Governor
T h e wire to the Governor said:
" I t has been reported to the
Civil Service Employees A.ssoclation that the Budget Director has
approved the application of the
variable minimum to facilitate the
hiring of attendants in the Mental
Hygiene institutions at Was.saic,
H a r l e m Valley, and Newark, N . Y .
T h e application of this minimum
will bring the starting salaries
at these institutions to more than
$300 over the starting salaries f o r
Mental Hygiene Attendants at any
other institution in the state.
W h i l e the Civil Service Employees Association believes that this
higher salary is completely Justified by the hiring needs, we feel
Price Ten
that this action underscores the
Association's contention that a
statewide salary increase is necessary this year.
" T h e use of this device definitely indicates that personnel will
not come to the public service unless the salary rates are comparable to those in private Industry.
T o approach the salary problem
in this manner will unquestionably tend to bring chaos into the
whole compensation plan and also
greatly disturb the principle of
equal pay for equal work embedded in the Civil Service Law.
"Furthermore the great need
f o r an overall salary adjustment
has been continuously Indicated
by the growing use which the Director of Classification and Co"^pensatlon has made of the variable minimum 11 hire the State's
personnel. T h e number of titles to
which the variable minimum has
been
applied has
more
than
doubled in the last year.
"Also, your hiring rate study
has shown that the State's salaries lag behind those in industry
by approximately 13%.
" W e definitely feel that this last
action of the Budget Director and
the Director of Classification and
Compensation
emphasize.s
the
great need for an immediate correction of the State's salary structure. W e emphasize again that
this action highlights the unrealistic approach to the State salary
problem which has been the problem for the past two years."

Higher Rates For New

For Pay Hike, Says CSEA
A L B A N Y , Jan. 21—The Civil

learned that three state Institutions last week were authorized to

the minimum beginning rate to
Improve recruitment.
While

the

of a general increase in salary

president, immediately dispatched
a telegram to Governor Harrlman
in which he outlined how the authorization proved a more realistic
approach to the entire salary
problem was needed.

Governor Averell Harriman, In
his message to the new State
Legislature, made no mention of
a raise for State employees.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New

gets adequate State aid, it would
start considering the requests of
teachers and New York City employees for a pay increase.
The City, it Is admitted, doe«
not need the additional aid to
balance the coming budget, but
asks for it on the ground that the
City should be treated on the

The Bayonne Story And Us
Once again the public service is made a patsy. In a municipal
melee In Bayonne, N. J. where the Standard Oil Company threatens
to move out if its taxes are increased, the city fathers and the good
citizens decided not to add to the oil company's tax bill but to make
up the fiscal deficit through a 10 "c reduction in municipal expenses.
T h e Board of Education and other services have been selected for the
•acrifice. T h e r e will be payroll cuts, iay-offs of city employees, and
there will be forced retirements of some of the school personnel. T h e
Superintendent of Education estimates that 68 people "could be lopped
oB the school budget" as one news story says.
A Victorian
Solution
W e do not know the whole story about the Bayonne situation.
But we are not a little stunned that in this era o t supersonic jets and
electronic computers, the first way anyone tries to resolve a municipal
mess is to cut public salaries and eliminate jobs. This is a 19th century notion which still appears to meet with approval. As an Immediate solution it seems easy—but to our mind it is both unworthy
and unintelligent in this twentieth century day. Surely among the
corporations located in B a y o n n e — ( a n d there are some big ones
t h e r e ) — t h e r e should be enough men of brains, vision and civic understanding to help solve the municipal problems of a city of 80,000,
without resorting to the hackneyed methods of yesteryear.
W e are certain that Bayonne's tax problem did not arise overnight. A little foresightedness and cooperation between the businessmen, the citizens and the city fathers when the symptoms of fiscal
dlfllculty of the city began to show could have avoided the sudden
panicky resort to drastic surgery.

Indifference
T h s public service should not always be made the sacrificial goat
of men's blunders or indifference. W e should have learned by this
t i m « that all difficulties in public administration cannot be solved by
»la,?hinB payrolls and laying oft personnel.
Our society is too complex and our democracy too precarious to
bs subject to the callous take it or leave it attitude of a big corporation. T h e business man has Just as much responsibility for the good
udministratlon of a community as the local commissioner or clerk
In the water department.
. T h e responsibility f o r any community's loose government must be
•qually shared by all segments of the community—and the sacrifices
necessary In the correction of any community's errors must by the
same token be equally shared. T h e public employees alone should not
ba asked to assume the whole burden.

" I n my statement to the Boai d
of Supervisors at * h e public budget hearing, I pointed out that
almost 3,000 hourly rate county
workers doing labor and trades
work were receiving pay scales
33 1/3 per cent less than prevailing labor rates in industry. As I
write this letter, the Nassau County Building Trades Council is
considering wage increases f o r
their membership.
"Because of successive years ot
inaction on adequate pay scale.s,
Nassau is now faced with the
stark problem of needing vast,
sums of tax money to right the
situation. From' press reports on
salary raises for another group ot
your employees, members of Nassau chapter believe a most serious
situation has developed in the
conduct of Nassau County's affairs.
" T h i s letter is written with the
hope that In making adjustments
of salary scales for Its workers,
Nassau County will treat all employees fairly and not favor one
group over others in this most
important action."

Private and Public Industry
Slate Industrial Commissioner Isador Lubin announced early
this year that public hearings will be held in four cities of the State
this month on proposals to Increase minimum wages in the laundry
end dyeing industries. Will the State instilutional launderers have
their reallocation hearings?
Town and State Recreation—An examination for Asssitant Recreation Superintendent in Mount Vernon is scheduled for the
month of January. Qualifications are high school graduation plus
5 years' recreation experience. Salary $4,700 to $5,500. A person
qualifying for this positon cannot, quaify for and would not be
permitted to take the Recreation Instructor examination in our department: starting salary $3,840. T h e town of Mt. Vernon will pay
approximately $900 per year more for a less trained pe'.son than
our department's Recreation Instructor. In our department alone
we have 40 vacancie.s in this title.

H E N it comes to salary adjustments, the public
employee seems to be in the same relative position as the moneylender of medieval s o c i e t y — w o o e d
when needed, scorned when not.
Though the public employee is not a lender, he does
have a vote, and it is extraordiiftiry to see Ihe pre-election concern over his financial plight.
It seems that the only time public employees deserve a vote is when the ijoliticians need 1heir \ otes.
One would assume that the cost of livinjr rises only
In election years. In other years the employees obviously
should spend their spare time reflectinjr on the government's previous largesse.
This theorem is not as facetious as it miglit appear.
O n « has only to hear or read the legislative rhetoric
when the State budget is up f o r consideration in an election year to note the timely recognition given to the employees' financial plight.
,
This double standard is a gross injustice to all employees of government.
W e ask the State Legisature and Governor A v e r e l l
Harriman's administration to give an honest look at salary conditions in the State, and a general salary adjustment in the light of real n e e d — n o t public relations.

Congressman Paul A. Fino ( R e publican, New Y o r k ) has again
introduced into the U. S. House of
Representatives his bill to lower
the retirement age for
Social
Security benefits to 60 for men
and 55 for women.
Congressman Fino, who is again
urging the liberalization of Social
Security system, said:
" I am happy to see that many
more of my colleagues in Congress
are in agreement with me on this
issue of humanizing our Social
Security law by lowering the retirement age.
" F o r the past four years, I have
introduced a bill to lower the retirement age for benefits only because I have been thoroughly
convinced that the facts of our
time and considerations of humanity call for a revision of the
now obsolete retirement age.
" I ha.ve always maintained that
by lowering the retirement age to

QUESTIONS FOR SCHECHTER
O N P R O M O T I O N C O U R T CASE
Editor, T h e Leader:
I n your news report, January 8

about
"examinationless
promotions," you mentioned that
Corporation Counsel Peter Campbell Brown and Personnel Director Joseph Schechter " a r e agreed
that the law is on their side" and
that Mr. Schechter "was formerly
counsel to the State Civil Service
Commission."
W h y were they so secretive
about this law being " o n their
side" when Mandle's ca.se was
argued before Justice Samuel M.
Gold?
Does Mr. Schechter dislike promotion examinations because he
never passed one?

W h a t Does 'Practicable' M e a n ?
T h e definition of practicable in
your editorial, issue of January
8, falls into the same error which
led to Justice Samuel M. Gold't
decision. T h e Court of Appeals,
in the case of People vs. L y m a n ,
157 N . Y . 368, affirming 30 App.
Div. 135, held: " T h e provision of
the Constitution is that the merit
and fitness of the applicant or
appointee shall be ascertained in
the manner stated so f a r as practicable, that is, in part at least,
if they can be even partially ascertained in that manner.
The
words 'so f a r as practicable' plainly relate to the degree or extent to
which the examination
should
control. T h e provision is not that
the examination shall be the basis
of determining merit and fitness
when or where, or in such cases
as it is practicable, but that in
all cases they are to be ascertained by an examination, only so
f a r as practicable. In other words,
it does not declare that the examination shall control in ascertaining merit and fitness in any or
all cases where it is practicable,
but that the qualifications of t h «
candidate shall be ascertained in
each case by an examination to
the extent and only so f a r as It
is practicable, -vn
consequently
.sufficient to Insure the selection
of proper and competent employees. T h e constitution plainly Implies that other methods and tests
are to be employed when necessary and calculated to fully ascertain the merit and fitness of
the applicant."
Quotes Constitution
Furthermore, Art. V—Sec. 6 of
the Constitution
provides that
"appointments
and
promotions
. . . shall be made according to
merit and fitness to be ascertained as f a r as practicable by e x amination." However, neither appointment nor promotion is involved in this reclassification, nor
is it a promotion in the guise of
a reclassification. T h e r e is nothing
unconstitutional in ascertaining
merit and fitness by actual on-thejob survey, and reclassifying the
incumbent's title to a more appropriate one. This power Is Inherent in every reclassification,
and is one of its principal objectives. Similar reclassification has
taken place on numerous occasions in the past and upheld by
the Courts.
I t has been charged that reclassification will cut down promotion opportunity for others. On
the contrary, such reclassification
will create more promotional opportunities for the rank and file.
It is obvious that as the persons
under consideration (mostly aged
50 to 65 years) retire, vacancies
will be created in the higher
titles which will be filled by appointment f r o m the younger e m ployees In such titles, or by promotion

from
the
lower titles as required, all in the
best Interest of civil service. A »

W e believe you and your family need a health insurance plan like
G H I ' i "Family Doctor Plan" that strengthens the relationship between you and your family doctor. Such a plan removes the financial barrier which makes you hesitate to get prompt treatment.
G H I is the oldest non-profit medical insurance plan in the N e w
York area.
All its experience was used in formulating the "Family
Doctor Plan" to meet your family's most frequent medical needs.

The Plan provides insurance for:
Unlimited number of Home and Office visits
Unlimited diagnostic X-Rays and Lab tests
Surgical operations in and out of the Hospital
Specialist Consultations in and out of the Hospital
Medical care in the Hospital

Extension
Death during liquidation of a n nual leave and its effect on retirement allowance has been ccunmented on in my letter on Social
Security in the January 15 Issue.
Extension of liquidation annual
leave time after January 1 would
constitute such payment for annual leave earnings which, with
other wages, could bring total
earnings in the year beginning
January 1 to a level which would
reduce possible Social Security
benefits for that year.

civic interest in police problem.^
( B ) to dramatize the traffic safety

32. " W h e n investigating a burgalry, a policeman should obtain
as complete descriptions as possible of articles of value which

This suggested procedure is ( A )
poor; what is valueless to one
person may be of great value to
another <B) good; it enables the
police to concentrate on recovering the most valuable articles
( C ) poor; articles of little value
frequently provide the only evidence connecting the suspect to
the crime ( D ) gopd; the listing of

County Salary Adjustment For 1957
Budgets for the new fiscal year are now In effect in the counties.
Here's a quick rundown of salary changes that were made with the
start of the new year.,
W e keep pretty close tabs on about 40 of the 60 odd counties in
the State for salaries, fringe beneflt.s, etc. Our information comes
f r o m a variety of sources with heavy rcliance especially at budget
time on the newspapers. T h e count for some of the counties is still
not in yet, but of those where we do have information the ratio is
5 to 1 for giving some kind of significant salary adjustment for 1957
f a r exceeds those not making adjustment
On the whole this seems to have been a year for raises in the
counties. T h e raises have been in various forms, as might be expected.
Such counties as Chemung reported at $200, Cortland at $230, Oswego
and Tompkins went for the '•across-the-board" arrangement, while
"spot raises" were given in such counties as Chenango. Oneida, Monroe and Erie. T h e significance of the spot ral.ses should not be sold
short because in a county like Monroe they were reported to have
appropriated over a million dollars for this purpose.
I n scanning our file we come away with the Idea that on the
v/hole county employees did a little better this year than last. I t
goes without saying that good organization, active CSEA chapters
with strong active leadership are the ones that make the greatest
gains on a year in year out basis.

The Commission, therefore, ordered that Mr. Alise either be
reinstated at Rockland State or
transferred to another hospital

accompanied by full back p a y —
less any amount earned during the
dismissal period—and full vacation credits.
