of the $500,000 Increase in
funds for new services to the aging will provide
pre-retirement
counseling ol State workers, by
the Civil Service Department, and
will finance a study of State practices and policies affecting older
employees. Additional older-worker counsellors are sought for tli#
Divi.sion of Employment
Local Civil Service
" I recommend," Mr. Harriman
said, " t h e sum of $30,000 for the
Civil Service Department to establish new po.sitlons in the Municipal Service Division. T h e Divi.sion
has not been able to keep current
with its legal obligations to municipalities, especially with
respect to the conduct of civil service examinations for local jurisdictions. At the present time there
are
approximately
6 300 provisional and war duration employees
In local jurisdictions who should
have taken civil service examinations long ago.
" T h e additional statf is needed
to correct the.se conditions."
Some 550 new po.sitions. costing
$1.8 million, are sought for the
Corporation T a x , Income T a x and
Collection Bureaus of the Department of Taxation and Finance.
Mental Hygiene
An increase of $263,000 is sought
for training psychiatrists, nur.ses,
attendant and others in the M e n tal Hygiene Department. " T h i s
is added to a present training
budget totaling $2.8 million," Mr.
Harriman pointed out.
" I am also recommending $828.000 for bettering the ratios of
profes.sional staff in the hospitals,"
he added, "and $492,000 additional to improve the ward staffing

Write to Your
Legislators
G O V E R N O R A V E R E L L H A R R I M A N delivered his
budget message to the Legislature on Wednesday, February 1, It recommended a salary increase of $300 for
State workers and the partial reduction of working hours
for institution employees which had been proposed earlier.
W e objected to both proposals before and we voice
our objections again. Both proposals, we insist, are inadequate solutions of thorny problems for the State's civil
sen'ants.
The Legislature expects to adjourn on or about
March 17. That gives us about five weeks in which to impress the legislative officials with the cogency of our demands. On the front page of this week's L E A D E R is an
urgent recommendation that we let the legislative bodies
know of our position on both matters. Write Or talk to
your Senator and Assemblyman as soon as you can.

changes.
D. J. Carlson of Willard has
submitted the following summingup:
T h e outstanding change, he reports, was the moving of the bakery activity from outmoded, poorly equipped quarters at the traffic
circle, to the new building Just
west of the old horse barns. T h e
change took place In March, even
though the new facilities were not
completed.
T h e bakery Is located on two
floors, with an oil heating system
In the basement. Flour is stored
on the second floor, where It and
other ingredients are mixed, and
the dough allowed to ri.se. On the
first floor, the loaves are cut,
baked and wrapped.
One Handling Operation
Only step requiring handling
occurs when the loaves are placed
in baking pans.
It's a nutritious and tasty loaf,
reports Mr. Carlson.
T h e general storehouse activities and the butcher shop are also
located in the new building.
" N o t only are the working conditions ideal," says the W i l l a r d
aide, "but there is ample r e f r i g eration space for keeping meats,
and for quick freezing." Other refrigerating unit.s and dry storage
mreas are In the ba.sement.
T h e west end of the building,
which Is at ground level, will be
equipped as a vegetable preparation room. T h e remainder of ths
west end is devoted to the pasteurizing and Ice cream plants.
Employee Cafeteria
A new patients' building, near
the village street between the Seneca Home and the Infirmary, will
be occupied as soon as kitchen
equipment Is installed. T h e present kitchen and cooler area of the
Ii\flrmary will become a cafeteria
f o r employees of that group.
Grand View, "oldest and best
of the old buildings," is to have
• $500,000 face lifting. Including
new floors, new windows, additional toilet facilities, a new elevator, and rearrangement of the
day room space. Including construction of a porch across the
front of the building.
Appropriation has been made
f a r the Job. Rehabilitation of
Sunnycroft will get under way
a f t e r the Grand View contracts
