The largest group affected is the guard service. The prison guard title has been changed to correction officer. Supervisory personnel in the guard service will correspondingly be called correction sergeant, lieutenant and captain. The changes have long been sought by employees, and will go into eflfect April 1, 1957. No change in salary is involved. Other reclassifications are from criminal hospital attendant tocorrection hospital attendant, and matron to correction matron, with corresponding titles In the supervisory levels. Kaplan Attacks D is crim in at ion In Promotions T h e plan adopted by the New York City Civil Service Commission, and administered by the Personnel Department, for the promotion of employees in the ungraded service, without examination, because they were working out of title, is Illegal, says H. COUNTY DELEGATES COMPARE NOTES of responsibility, and with correspondingly Increased income. They deserve protection against I penalty f o r working out of title, ' a condition Inflicted on them, he says, but asks that the solution be applied legally by practicising uniformity. He advises that a general policy be adopted, for both the graded and the ungraded services, and that employees in both branches be treated alike, all those entitled to retain their present jobs and duties being given appropriate titles, hence promoted, without examination. Mr. Kaplan recalled that was the equal policy pursued by the State in its reclassification, and in the Ranispeek Act that affected thousands of Federal employees In 1940. Possible Loss of Job T h e graded service consists of titles with salary limits to each grade; there are no limits in the ungraded service.

GOODMAN JEWELERS it h^ad^fmuimfir On June 28th we appeared before the Board of Estimate and expressed the bitter disillusionment which Senior Clerical Employees had found in the Career and Salary Plan. W e reminded the Board that, while other clerical groups had rightfully received almost 223% increase in top salary, we had received only 8.5%, with future promotional opportunities almost entirely foreclosed. W e reminded them that 20,000 citizens had signed petitions requesting fair and comparable pay f o r Senior Clerical Employees, and we repeated our petition for reclassification into Salarry Grade 9. At that time M a y o r Wagner promised u.s that the Board of Estimate would restudy the question d u r i n « the summer, "without stalling," and that we would receive a definite decision. « W e did not press the matter at the July and August meetings, but we did respectfully urge the Board of Estimate to callendar the item for its meeting of September 27th. Still we received no word. W e appeared at the September 27th meeting to a.sk the question: " W h e n do we receive a reply?" W e got no answer. Justice Samuel C.

Progress in 1956 Great Achievement Story By JOHN F. POWERS President, Civil Service Employees Association Since my report to the delegates at the March 1, 1956 meeting, our Association has enjoyed the most successful period in its history from the standpoint of accomplishments for our members. Reports of committees furnished delegates at this meeting will f u r alshed many interesting details of our accomplishments and proiram, and It is my intent in this report to furnish only a brief outline. As to State salaries, the $300 flat increase prevailed in spite of Association efforts which continued to the last day of the legislative •ession to secure a more substantial across-the board percentage Increase which would have been more equitable for all employees A t the lime the salary study made by the State Itself showed that State salaries were generally behind those in private industry by more than 10";^. Based on the fact that the salary Increase was inadequate this year and on the adjustments made In private industry wages during the last year, you may be sure that the Association will exert every possible effort and influence to gain justice in salary matters for State workers during the coming year. Our Association was gratified by the reduction in worlc hours Recent amendments in Federal of thousands of institution em- Law, which remove the requireployees without loss in take-home ment that every member of the pay.

Our Association will continue its efTorts to gain for our members in local governments orderly title classification, compensation planning. equal pay for equal work, and fair treatment salary-wise. Hi'oUli Insurance We won a State-sponsored Health Insurance Program. W e have advised the Temporary State Health Insurance Board that employees expect this plan to take ell'ect on the target date —January 1. 1957—and we have been assured by the Chairman of the Board that every effort will b « made to accomplish this. We have furnished the Board with a general description of the insurance protection desired by employees and have urged the Board to furnish employee representatives and insurance carriers with a tentative description of the insurance protection propoised under the State Plan at the earliest possible date so that the matter can be discussed in more detail. CSEA will do everything possible to attain the broadest protection possible under the State Health Plan. W e are very hopeful that the plan will prove very successful and be used as a model for local governments, and we shall assist our members employed by political subdivisions to obtain adequate governmentsponsored insurance protection. CSEA gained the reopening of the 55-year Retirement Plan until December 31st. and has taken steps to bring this opportunity to the attention of all members of the Retirement System. W e won legislative approval of our proposal to increase the ordinary death benefit under the Retirement System, but this was vetoed by Governor Harriman with the advice that a Legislative Committee was presently studying the matter, CSEA will do its utmost during the coming year to gain retirement liberalization including half-pay retirement after 25 years' service, increase in the ordinai-y death benefit, vested rights after 10 or 15 years' service, and improvement of supplemental retirement allowances to retired employees.

He point* out the the age is 70 for the remainder of the state service, and can see no reason why the teachers should be penalized. He is quite right. Be•ides, chronological age is becoming less important than biological age, in many spheres of operation and as many disciplines, including the Presidency of the United States. Government has set an example, on the age score, both as to hiring and retirement. It does not have the rigid and meagre age limits f o r appointments that private industry inflicts, nor does it require one in good health to retire at a premature age. The Federal government hires persons more than 70 years old, although on a one-year renewable basis. Contrast thia fact with the recurrence of the age 35 limit in the advertisements published by private Industry in the help wanted columns of the daily newspapers. There is nothing political about a retirement age, although in an election year anything can be distorted into a political issue. The Governor's proposal, f o r which he is seeking all the help he can get, should win unanimous support in the Legislature. Fortunately the election will be »ver two months before the Legislature meets. G Is It necessary to be a citizen of the United States In order to collect Social Security benefits?—B.E. No. However, there are certain restrictions on payments to aliens living outside the U. S. Is it better for a working woman to claim her benefit before age 85?—P.O'R. I f she choo.ses the reduced benef i t at any age between 62 and 65, she will be ahead for the first 15 years. However, If she receives a reduced benefit f o r more than 15 years, the total amount received will not be as large as if she had waited until age 65 for the higher benefit MODERN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION i Examiner Co to Great Lengths to Test Merit and Fitness of Laborers ' T H E M E T H O D that Phoenix, Ariz., uses to test men who apply f o r City Jobs as laborers deserves attention because it Involves m o r t than feeling their pulse, according to the Civil Service A.ssembly, A physical agility examination Is given. Some exercises deteef any malfunction of the body. Other exercises determine c o o d i n a t l o « and balance. T h e last set of exercises tests endurance. I f a man fails to perform one or more of these exercises edequat#. ly, he Is given an opportunity to take a special performance test. l a this test three observers watch each candidate do the following: (1) Select a tool, load a wheelbarrow, wheel it up an inclined surface and dump it. (2) Unload and reload three sacks of cement from a pickup truck. (3) Drive an iron stake with a maul. (4) Select a tool and break through {in asphalt surface. On the basis of the recommendations of the observers, the applicant is either rejected or his naine is returned to the eligible list. Before applicants are examined for physical agility, however, thejT are screened as to residence, ages citizenship, and ability to read and write. Those who pa.<;s are given an application blank and told that they should return with a completed application blank and proofs of what they have said about their qualifications. Then, a team ef technicians checks the records during a five-minute personal interview to detect any disqualifying police record.s. Also, notation Is made of unusual mannerisms or personal characteristics that might hel» determine the stability of a candldalt. All who pass the qualifications up to this point are then directed to the mass calisthenics drill, at which their agility is tested. I | ! j i ; j W H A T benefits are provided for disabled children?

The facilities and know-how of N e w York State Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans have been pooled to provide a group experience contract with uniform rates and benefits. 2 . " T h e plan should include a comprehensive basic hospitalization insurance under which the insured's hospital bill would be paid by the carrier except for the difference in cost of private accommodations over the cost of semi-private. Such basic hospitalization feature should provide at least 120 days for any one admission and should tie in with the major medical or catastrophe provisions of the plan f o r further hospitalization coverage." A Blue Cross Contract with 120 days of comprehensive hospital service has already been prepared and is now on file with the N e w Y o r k State Department of Insurance. Blue Cross and Blue Shield are prepai-ed to provide a progi'am of extended benefits with payments toward the cost of Private Duty Nursing, Visiting Nursmg Service, Care for Mental Conditions, Diagnostic and Professional Services, Care of Tuberculosis Cases, Ambulance Service, Drugs out of the Hospital, Long Term Hospital Stays and other benefits designed to meet the budgeting requirements of State employees. " T h e medical-surgical protection of the plan should guarantee full payment of medical and surgical expenses while the insured employee is hospitalized, and for the future care of such condition after the employee is discharged from the hospital. W e recommend that there be no income limitation f o r the payment of medical and surgical bills. If income limitation be deemed necessary, it should be fixed at a level high enough to have no adverse effect on 85-90% of State employees." The new comprehensive Blue Shield contract will provide paid-in-full coverage f o r surgery and medical care in the hospital f o r more than 85% of State employees, In addition, to State employees with higher incomes, Blue Shield will make available more liberal allowances than now provided under present coverage. " W e urge inclusion in the plan of a major medical or catastrophe insurance to protect State employees against the crushing financial burden which results f r o m prolonged illness. W e feel that this coverage should be at least $15,000 f o r an one illness and that it should include hospitalization, medical and surgical care, private nursing duty where necessary, necessary therapeutical treatments and allied processes as well as coverage for drugs, pharmaceuticals and similar expenses." Blue Cross and Blue Shield are prepared to provide an extended benefit program (see # 2 above) f o r prolonged illness with benefits designed to meet the budget requirements of State employees. The objective of the program is to give N e w York State employees more benefits at less cost. " W e urge that both the basic and the major medical coverage include nervous and mental disorders." Benefits for the care of mental and nervous disorderu have been included iii the extended benefit program. To Meet and Them ^^ " T h e Association opposes any deductible or co-insurance feature whatsoever in connection with the basic hospitalization and medical-surgical coverage. A n y deductible feature in the hasic coverage could well result in an employee paying more under the new plan than he presently pays for hospitalization under existing plans. W e recognize that most major medical or catastrophic coverages include a co-insurance feature as a part of the cost control. If such is deemed necessary in the State plan we urge that the percentage of co-insurance be kept at a minimum consistent with the safety of the plan." There are no- deductibles in the comprehensive Blua Cross Hospital Service Contract with 120 days of paidin-full benefits, and the newly designed comprehensi^ a Blue Shield contract for surgery and medical care in the hospital. " T h e Association urges the most liberal underwriting practices to the end that all State employees be eligible at the time of the inception of the plan and that there be no waiting period or exclusion by reason of existing physical conditions for such employees. W e also urge that newemployees be given a liberal period of time to apply for the plan and that their eligibility be without reference to medical examination, previous medical history or existing conditions." Since more than 75% of all State employees are now enrolled in Blue Cross and Blue Shield, there will ba no underwriting problems and no waiting periods. 8 . " W e urge that employees retired at the time of inception of the plan be covered to the maximum extent which it is possible to provide consistent with the cost thereof. W e feel that such coverage should be separate and distinct from that active employees plan in order that the experience of the already retired group would not be considered in the experience rating of the active emploves plan." It has always been the practice of Blue Cross and Blue Shield—and it will continue to be the practice of these non-profit community sponsored Plans—to provide for retired employees. 9 , " W e f e e l consideration should b « sfiven to the following in arranging the contract: a. W a i v e r of premium f o r employees suffering: prolonged disability who are off the State payroll. b. Appropriate conversion privileges at time of termination of employment other than by retirement. c. Non-cancellability. d. Coverage of dependent children after 18 while attending school or college. Continuity of protection is a basic principle of Blua Cross and Blue Shield. The employee who leaves tha group for any reason whatsoever will have the right to continue basic Blue Cross and Blue Shield protection on a direct payment basis. With legislative approval, the present 19 year old limitation f o r the child covered under a Family membership could be extended up to 23 years of age. Blue Cross and Blue Shield do not cancel a subscriber's membership because of age or excessive usa of services . . . there is no red tape when services are required. Blue Crosa and Blue Shield Identification Cards assure prompt service. Blue Cross pays tha hospital while Blue Shield pays the doctor.

Wendt, Forum Preeldent, •aylng that all IB,000 employeee Whose Jobs have been audited will ke notified of results. Mr. Schechter's letter: "Following accepted penonnel wractlces, both public and private, we aubmltted preliminary recomnendatlons for reclassification to department heads for their oonfl4entlal consideration. This waa 4one In late May or early June, i9B6. The department's reactions k> our proposals on theae Individual positions were considered, M d In early July department Beads were officially notified of the new titles for the nearly 8,000 employees who received upward re•laMlfieatlon. Simultaneously this Information was released to the dvll service press, and waa flven Wide publicity. It la our feeling that publicity was given to detormlnatlons at the earliest pos•Ible time consonant with the b«it management pi^nclples. ^ Big Clerical Job ^'Secondly, you have charged that we have deliberately failed to announce the classification evalu•tlons for all positions surveyed. Purlng the past weelu we have keen in the process of developing plans and procedures to officially notify all 16,000 people audited of the results of this survey. This Is •nderstandably a tremendous clerical task. Also, the Information has not been released, pending the establishment of rules, regulations and forms by the Classification Appeals Board. W e believe that it would be fairer to employees and would avoid unnecessary commuBlcatlons to Include In the official notice of classification full laforBiatlon concerning appeals procedures and availability of forny.

An elaborate position •umbering and position control system has been developed and is already operating in certain areas as a result of our desire to clearly difterentlate between the position and the Incumbent. Calls Job Exemplary "Finally, it is my feeling, as Personnel Director, that my Classification Bureau, In cooperation With other units in my department, has performed an exemplary Job under extremely difficult conditions. In no public Jurisdiction In Itie nation has a career and salary plan as comprehensive as this one tieen installed, mass Job auditing been undertaken and completed, With the rapidity that the Department of Personnel, working with the Official of the Budget Director, has accomplished here In New York City. There is no question that In dealing with thousands of positions Individual errors have M e n made.

T h e State Civil SeiTlce Department staff has proposed changes In the rules relative to use of probationary periods that would reauire such periods in noncompetitive class positions and on first promotions, as well as reinstatements and transfers.

I would be amiss not to command our entire headquarters and field staff for their diligent, efficient and f a i t h f u l service to our Association.

I am sure t h a t the success and progress of the Association duping the last year has been most gratifying^ to the Chapter and As.soclatlon Officers and Committees who give unselfishly of their time and effort on behalf of our members. If our members had to pay for the services given by these unselfish employee leaders, it Is obvious that our membership dues would have to be set at a figure much higher than the present amount.

Incensed that some employees are promoted without examination, while other employees, equally deserving, are not, have asked Mr. Kaplan if Ihey could retain him to wage suits against the City, to compel the abandonment of the present practice. They are awaiting his answer. Friends of Mr. Kaplan say that he will accept, unless New York City changes its policy to eliminate the present discrimination. " T h e promotion of ungraded employees, as practised at present, without examination, is a policy of favoritism," said Mr. Kaplan.
