School Custodial Workers; Other Retirement Matters
Chicago Fire Tragedy Cited
In hopes of forestalling a recurrence of the recent school fire
In Chicago that claimed the lives
of more than 90 children a workshop on fire prevention in schools
is being sponsored by Nassau
County chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association.
Irving Flaumenbaum, chapter
president, announced that all custodial employees are invited to attend, Including those in parochial
schools. The invitation is statewide.
Mr. Flaumenbaum said, "We're
taking this on ourselves because
ours is the only organization to
which most of the schools' custodial staff members belong."
E. Lynch, fire marshall of the
Nassau County Fire Commission.
Assisting Mr. Lynch will be I n spectors Joseph Dunn and George
Van Schaick of the Commission.
All aspects of fire prevention
and fire control will be presented
by these qualified authorities and
a thorough question and answer
period will be followed. Appropriate demonstrations of fire prevention techniques also will be
given.
Mr. Lynch said he would emphasize the "good housekeeping"
methods that are effective in preventing fires. He will urge the
janitors to turn in fire alarms
immediately instead of attempting
to fight fires themselves. He will
also give a few hints on how to
confine fires once the alarm is
turned in and the children are
safe.
The workshop, which will be
held by the Non-Teaching Section of the chapter under the
chairmanship of Edward Perrott,

John F. Powers, President
Civil Service Employees Assn.
A L B A N Y , Dec. 22 — Retirement
and pension resolutions in the
1959 legislative program of the
Civil Service Employees Association were discussed at a meeting
between representatives of the Association and members of Comptrbller Arthur Levitt's staff.
Dominating
the
Association
presentation was the matter of
vested rights, John F. Powers,
CSEA president, reported.
Also figuring largely in the discussions was an increase in the
ordinary death benefit maximum
to two years, he said.
Mr. Levitt was represented by
Deputy Comptroller William M.
Girden; Isaac Hungerford, A d ministrative Director of the State
Retirement S y s t e m , and Max
Weinstein, chief actuary.
Accompanying Mr. Powers was
John J. Kelly, Jr., Association
counsel.
During the discussion Mr. G i r den announced that the Comptroller would seek a re-opening of
the 55-year retirement plan and
also a measure to support an increase in supplemental pensions.
Powers' Comment
In commenting on the meeting
Mr. Powers said:
" W e are very happy to announce that following our first
meeting on retirement legislation
with the Comptroller's office we

committments from Mr. Levitt.
effective on July 1, 1959 and would
provide for vesting of retirinjf
benefits Initially after 15 years of
service and attainment of age 50.
Over a 5-year period, eligibility
for vesting will decrease to 10
years of service and attainment of
age 40.
"The
Comptroller
will
also
sponsor introduction in the Legislature of a measure to increase
supplemental pensions to cushion
present pensioners against the
drastic inflation and increases in
the cost of living wiicih have taken place during the last 20 years.
W e were informed that this measure is the end result of two years
of study on this subject by the
staff of the Retirement System,"
Mr. Powers reported.
"Comptroller Levitt has prepared and will deliver a bill providing for vesting of retirement

Harriman Bids State Aides
Goodbye, Gives Praise
A L B A N Y , Dec. 22 — In a farewell statement to State employees
Gov. Averell Harriman expressed
deep appreciation for the fine
work performed by the public
worker during the past four years.
Mr. Harriman's statement said:
"As I prepare to leave the office
of Governor, I want to thank the
fine men and women who have
worked with me during the past
four years to make the State government more responsive to the
needs of tiie people and more
effective in meeting them.
" I have said on a number of occasions — and it has not been
challenged — that every department and agency of the State government is more efficiently administered to day and has a better program for the people it
serves than it did four years ago.
"This is due not only to the
new projirams that have been inaugurated, but in large measure to
the dedicated work of the men
and women who head the departments and the support given them
by the civil service employees who
form the backbone of state service. It is a record in which we can
all take pride.
Proud of Record
"It is a source of deep gratification to me that during my term
of office we have made significant
improvements in the status of
state employees. These Include
extension of the 40-hour week
throughout state service — reducing the work week for some 34,000
employees from 44 and 42 hours;
establishment of new grievance
procedures; the addition of Social
Security to state pensions; adoption of the best health insurance
plan in the country for public
employees, and in many other
ways.

The Governor continued saying that in all measures he was
proud of his staff, the career servants promoted under his administration and the body of public
workers in general.

Action
«
Mr. Powers stated further: " T h e
legislation proposed by the Comptroller in these areas is expected
to be available for release and
study in the very near future.
While actual study of the proposals is essential to unqualified endorsement, the Association is very
pleased that the Comptroller has
made these concrete proposals.
Each of the measures mentioned
above are part of the Association's legislative program in the
retirement field and are subjects
'on which definite resolutions were

past four years ,and in their specific accomplishments of which

An
Actual
H.I.P.
Case
History
From June 1957 to May 1958, J. B. and his family were plagued by
a series of illnesses which ranged from arthritis to ulcers. They required
treatment from their regular H.I.P. family doctor and from specialists
in internal medicine, surgery, urology and radiology. All these physicians—members of one of the thirty-two medical groups affiliated with
H.I.P.—worked together as a team.
Twenty-four services in all were given to this 48-year-old civil service
employee, his wife and son during this one-year period. This care was
theirs without any cost beyond the premium—and without red tape,
claim forms, receipted bills, delayed reimbursements or limited fee
schedules.
It's as simple as that
with a
FULLY AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER
J. B.'s case serves to demonstrate why H.I.P. members use their medical
groups so freely (75 per cent of H.I.P. enrollees see a doctor in a year
as compared with 57 per cent in the general city population). They
have the security of knowing they are "paid-up" private patients. They
have the constant assurance that comes from knowing they have comprehensive medical protection for the entire family. They know that
H.I.P. is standing by—no matter how serious or prolonged the illness.

in others a .substantial equivalent in training with some
minimum amount of experience then an absolute necessity,
is an alternative requirement.
In the Federal service entrance examination, the largest one the U.S. holds, and which is known colloquially as
"the big one," the accent is also on recent college graduates. Starting pay in a higher grade is to be offered soon,
with the obvious intention of attracting such candidates,
and appointing the cream of the crop. This action is taken
with a view to the future, since the appointees of today
will be the administrators and executives of tomorrow.
]\roreover, the U.S. is overhauling its promotion system,
which has never been a model, though serviceable; more
of the competitive element, it is hoped, will govern promotions. One day the whole Federal promotion system,
f o r the run of iobs, will be competitive.

status. The Lyons Residence Law
constantly blocks the recruitment
or retention of able City employees or forces department heads to
look the other way and ignore the
thousands of violations. The lack
of a real validation study of competitive examinations raises many
doubts as to the validity of all—
particularly the most popular—
examinations. The accrual system
of not filling needed positions, to
save money, is often a cruel and
false economy.
It is time the City gave municipal personnel administration the
attention
it properly
deserves.
While it is obvious that New Yorkers can be best served by resourceful .imaginative, competent, ethical,
economically-minded
and
public spirited civil servants, it is
equally obvious that these municipal employees must be given leadership that possesses basic municipal pride and some socio-political craftsmanship. New York
City is fortunate in having the
best talent in the world available
to its industries, commerce, education and arts, and unfortunate
in not being able to use more of
this native talent to serve in its
municipal agencies.
Federal officials are meeting in Washington, D.C., to
discuss improvement of college campus recruitment. The
College Federal Agency has been facing this problem f o r
years, with relatively good results, considering the limitations. Private industry, the chief contender, has infinite
degrees of freedom of operation in this field, as in others.
The Federal government can't very well give cocktail parties for groups of likely prospects, as industry does, nor
play host in a tour of the night spots, nor hold theatre
parties, nor o f f e r in any of the many other inducements in
which industry revels. Nor does the U.S. Civil Service

If the young employee decides
that his is to be a full and rewarding Government career, his
reth-ement income will be complete and adequate. This is the
second promise the Government
makes to its worker — that after
a full career he can retire in comfort and dignity at a standard of
living to compare favorably with
that he enjoyed as a Government
emnloyee.
For example, after he completes
27 years of service, his basic retirement annuity will be at leasj;
half of his annual pay, based on
the average of his high-five-year
average pay. After 35 years' service, his annuity will be at least 66
percent of his five-year average.
And should he continue to work
for 41 years and 11 months or
longer, his Government will pay
him 80 percent of his five-year
salary average.
service, the retirement system will
provide an income for his family.
The widow of an employee receives
50 percent of the annuity to
which her husband would hav«
been entitled, and this is paid
immediately upon his death, with
no age requirement to be met by
the widow. Upon retirement, an
employee may elect to provide an
annuity for his surviving spouse.
This will reduce his retirement
check slightly, but the potential
benefits to the survivor greatly
outweigh this very slight cost. A d ditional benefits are automatically provided by law for dependent children of deceased employees and retirees.
Although the above four promises are contained in present laws,
there is a fifth promise, an implied one, for over the years the

Social Security Questions
Trend
Totinrd
Quality
The whole trend in the Federal government is toward
hiring better qualified employees. That is no reflection on
the employees hired in the past or who will be hired in the
next days or weeks or in months, before the cream-ofihe-crop plan is in full operation. Actually, it is about to
go into operjition in weeks, when eligibles on the new
Federal service entrance examination list begin to be hired
at $4,980, in.stead of the$4,040 more prevalent previously.
The list is expected to be established next month.
The step the Federal government is taking may engender a train of resistance. Some present employees
might feel that the induction of an elite corps of beginners
may injure their own promotion opportunities. Also, the
Commission may be tempted to pay more regard to noncompetitive — not promotion — hiring methods in seeking to tap the "dean's list" as private industry does. Onthe-spot hiring, an insurmountable difficulty for the Federal government now because of the necessity of passing
an examination, and the unavoidable time gap between
interview and official eligibility, may turn out to be a Federal aim, too. Laws can be amended, whether they should
or should not be, while rules are easy to change.
The new .step is bold and challenging. It may be the

Psychiatrk Wins Again
state Farm Managers
Confer In Albany
A L B A N Y , Dec. 22 — Seventy
farm managers and head farmers
— the men who operate the farms
run by New York State at Its institutions — have held their a n nual conference here to discuss
the latest agricultural methods.
N«w York State Psychiatric Institute won its second "Accident Prevention Award" from the State Insurance Fund for
1957. It received a similar award in 1952, for the best safety
record among the institutional group in the Department of
Mental Hygiene. Biagio Romeo, left, institution safety supervisor, and Dr. Irville H. Mackinnon, assistant director of
the Institute are shown receiving the plaque.
The C S E A plan has operated
llnce 1936 and has grown steadily.
Any employee of the State of New
York and most political subdivi•lons, who become members of
CSEA, may apply for this Insurlin-e. Applications and explanatory literature can be secured
from any CSEA Chapter, from
TerBush and Powell, Inc., 148
Clinton Street, Schenectady, New
York, or from C S E A Headquarters at 8 Elk Street, Albany, New
York, or 61 Duane Street, New
York City.
The
Cash Indemnity Paid
CSEA Plan pays a
indemnity to insured members
who are disabled by accident or
sickness. The benefits of the plan
do not duplicate or interfere with
the benefits of the State Health
Insurance
Plan.
Hospitalization
and medical and surgical bills are
reimbursed or covere to the extent provided under the State
Health Plan. The C S E A AccidentHealth Plan pays a cash indemnity which the disabled member
can use as he sees fit.
The CSEA Plan was established
as a result of a good deal of hard
work on the part of C S E A officers
and Committees and the Insurance Agency, Ter Bush & Powell,
Inc. The plan succeeded and grew
as the result of vigilance on the
part of CSEA and its Agency and
the efforts of C S E A Chapter o f f i cers and Committees who donate
unselfishly of their efforts on b e cash half of CSEA members without
pay from CSEA.
11 Tax Dept.
Aides Promoted
A L B A N Y , Dec. 22 — Eleven

b y the State Tax Department, include five step-ups for clerks to
aenior clerk status in the State
Motor Vehicle Bureau.
The five senior clerk promotions were granted to Kathleen H.
Reiily, Albany;
Mildred
Clark,
West Albany; Irene Enright, Troy;
Doris Kevlin, Albany, and Mildred
E. Coleman, Tray.
Promoted
to principal
clerk
were Bernice K. LaRosa and Jo•ephine Wilson, both of Albany
and both Motor Vehicle employees.
Paul Treitler, Castleton, was
promoted to income tax examiner.
Victor Morelli, Albany, was n a m ed a senior tabulating machine
operator. Sandra J. V a n Olpen,
Watervliet, made senior stenographer.
Top promotion, among those

year.
N e w tax appointments went to:
James L. Collins, Greenfield C e n ter, as
administrative
trainee;
Richard D. Christie, Sllngerlands,

Cohoes, clerk; Clarence J. H a n rahan. Mechanicvllle, clerk: T h e odora J. Plockton, Scotia, key
puncli operator; Rose M . Domenloo, Delmar, key punch operator.
The C S E A Group Plan of A c cident-Health Insurance has been
steadily improved throughout the
years as it has expanded and
grown and enjoyed satisfactory
loss experience as a result. W i t h out additional cost to the members, the monthly
indemnities
were increased 15 percent, the
maximum accidental death and
dismemberment benefits were increased from $500 to $2500; the
maximum non-disabling accident
benefits were increased from a one
quarter month's indemnity to a
full month's Indemnity, and the
seven day waiting period for payment of benefits on sickness disability was set aside In those cases
during the period the insured
member was in a hospital.

do what he could to bring about corrections in any inequities that
presently exist in State service. " Y o u r request for pension loan Insurance at 100 percent of the loan and from the first day of the
