Hart, senior professor of forest botany, Syracuse College of Forestry, has won a State University Research Foundation grant-in-aid to study Parasitism of Eastern White Pine Bark. QUESTIONS on civil service and Social Security answered. Address Editor, The Leader, 97 Duane Street, New York 1, N. V. Employees Association tliroughout the state have been organizing campaigns to put across retroactivity in the political subdivisions. Choice of retroactivity is the first step towar'" realizing Social Security coverage for public employes in the state. The next step will be a referendum to determine which employees wish to take advantage of such coverage. Once the retroactivity clau.se is settled on, employees must «iake a choice. They will not be allowed to vote more than once on whether or not they wish to buy Social Security protection. The Van Lare-Wilson Social Security bill mandates that all public employees in the state be allowed to have Social Security coverage if they so want. The amount of retroactive coverage in political sub-divisions, however, was left to be determined by local governing bodies. State workers automatically will be awarded six quarters of coverage should they choose to purchase Social Security. Comptroller Levitt announced that It was the hope of the Administration to accomplish the choice referendum In September and to sign contracts with the Federal Social Security Agency by December 31. Galpin Speaks To TeacKer Group Henry F. G&ipln, Salary R e search Analyst of The Civil Service Employees Association, was one of the principal participants in the Annual District Superintendents' Conference for Teachers of the Second Supervisory District of Nassau County which met In North Bellmore, Long Island, on May 8. The group addressed by Mr. Gaipin comprised the school office personnel of the Supervisory District. Approximately 250 people attended, representing 17 separate school districts in Nassau County. Mr. Ga'pin spoke on the ^iroblems involved in the reclassiflcatlon of civil service titles, emphasizing the need and value of good job classification for the public service. "Good job classification" Mr. Galpin said, "is basic to a sound and effective compensation plan. It 1.^ axiomatic that without the one, you cannot have the other." Irving Flaumenbaum, President of the Nassau County Chapter ot The Civil Service Employees Association, also attended the meeting.

POWERS President Civil Service Employees Associalion . aaaggwamwiiMWirffMB^^ Hard Work Heeded on Retroactivity From all the reports we have been getting, the question of Social Becurlty coverage for the employees of political subdivisions Is exciting great Interest. I t was a principal subject of discussion at a recent meeting of county officials. News items are reporting meetings held in local areas. Some polling of employees has taken place, and In some areas the local legislative bodies have already voted upon the amount of retroactive coverage they will afford the civil servant in their community. The State Social Security Agency has requested these legislative bodies to report their decisions by May 31, 1957. This leaves little time for our county chapters to service the public employees In their jurisdiction. We know many of our chapters are working hard on this subject. Some however, may not have started. We urge these chapters to get their organization operating immediately. Social Security for the local employee presents a wonderful opportunity for the Civil Service Employees Association to demonstrate Its ability to help and represent the public employee. The Association has already done much on this subject. It has Information; the columns of The Leader have been full of data; our staff has spoken Rt many meetings and we have freely distributed bulletins and letters. Let us pitch in and help all public employees in the state to get the kind of Social Security coverage they want. Let us not lose this excellent chance to demonstrate the know-how of our organization to be of service to our fellow employees.

TEACHER T O STUDY COLLEGE Mrs. Marie Yegella, a teacher at Wassaic State School, won recognition for her pioneering work with severely retarded children recently when she received the Governor Charles E. Hughes Award In Public Administration. The award Is given annually by the American Society for Public Administration for significant achievements in public administration which have resulted in outstanding benefits or services to the public jurisdiction served and usually represent efforts "beyond the call of duty." In presenting the nominating petition for Mrs. Yegella, the Department of Mental Hygiene pointed out that Marie Yegella was one of the early pioneers in an area of teaching "as difficult and frustrating as that faced by Annie Sullivan when she undertook to teach the child, Helen K e l ler." When Mrs. Yegella began her first project with severely retarded children, there were no currlculm guldeposts and little or nothing in methodology texts on the problem. Working in the comparative Isolation of a state institution, she arrived" years ago at a point that others are Just beginning to reach. Techniques and goals similar to those she developed are now accepted and taught in all university courses dealing with the severely retarded. Self Help Goal The children in her class have been those that no one ever reached before by any formal type of program. Some have I.Q.'s as low as 15; others have serious physical disabilities as well as a severe mental defect. All are under 50 LQ. Her objective has always been self-help and social relationships. She has taught the children to respond to simple instructions, to dress and feed themselves, to communicate their needs and desires, to identify familiar objects, to enjoy the companionship of their fellows and function as indi.'i duals.

She thrills with them at the clickety-clack of the wheels of the nearby train on Its way to the far away city. She stands with them enjoying their awe at the sight of the dump truck in operation, the operator of said truck being her husband who was dragooned into bringing the truck to her classroom door ' so that the children might enjoy this experience. In her classroom one finds a large table with a variety of objects found in dally living and from this she teaches identification of such objects as well as concepts, as for example, a large shoe and a small shoe." The Governor Alfred E. Smith award for achievement in a staff position was made simultaneously to Dr. Robert F. Korns, assistant commissioner for program development of the Health Department.

T U E S D A Y , M A Y 21, 1957 Good Things Happen, ' O T all things that happen to public employees are to their detriment. Social Security is on the way f o r employees of the State and local governments, including N e w York City. State employees got a pay increase, doubling of the death benefit, and additional pension liberalization. More recently, actions taken or arrangements made by N e w York City spell progress f o r employees. Besides Social Security, which f o r the City employees unfoilunateJy will be without retroactive benefit unless the Board of Estimate changes its mind, there are in sight prevailing rates f o r laborers, requirements f o r the examinations f o r promotion to supervising clerk and supervising sten©gapher have been liberalized, upward reallocations go gteadily along under the appeals procedure, and reclaslation appeals likely will produce similar results. Public officials are giving more and more of an ear to employee groups, and recognizing that the best way to deal with the employees is through their organizations. It is too bad that so many N e w York City employees fight shy of joining an organiztaion, the clerk's particularly. In organization there is strength. The" one employee's voice is hardly audible. Outstanding examples of organizational strength, measured in terms of almost saturating the possibilities, are the Civil Service Employees Association, with its imposing number of State employee members, and the unifoi-med forces, such as the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the Uniformed Firemen's Assocation, and the Fire Officers Union, in N e w York City. The checkoff has given strong imptus to State and N e w York City employees. It permits an organization to devote its time almost exclusively to gaining objectives for Its members, instead of spending time collecting dues. The checkoff is beneficial to the employees also because it prompts employees to join their fellow-workers in the •trivings f o r most bcneficial common objectives. It developes a sort of bandwagon psychology. This history of checkoff is that increased membership results. The lone wolves should reform, because the future In an organized world depends f o r its success on organized effort. The good things that come employees' way are not only won largely through the efforts of their organizations, but the very ideas often originate with those groups. Better pay, better hours, better working conditions, and better fringe benefits are never won by the f e l l o w stands on the sidelines and merely watches the parade go by. N Better Labor Relations H E executive issued by Mayor Robert II. W a g n e r regarding released time f o r New York City employees engaged in union activities caries out almost entirely the proposals of a committee headed by City Adminietrator Charles F. Preusse. Some technical amendments to the original proposals,resulted in improvements. For instance, a City employee will be allowed to speak f o r employees of other departments than his own, a long-standing concession that the original proposal sought to repeal. The limitations on employee activity on City-paid tim« are sound, and consistent with general practice in private industry. The Mayor's plan has received a good press, to which H la well entitled. Better labor relations, on a standard basis, with precautions against the abuse of a privilege, should result. T BETTER DEAL EXPECTED FOR CITY'S LABORERS Editor, T h e Leader: Piogre.ss being made toward putting New Y o r k City laborers in the competitive class—they are now In the labor class-^and in having their pay set according to the rates prevailing In local private Industry is most encouraging. T h e State Constitution provides that all positions should be in the competitive class, if practicable. Certainly it is practicable to put the unskilled laborer in the competitive class. W h o ever said o t h erwise? Have not the skilled laborers been in the competitive class for years? Promotion Opportunities LOOKING INSIDE By H. J. BERNARD Executive Editor rr':.'} An Astonishing Attitude on Social Security I T ' S A P I T Y that New Y o r k City has done nothing, and shows no sign of doing anything, to provide retroactive Social Security for its employees soon to be covered under the Federal Old Age and Survivors Insurance Plan. T h e State has provided six quarters of retroactive coverage, which would permit payment of the tax for the period f r o m April 1, 1956 to January 1, 1958, the expected e f f e c t i v e date of the plan to supplement most public retirement systems with Social Security. T h e City has the choice of providing six quarters, four quarters, or no quarters of retroactive coverage. Since It has selected the zero basis, unless it should reverse itself, it will deprive many employees and dependents of cherished benefits. I t is hard to imagine that the City officials fully realize to what extent they may be depriving older City employees of benefits they or their survivors will sorely need and well deserve. Once in the competitive class, laborers could enjoy promotion opportunities, now lacking, and also standard fringe benefits. W h a t fringe benefits they receive now are non-standard. Uniformity What Older Employees Stand to Lose is required. T h e r e is no reason Let's see just how bad the situation for the older City employees, why the maxinmm fringe beneespecally those near .the 65 minimum retirement age for men, 62 for fits should not apply. women. T h e required number of quarters f o r one to be fully inT h e r e are two considerations: sured is the same in either instance for receipt of primary benefit.s. one, reclassification, the other the For survivorship and death benefits a lesser degree of coverage pay policy. is required. Since laborers are mentioned Naturally, what an employee near Social Security retirement age by title In the Labor Law as bewants is the opportunity to retire as soon as possible with the c o m ing entitled to prevailing rates. bined benefits. A man who is 65 on January next would require only End as they formerly did receive two more quarters of covered employment, to be able to retire on the these rates from the City, there maximum primary Social Security pension of $108.50 a month, $1,300 is no reason why tliey should not a year, assuming his salary averaged $4,200 a year ago or more. I f the enjoy this benefit now. T h e only average pay was less, the pension would be proportionately less. safeguard necessary is that unT h e six quarters thus are three-quarters of the total number ions .should protect their laborer members to the utmost, and not required, a h f t of such importance and magnitude that one would consent to any stipulated rate Imagine that noUiing short of sheer Indifference could persuade City that is far below prevailing rates. officials to deny maximum retroactive coverage. W i t h no retroactive coverage, the full eight quarters would have Something else that prevailing to be worked, or two years, compared to half a year if there were six rates might be offered by the City, retroactive quarters. A theory of pension system is to help provide and accepted by the laborers in exchange for full fringe benefits. opportunities for the succeeding generation.

CHARLES OTWALSE PROTESTS PROVISIONALS IN HOUSING A U T H O R I T Y Editor, T h e Leader: I worked at a project and have seen first-hand disregard of the Merit System in the hiring of New Y o r k City Housing Authority employees right o f t the streets. Most of the typists came in as provisionals. T h e bookkeepers, now called account clerks, though actually cashiers, are provisionals, as are the junior accountants. Many typists are such in name only. One woman "typsist" operates a switchboard. Cashiers are called account clerks to put them in a lower bracket. This n'oiild Serve Them Right If the City officials who now refuse to grant retroactive coverage will have to endure the wails of penniless widows and orphans tliat would be only retributive justice.

T!he City government has been something less than Informative about Its plans and purposes. I t has failed to give any public assurance that it is acting with all the promptness that the situation seriously commands. Mayor Robert F. W a g n e r has long been known as an advocate of Social Security coverage for City employees on the basis of their public jobs, if they do not now have such coverage f o r other reasons. He has extolled the value of the,Federal plan. Now when time comes to implement the City's participation In that plan to the fullest, it is disappointing to find him reluctant, unwilling or silent, when all Male clerks seem to have no along he gave employees reason to expect that he would do the right value to the Authority and are thing. made into file boys, messengers But it is not too late.

As I am a single woman, would I be eligble to collect Social Security benefits at age 62? I. A. W .

They pay signflcantly lower wage for Laborers, in general, and in only four bounties does their flat hourly rate set by county exceed the Thruway's starting rate. When this is coupled with the specific exclusion 0f the State hourly and per diem employees from the advantages Of the new Attendance Rules it is easy to understand the Civil Service Bmployees well founded position that regular State employees In this situation deserve more attention to their problems. Department of Public Works laborers are paid from $1.43 to $1.72 depending on the County. In 39 of the 58 counties the lowest rate is paid and the highest is four. Converted to an hourly basis (2000 hours per yean the Thruway Salary plan pays from $1.65 to $1.81 depending on years of satisfactory sei-vlce. Nassau Employees Await Reclassification Results (Continued from Page 1) worst in the state" because of the large number of appointees in lobs The Kaplan report recommendid permanent status to avoid pos•ibla political pressure being placed on temporary aides. Workers hired after January 1, I B i i , are recommended to take teats to achieve permanent status. Personnel Director Recommended T o prevent a recurrance of the high temporary employee situation, It was recommended that the county take the lead in giving •Kaminations. One county official, however, voiced doubt that the flounty would undertake the task. Wcstchester Seeks Retroactiyity On Social Security Under the report's recommendations, a personnel director would take responsibility for day to day operations of the staff and tlie three-man civil service commission would be limited to policy making and hearing appeals from rulings made by the personnel director. Mr. Kaplan said the present set up was not geared to handle Nassau County's large staff. In allotlng the pay scales, the Increases would be accomplished by dividing county workers into 30 classes instead of the present 50. Each classification would have a different- salary level. Top salary in each grade would be reached in five years Instead of the present eight and an extra pay boost would be added for 10 years of service. Employee reaction to this proposed program will not be known until a breakdown of the salary At a special meeting, the West- proposals is reavealed. chester County Civil Service Employees Association unanimously adopted a resolution to request ^he County Board of Supervisors to pass the necessary resolutions to provide retroactive covkraga under the recent Social Security Legislation approved by the State of New York for eligible o f ficers and employees of the County, offective June 16, 1956. A copy Of the Association's resolutions has been forwarded to County Executive Hopkins.

C O C C A R O Mind and Matter Many great physicians and psychiatrists have expounded the theory that in studying the individual one cannot separate the functioning of the mind and the body. In a mental hospital most of us become concerned very deeply and primarily with the mental aspect of the patient's condition. Just as we are concerned with this phase of the patient's problems there is a small group of mental hygiene workers who are mainly concerned with the body, muscle coordination and motive power. Our Physiotherapists These people, physiotherapists, conduct a very specialized and highly technical muscle-reeducation program for both the acute and chronic patients in our hospitals. Electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, and habit training are some of the tools used in this field. Physiotherapy work is a difficult Job at Its best. The therapist must take flaccid, degenerated, and atrophied muscles of the human body and through therapy rebuild these tissues to strong, live functioning parts of the body again. This highly techni"Unusually Fine Y e a r " cal work becomes even more difficult when working with either " I t has been an unusually fine acute or chronic mental patients.

Training and Experience Needed Among the guests were Robert T o become a good physiotherapist one must obtain education and Soper, CSEA second vice president, training under certified, registered therapists. T o become a physical and Mrs. Soper, and Charles therapist or a senior physical therapist in our department one must Lamb, CSEA fifth vice president. have a license ,or state certification, to practice physiotherapy In Mr. Lamb has been promoted the State of New York. The compensation for our physical therapists is low as compared to sergeant, it was announced, and has been transferred to Auburn to physiotherapists in many of our private hospitals. The Salary for our seniors, therapists and aides falls below that of the Federal Prison. Mr. Lamb spoke on the efforts government standards, with the range of difference being between of the Association during the past $300 and $1200. It is difficult for our department and state to atyear and. while he thanked the tract trained and experienced workers in this Important field. Many Association for its accomplish- of these trained people working with us are seriously considering ments, reminded the delegates leaving our institutions for better paying positions elsewhere. It takes that much work remained to be many years of experience and training before one becomes capable of administering a safe and sound therapy program. To rephrase an old done for the public employee. adage, "Let's not close the barn doors after the horses are gone." Employees First " W e are all proud of the reputation the Association has built up," Mr. Lamb said, "but this reputation must not be allowed to exceed the idea that the employee come first above persons or parties." Mr. Soper also spoke. He said that Social Security had been made possible becau.se of the employees voicing their desire for it so strongly. "When you let the officers of your Association know in a loud voice what you" want to have accomplished it gives these officers a position of strength to work from," Mr. Soper said. Also present as guests were Paul Kyer, editor of The Leader, and Thomas D. Mann, newlyappointed city editor.
