Arthur Miller, acting regional
commissioner of the General Services Administration, the construction a r m of the government,
told The Leader t h e purpose of
the structure is to rid the governm e n t of inadequate office q}ace.
" T h e building will face the federal and county court houses
which will be a n ideal location
for workers living throughout t h e
city." Miller said.
"Now t h a t f u n d s for the a i t t
and design of the building have
been approved by Congress," he
continued, " t h e General Services
Administi-ation will submit a budget for the actual construction.
Mr. Miller explained t h a t this
will take time and t h a t his agency
does not expect the building to be
in use for a t least four or Ave
years.
A modern air-conditioning plant
and sufficient office space will,
according to some observers, add

Federal Workers Take 6,000 ^on-Civil Service
Extra Training Courses Jobs Listed in US Book
Federal employees are taking
more and more training courses.
In addition to the thousands of
•mployees who received training
In their own agencies, it is reported that in the last few months
10,000 Federal employees took 240
training courses outside their
agencies.
The Civil Service Commission
has provided an explanation for
the need of all this extra training.
In addition to changes In occupations which must be kept up
with, as in medicine, the Commis•lon also points out that new
methods may sometimes change
the nature of work entirely as in
the changeover from manual to
•lectronic computations. Finally,
the Commission notes that the
•kills required in Federal jobs are
•uch that they cannot be learned
outside of Government itself.
A book named "United States
Government; Policy and Supporting Positions," put out by the
government for the use of the
Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee lists the more than
6.000 non-Civil Service jobs in the
government to which the new administration can make appointments.
There are a variety of Jobs
listed, running from Janitors to
U.S. attorneys. The salary range
for the jobs is equally wide.
Kennedy advisors do not expect
to fill all of these jobs. They hope
to fill only 500 to 600 of them with
the qualified people they want.
The Eisenhower administration
has had the same problem, hence
the large number of vacancies that

Improvements which took place

Some of the changes mentioned
fai the letter were an incentive
awards program, which saved the
Government over $500 million
dollars while paying the employees
hiore than $40 million dollars, life
and health insurance programs,
and an appointment system providing more job security for employees.
In conclusion, the Commission
stated that these innovations provided for more efficiency and

also shown "that the principles of
the merit system are entirely compatible with the most modern and

management and employee benefits."

LEADEK
The Goal for 1961:
A True Living Wage
Legislature this week, the formal push to improve the
livilihood of our public servants will get underway.
There will be a great deal of energy expanded to obtain
a judicious salary increase and this week he would like to
examine one of the labels that will be tagged on this particular item, the label being "living wage."
What is a living wage? What does it encompass? How is
It determined?
Actually, the term is most often used In a general sense
but we feel there is a definite scope that not only can define
the term but also give it application.
To us a living wage is one that:
1. Enables a worker to live on his income without the
necessity of outside employment to make life tolerable.
2. Is commensurate with the duties performed.
3. Takes into account that a modern standard of living
is justifiable, not a luxury, and provides for maintaining
t h a t standard.
4. Is on a par with similar work in private industry.
5. Recognizes that extra work should be compensated in
overtime payments of cash.
Minimum^ ISot Maximum
Goal
This is what the 87,000-member Civil Service Employees
Associationn wants for the State's workers, not as a maximum
goal but as a normal standard of employment.
There will be to other demands on the Legislature this
year—as there always are—but the tedious repetition of
enacting minimal pay structures
at the danger point.
Recruitment of qualified personnel is getting tougher every
year. Valuable personnel already in service are decamping
for more profitable employment.
We wish to remind the members of the Legislature that
It Is not the fault of the public workers that the cost of
government grows every year. It is the demands of taxpayers, who want more and better service as time goes on.
Failure to establish a "living wage" in these times is to
pass on the growing cost of the government to the civil
servant. There has been much talk from Governor Rockefeller on down about the unfairness of such practices. Now
t h a t the Legislature is in session the talk can end and some
action taken.

New York denies its employees
the right to strike for any reason.
The least the great sovereign State
might do—and should do—is to
see it t h a t the wages to its employees are always no less t h a n
the wages paid for similar work
done by employees in private busines.
I t is a n obvious injustice if
State employees have to ask for i
higher wages. The State h a s a responsibility to keep abreast of the
wages problem a n d to act as a
model employer. I n the peculiar
situation t h a t exists t h e State
should set the s t a n d a r d a n d not
be merely a belated follower of
private business.
Public employees will respect the
"no strike" idea if the employer
respects the privileged position
that public employees should enjoy because of the right to strike
which they have renounced.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.
E congratulate the City Personnel Director, Theodore
H. Lang and Mayor Wagner for their generous policy
on employee tardiness and absence from work the worst
days of the recent snowstorm, Dec. 12, 13 and 14. We agree
that no one can really be blamed for not showing up for Port
Authority
work at all, particularly on the first two of those three days.
The City's policy will, of course, forgive tardiness on Promotes 5, Adtts
those three days, and will forgive absence in nearly all cases. 24 in Police Force

b f HAROLD L. HERZSTEIN
Mr. Hcrzstein is a member of the New York bar
Collective Bargaining
THE WAGNER ADNINISTRATION in New York City, following
t h e example of the Rockefeller administration in Albany, has adopted
a plan popularly known as "penslons-for-increased-take-home-beneflte." The plan gives most members of the New York City Employees'
Retirement System additional take-home pay through the City'f
payment ol a n additional 21/2 points of those members' retirement
contributions. As a result, part of the pay of those members was
released for take-home pay.
AS I HAVE SAID " m o s t m e m b e r s " of the City's Retirement
System benefited by the plan—not all. I n applying the resolution,
t h e City authorities conferred its benefits on t h e civil service e m ployees who worked in the various agencies a n d departments of t h e
City.
EMPLOYEES OF THE independent Ti-ansit Authority of the City
are members of the New York City Employees' Retirement System.
The Authority makes the employer payments into the City Retirem e n t System for its own employees. It decided to give its employees
who corresponded to and in m a n y cases were regular civil service
employees t h e same 2V2 point "break" which t h e City gave its e m ployees. However, it refused to do t h a t for its hourly-rated employees.
THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY has 22.882 hourly-rated employees,
which is by fair its largest group. They are the men actually engagea ^^^
in the operation of the transit system. Some of t h e m reacted badly
to the exclusion f r o m the 2V2 point "break" a n d they brought a
lawsuit against the Mayor and other City officials, to compel t h e m
to include the hourly-rated employees in the plan.
What
They
Claimed
THE CLAIMS OF t h e hourly-rated men were basically: first,
they were civil service employees and members of the City's Retirem e n t System, just as were the employees who were benefiting by t h e
plan; and. secondly, denying them t h e benefits of the plan, in effect,
made them pay unequal shares into the retirement f u n d and deprived
them of addititonal take-home pay.
THE APPLICATION WAS HEARD by Judge Henry Epstein. At
the end of his opmion, he wrote: " . . . the application is without m e r i t
a n d is denied and t h e petition is dismissed." (Matter of Neil (Wagner), New York Law Journal, December 20, 1960). I n laymen's l a n guage, the transit woikers who brought the lawsuit were out of courts
JUDGE EPSTEIN'S OPINION is very interesting. I n his thinking
Judge Epstein started with a number of citations of cases of high
authority to the effect t h a t all discrimination is not prohibited by
law; a n d t h a t discrimination based upon a reasonable classification
is not unlawful. Of course, the word "discrimination" as used by t h e
Judge does not have the evil political connotation of recent years.
I n law, it means r a t h e r the act of distinguishing.
T H E JUDGE THEN RULED that it was reasonable to clai^sify
employees for wage a n d fringe benefits on the basis of those who
obtatincd their wages a n d fringes by collective bargaining, a n d those
who did not. I n fact, he made the collective bargaining men a new
classification. He did t h » t oil the ground t h a t they arrange for their
own rate of pay a n d their own fringe benefits, by contract, a n d they
are bound by contract. I n t h a t respect, the Judge emphasized t h a t
they were unlike t h e average run of public employee, whose wages
and fringes are fixed by government, alone.
THE HOURI Y-RATED MEN have a collective bargaining contract which extends to December 31. 1961. I t contains no provision
about a 2V9. points additional payment for t h e m into the retirement
fund. Judge Epstein noted t h a t the transit men "without question,
will have their opportunity to bargain for such fringe benefit (referring to the 21/2 points) when the present agreement comes up for
renewal." But, as stated, he gave t h e m no relief in court.
IT IS NOTEWORTHY t h a t in the case which I have just discussed. the Transport Workers Union, which represents nearly all
the transit men and which is the organization which does the collective bargaining for t h e m h a d nothing to do with the lawsuit.
One of their representatives told me t h a t the contract does not expire
until the end of next year, and t h a t when they make a contract,
they keep their word and do not look around for changes during
t h e term of the contract. I was glad to hear t h a t because the segm e n t of the civil service which I know realizes t h a t it cannot m a k e
progress without public confidence.
T h e word of the people I know is good, and they want t h e public
to know t h a t it is good. The type of lawsuit discussed above Is a
cheap grandstand play, and is bad for the vast majority of transit
employees a n d all other civil service employees.
THE JUDGE'S OPINION is solid, legally. I t Is also solid, morally.

ALBANY, J a n . 2 — The State Personnel Services Division of the
Btate Department of Civil Service h a s issued a handy guide to legal
holidays and religious holy days for 1961.
Distributed to state agencies, the calendar notes that New Year's
Day, J a n . 1, and Lincoln's Birthday, Feb. 12, both fall on Sundays,
b u t will be observed as holidays by state employees on the following
Mondays.
Veterans' Day. which falls on a Saturday, will not be included
a s a holiday for 1961. This is under Attendance Rule II, subdivision
1, which states t h a t a legal holiday which falls on a Saturday shall
n o t be observed as a holiday.
The division said, in a memorandum accompanying its calendar:
" I n f o r m a t i o n on religious observance days h a s been obtained
f r o m official religious sources and includes the observance days of
©nly the most populous religious faiths, and to our knowledge is
complete and accurate.
However, there is always the possibility t h a t special or local
" conditions will cause variations from "official" practice in a religious
f a i t h . Therefore, we want to emphasize t h a t the attached calendar
is intended only as a guide. Questions concerning observances of
religions not represented herein may be directed to this office."

New York City Housing Authority
Member I r a 8 . Robbins
recently in a n address a t t h e a n n u a l dinner of the M a n h a t t a n ville Community Centers. The
dinner was held in the Columbia
University Faculty Club.
"It's the beginning of the movem e n t by social agencies to get into
t h e guts of a community. This is
t h e f r o n t on which preliminary
skirmishes in the next battle for
decent living are now taking
place," he added.
I n the 92 completed developments of the New York City
Housing Authority, - with their
109,000 families and over 431,000
people, we have today 73 community centers, 92 centers for children of pre-school a n d school

My brother, who was born in
th« United States, works for a
foreign embassy in Washington,
D.C. Is he covered under the new
law?
Yes. United States citizens who
work within the United States for
forei8:n governments, their wholly
owned instrumentalities and international organization will be covered beginning: with 1960.
* • •
Who will report their employment for a foreign embassy?
These people will not be covcred
as employees, but as if they were
•elf-employed. This means t h a t
they will report their own eurnings
for social security and pay the
•ocial security self-employment
tax of \V-> per cent of their e a r n Inrs. The first report will be due
on or before April 15, 1961.
I understand t h a t now severely
disabled workers need not wait
until age 50 to become entitled to
disability Insurance benefits. W h a t
should a disabled worker under
age 50 do who has never applied
to have his social security record
frozen?
A disabled worker under age 50
who has never previously applied
for the disability freeze should find
out right away from his local
social security office if he is now
eligible for monthly benefits. If
he h a s worked under social security for at least five out of the
ten years just before he became
disabled he should apply for
benefits.
*
Law m a k e any changes in the
amount of work required in order
to be eligible for retirement
benefits?"
Yes it does. Under the new law,
most people can become insured
more quickly. Also, m a n y older
people who did not work for the
length of time required under the
old law will now be eligible for
payments.

a t age 62?
The new law requires a woman
of 60 to have 14 quarters of coverage. This is about 312 years of
work under social security. The
old law required over 5'2 years of
locial security coverage.
How old do you have to be to
get social security disability benefits?
There Is no longer any age requirement. Any worker who meets
the definition of disability in the
law can be paid disability benefits
if he has social security credit for
a t least five years of work out of
the ten years before hit disability
began.
