CSEAs Strong Protest
Brings 'Paid Paydays
LBANY, April 12—An extraordinarily vigorous protest on the part of the Civil Service Employees
Assn. against any "payless" paydays for State workers
brought results last week when a special committee
A
organized by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller devised a formula to
get State institution employees their net wages.
Essentially, the employees' checks were turned into notes
for interest-free loans which were honored by commercial
banks throughout the State. If a budget is still not passed this
week, the remainder of State employees will be paid by the
same method.
CSEA representatives, headed by their president, Joseph
F. Feily, turned out in force in the Assembly chambers on
April 2 to demand that the State pass a budget and get
employees their pay. The Employees Association was the only
employee organization to show up at the session, a hearing on
the budget, to speak out for State workers.
Execution of the plan to pay workers took around the
clock effoi-ts of the stafiEs of several State departments, mainly
those of Budget and Comptroller Arthur Levitt. The Department of Audit
Control had to feed the formula for payment
Into its computor. The Audit & Control computor would not
handle the whole thing, however, and two computors from the
Division of Employment were needed to finish the task on
time. When the "checlcs" were finished, both Levitt's signature
and that of Tax Commissioner Joseph Murphy had to be
affixed, after which State troopers picked them up and distributed them around the State.
Said Felly later: "We are still demanding that a budget
be passed and this kind of emergency be stopped."

Major CSEA Bills Move
Out From Legislafive
Commiffees For Action
(Special To The Leader)
ALBANY, April 12—Hope grew on Capitol Hill here last week t h a t some major loopholes in working conditions affecting State and" political subdivision employees would be
plugged up through a series of bills sponsored by the Civil Service Employees Assn. t h a t
have been released by Legislature committees.
One of the most important of
these measures is a bill that would
require political subdivisions to
establish definite salary schedules
with increments for all employees.
Tliis has been a major goal of the
Employees Association for years
and a top-priority piece of legislation desired by local employees.
It's passage by the Legislature
would, the CSEA feels, bring most
political subdivisions into line with
modern and competitive personnel
practices.
A long-standing injustice suffered by Barge Canal employees
would be corrected by a bill that
would place these aides on a 40houi- work week. (Most State em-

The removal of thousands of
State workers from Attendance
Rule authority to receive overtime
compensation would be rescinded
under a measure that calls for all
employees e x c e p t department
heads and then- immediate assistants to be eligible for overtime
credits.
A major complaint of State
workers—the losing of increment
level upon reallocation—would be
removed under legislation that
calls for an employee who is
reallocated to be placed in the
same increment level in the new
position that he held in the old
position.
Other bills out of committee
would provide:
• Absolute protection of salary
and position of employees whose
jobs
are
adversely
affected
through no fault of their own.
• Protection to workers in political subdivisions whose jobs are
abolished by automation.
• Absolute salary protection for
employees of political subdivisions
whose titles are reallocated downward.
• Survivor benefit protection

told the Commission that "beyond
that level, (principal), promotions
would depend upon favor from
University officials, and this proposal certainly constitutes
a
wholesale raid on the merit system."
Feily pointed out that the proposal would create a situation
within the University "which does
not exist at pi"esent in other
State agencies and which the
Commission has refused to approve in the past."
He said the Employees Association had studied carefully material submitted by the University in support of its proposal
and "we feel that other agencies
. . . recruit top-flight professionals in their particular fields
and do not find it necessary to
abort the merit system for the
convenience of these professionals." This was in reference to a
point by the University that in
order to attract the most qualified administrative and teaching
personnel from throughout the
country they, the University officials, must allow them free

Two major speakers have
been listed for the April 25-26

the Civil Service Employees Assn.
At dinner on the evening of
April 25, delegates to the workshop will hear addresses by Alton

the State Division of the Budget,
and First Deputy Comptroller Alfred W. Haight.
Concluding the two-day program will be a dinner at which

the Labor and Industries Committee.
Rossetti said he would be assisted at the hearing by Senator
Pi'ank G. Glinski, chairman of
the Senate Labor and Industries
Committee: Senator Edward J.
Lentol, chaii-man of the Senate
Civil Service Committee and Assemblyman Thomas L. LaFauci,
chairman of the Assembly Civil
Service Committee.
Five Key Questions
Rossetti posed five key questions he said should be considered at the hearing. They are:
1. "Can the right to strike, or
the threat to strike, be granted
to government employees and
should the present prohibition
against strikes in the public service be maintained in the public interest?
2. "In lieu of this loss of a right
that is given to all other workers, which serves as a powerful
force in labor-industry bargaining,
what kind of substitute guarantees should be granted to public
employees?
3. "How can their grievance be
fairly and freely heard and adjudicated, to assure them that
they will not be voiceless and
powerless in their efforts to improve conditions of their employment?
and the authority of officials and
other governmental representatives
to bargain, arbitrate and mediate
in such manners?
5. "How can there be written
into law penalties that are right
and proper against violators of
the provisions of such law, without forgetting that same statutes
must be merciful at the same time
that they are forcr/al, and that
recriminations and inquisitions
are not in keeping with the true
spirit of amicable employer-employee relations?"

Lindsay would be a cinch, the polls
say. On an Integrity and "cleanup the city" issue a D.A. Hogan or
a Prank O'Connor could win. And
on the same issue some think that
men with the image of Federal
Judge Thomas Murphy, a former
New York City Police Commissioner, a Morgenthau or former
Independent New York City Police
Commissioner Prank Adams would
come through. And among ethnic
groups, Fi-anklin Roosevelt, Jr.
looms strong. And Wagner knows
about these polls and has taken
his own.
One would think any or all
these men would shake the Mayor's complascency; but—so far—
none of them have declared themaelves

their
friends don't think they will.
Wagner's strongest support lie.s
with Negroes and Puerto Ricans,
but last week his position was
ahaken by CORE'S militant statement against him and his policies.
And this is a very vocal group.
It has been said of Bob Wagner
that he has nine lives; now it is
being said that he has at least
10 political lives.

He's one of the most unusual
politiciant in America — and yet
even the most unuaual politicians
suffer their big defeat (which
can be their last).
Congressman Ryan would like
to run for Mayor but he doesn't
as yet have sufficient financial
support—if he can get It at all;
and nobody, with the possible exception of some of Wagnei-'s
"happy" friends take I.D. Robblns
candidacy seriously.
How long will Wagner's luck
hold out?
High-Cost Victory?
For instance, did Mayor Robert
P. Wagner's victory over his fellow Democrats in the struggle for
control of the State Legislature
cost him more than he figured on
while the battle was in process?
The talk among many top Democrats right now is that it did.
While there is little doubt that
Wagner intended right along to
run for re-election as Mayor of
New York again this year, thase
close to him know that he has
long wished to move into the national political scene, either as a
United States Senator or as a
Vice Presidential candidate. But
the road to that kind of ambition
requires not only firm party control at home but party-wide backing and enthusiasm — and the
1966 gubernatorial office.
The deep split in Democratic
party factions that went even
deeper after the Albany wars l-s
hardly conducive to gathering unified party support for any candidate, Wagner a« well as anyone
else, who wants to take on Rockefeller or Javlts or Lindsay for the
gubernatorial or Senate
posts
next year. And a man who can't
operate successfully with

whole team In his own State is
hardly candidate material for the

front pages once the State budget

Acrimony
among
some of the State's senators and
assemblymen has passed beyond
factional quarrels and has entered
a personal, bitter stage.
Yet, strangely enough, the man
who could do most to re-unify the
party, and In so doing help It end
this session of the Legislature
with a presentable public record
for the November elections, seems
utterly disinclined at this time to
make any conciliatory moves in
that direction whatsoever. We are
speaking, of course, of Wagner.
His customary technique of waiting things out may be the weapon
he feeLs is best now. But there is
no evidence that it is producing
any results. On the contrary, the
division between the major party
factions seems to get wider every
week.
Olive Branch Ignored
Another oddity of the current
situation is that some of the people who lost most in the Albany
battle are the mast willing to concede even further gains to the
Mayor in order to achieve party
unity. One of these is William McKeon, Democratic State Committee chairman who.se activities in
this area we reported on here extensively last week. Others have
offered the olive branch as well.

Crime and Public Relations
THE UNITED STATES is facing a public relations crisis
generated by the mounting tide of crime across the country.
A MAJOR PORTION of the blame must be borne by the
various publics, but more particularly by the judiciary. The
attitudes of the publics and of
the criminal court judges are
giving the United States the
blackest of Images throughout the
world. At the same time, these
attitudes are helping make the
United States a crime jungle.
SINCE ATTITUDES—how they
evolve and how they are changed
—are an integral part of the
public relations process, this column feels duty-bound to examine this life-and-death problem

stimulated and encouraged an
ovei-whelmlng emphasis on individual rights at the expense of
the public welfare.
In addition, there is a strong
tendency to excuse a criminal for
his crimes if he comes from a disadvantaged
background.
("Society is to blame", Is the favorite
excuse.)
WELL. AT THIS stage of the
crime wave—175,000 aggravated
assaults, 113,000 robberies. 19,000
rapes in the U.S. last year—all
victim publics are so disadvantaged that it Is high time to
feel sorry for them, rather than
the perpetrators of crime.
WE BELIEVE the
tortuou*
thinking among the judiciary has
reached the point of outright
asininity. A recent
dissenting
opinion in the N.Y. State Court
of Appeals said police had no
right to search the briefcase of %
prisoner because the briefcase wa»
on the prisoner's lap as he sat In
a police car between two detectives. Even though a fully loaded gun was found in the briefcase,
the court insisted the search wa»
not incidental tq the prisoner'*
arrest.
IN CHICAGO, a judge ruled
that two policemen facing a man
wielding a broken bottle used e x cessive force when they drew
their guns. The judge said nothing about the excesive force used
by the prisoner, whose broken
bottle sent one of the policemen
to the hospital for 23 days with
27 stitches in his face.
THE ABSURDITY of the situation is pointed up in Washington, D.C. where sits the U.S. S u preme Court, which started it all
with its liberalization of criminal
suspects' rights The Court's own
women employees are being provided with police escorts when
they leave the Court after dark—
to protect them from assault by
criminals who have been turned
loose to prey on society by the
Court's own decisions.
UNTIL SUCH TIME as Congress and the state legislatures
restore some balance between individual and public rights, we had
better use the public relations
technique of mobilizing the overwhelming force of public opinion
to tell this to the judiciary:
THE RIGHT OF a citiztn not
to be murdered, assaulted, robbed,
or raped far outweighs the desire
of predatory animals not to be
punished for their crimes.

CSEA Atfacks Proposals
For State U, Personnel
WE STRONGLY URGE all State employee members of
the Retirement System who now are enrolled in the age 60year plan to immediately file applications with the Departm e n t of Audit and Control, joining the age 55-year plan.
The election of the age 55-year plan not only produces the
higher rate of contributions from the State as employer
but also improves the rate of contribution retroactively, for
every year of members' service. Such election would, in most
cases, substantially improve the benefits which a member
would receive upon retirement.
PUTTING IT ANOTHER way, every member of the age
60-year plan who fail t-o file for the age 55-year plan is
throwing money away every day t h a t he fails to make such
a n application.
IN ADDITION, Comptroller Levitt has made available a t
all State agency personnel offices application forms for entrance into the age 55-year plan.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT point under the new plan Is
t h a t any member may elect to raise the non-conrtibutory
features of the bill, as with the previous five and eight percentage point plans, by filing a waiver form with the Retirem e n t System. All members who have previously filed waivers
and have continued to contribute to the System, must reflle such waivers under the new law.

In addition, Feily said, "We believe that people who have the
interest and ability to promote on

and we resent the University proposal, or proposals from other
agencies, which imply the contrary."
The CSEA president said it is
the responsibility of the Commission " to convince the State University that they should not have
any greater number of stenographic and secretarial positions outside the competitive class than is
approved for other State agencies,
and to arrange with the State
University, recruitment programs
which would assure that wellqualified personnel are furnished

Wholly-Paid Pension
And Higher Allowances
ALBANY, April 12—As the result of negotiations between the Civil Service Employees Assn. and the State Thruway Authority, significant gains have been made for
Thruway aides in the areas of increased allowances and new retirement proposals, The
Leader learned last week.
The Authority notified the
Bmployees Association that it
had:
1. Approved an increase in the
overtime meal allowance unit for
field employees from $1.50 to $2.
The Board's resolution also provided that the meal unit allowance rate schedule for all employees be in accordance with the
schedule set forth in Appendix E
of the Statement of Employee Relations Policy except that the
number of hours required to be
worked to earn a meal unit on a
normal or scheduled day off be
tlie same as the number of hours
required to be worked on a normal work day (eight hours for
field employees, seven and onehalf hours for office employees).
2. Approved annual allowances
of $40 an $20 for employees in
the titles or motor equipment repairman and maintenance man
(mechanic), respectively, to reimburse them for personallyowned tools they are requii-ed to
furnish and which are lost, broken, or worn out on the job. The
specifications
for
these
two
classes of positions are being revised to require a larger tool complement, Including wrenches up
Page Thre«
to VA inches, than is required in
the present specifications. Most of
our present employees In these
titles are now providing the tools
listed in the new complement.
3. Affirmed the Authority's intent to provide all Authority employees with a non-contributory
retirement plan, the same as that
being provided to State employees
in legislation approved by the
Governor on April 1.
Detailed instructions or procedures to Implement these resolutions will be Issued to employees
for their guidance and information.
Commission's Responsibility
He said:
Our confidence in your Commission would be very seriously
affected should this proposal of
the State University be approved
by you. We do not believe that
there is any situation in the
State University units so different
from that which exists in other
State agencies that would require
approval of the State University
proposal. Approval of this proposal by your Commission would
be a serious blow to the merit
system and would establish a precedent to invite additional similar
proposals from the State University covering other merit system jobs, and would likewise invite similar proposals from other
State Agencies.
Approval of the proposal would
be an admission, we believe, by
your Commission, that your Department cannot through the competitive merit system pi-ovide well
qualified secretarial and stenographic positions to adequately
serve the higher officials of the
University.
We urge your disapproval of the
State University proposal to the
extent we have indicated in this
letter. Should you decide to approve the State Universtiy proposal, we woul^ like advice before
you take final action as we would
give serious consideration to appealing directly to Governor
Rockefeller on the matter, as the
proposal is of serious concern to
all our members thix)Ughout the
State.

On Barge
Canal Appeals
ALBANY, April 12 — A reallocation appeal for t h r e e
titles in t h e barge canal series
of the Department of Publio
Works will be the subject of a
hearing conducted this week in
Albany.
The hearing has been called by
the Civil Service Commission to
hear arguments on the reallocation requests which are being
sought by the Civil Service Employees Assn. on behalf of ita
members employed on the Bargei
Canal.
Job Titles
The job titles and requests are?
canal structure operator, grade
7 to grade 9; chief lock operator,
grade 11 to grade 13; canal electrical supervisor, grade 13 ta
grade 15.
CSEA brought the upgrading
requests to the Civil Service Commission eai'ly this year after they
were denied by J. Earl Kelly,
Director of the Civil Service Department's Division of Classification and Compensation.
Reversal Sought
In its appeal, CSEA urges the
commission to reverse the determination made by the Division of
Classification and Compensation
and approve the upwai'd reallocations. The Employees Assn.
claims that there is "adequate

AST WEEK the New York City Civil Service Commission
held a hearing on a proposal that would re'duce from
50 percent to 15 percent the value given to seniority and
work performance ratings on civil service promotion examinations.
No explanation was given why this reduction had been
proposed or why the Commission seemed to be giving it
serious consideration. As could be expected, the objections
that rose up from the ranks of the employees who stand to
be aflected by the proposed ruling were loud and reflected
considerable anxiety.
The commission, by not explaining its course of action,
should expect nothing less from workers who have so much
to lose.
To an employee who has spent a good part of his adult
years working in and for an organization which, for its very
size, can only rely largely on file cabinet evaluation of an
employee's worth, the length of time spent with the organization in loyal service is of prime importance. When the boss

and gratillcation depends on that paper may view its character with disdain but he cherishes it's worth. Others who
may not recognize this worth, as they do not recognize the
employee in the hall, seem to find it easy to feel only disdain.
The seniority system is a staple of organization in civil
service. When it is drastically altered those responsible
should, even in their own interests, have very good reasons.
If the system is undermined capriciously, as part of an experiment in management the results could be disasterous to
an organization whose strength depends on its employees'
faith in the underlying goodwill of it's impersonal employ.
Editor, The Leader:
I am very pleased to see that
a': long last stenographers are
voicing their opinions and protests,
via your column, regarding grade,
salary, etc. My protests -to my
CSEA representative along these
same lines have been many.
There is only one grade difference between a clerk (or typist)
and a stenographer .This hardly
seems fair inasmuch as practically
anybody can be trained within a
matter of a few days to handle
general clerical duties. That this
Is a fact is proven by the number of temporary clerks on State
payrolls, some who have never
even take the civil service examination for this title; many of
them have never even completed
high school. A typist or a steno
cannot be trained properly in her
chosen line of work in so short a
time; there is a certain amount
of skill Involved in these positions,
and, naturally, more skill and
training is needed to become an
efficient steno than a typist. As
well as being able to take dictation and transcribe from her notes,
the steno must have a good command of the English language
since the quality of the office may
be reflected in her work.
An explanation of purpose and value on this resolution
should be forthcoming—at once!
Peculiar Logic
' T ^ HE Hauppauge Board of Education has come up with
some peculiar logic recently to justify not only its
neglect but also its downgrading of non-teaching employees
In that school district.
On the grounds that employees can earn more money by
taking more exams for promotion, the Board has approved a
resolutior which would cut the increments these employees
receive from nine to eight.
The real thought behind this proposal, of course, is
merely to save money at these employees' expense and force
t>iem to scramble among themselves for the extremely few
promotions that would become available—if ever.
It is bad enough that the Hauppauge Board of Education
has denied these employees gains such as reduced retirement contributions and some kind of Job security in the
form of tenure: gains that employees in neighboring school
districts do enjoy. To becloud their futures with insincere
double talk about increased promotion opportunities that are
nothing less than an eventual out In salaiy is unworthy of
responsible board members.
The Board of Education should immediately restore the
ninth increment these employees are entitled to and start
looking for ways to return these workers to 20th century
working conditions, not economic serfdom.
-
utilization of oral interview tests.
WHILE ABUSE of the oral test in private employment
is minimized by the private employer's self interest in obtaining the best qualified personnel, government employment
may be more susceptible to the subjective elements of the
human equation. These elements destroy the competitive
nature of the examination in that the examinations of all
the candidates can not be held simultaneously, the examiners
are not the same at each test, the same examiners at different times may react differently, and an examiner may unconsciously respond unfairly to an examinee's personality.
All of these factors contributed to State Supreme Court Jus*
tice Beckinella's decision of March 15, 1965 in the Nelson
V. Board of Examiners case which was initially considered
in last week's column.
THE ORAL interview tests in the Nelson case, an Article
78 proceeding for review of an examination for licensure as
elementary school principal, involved 238 candidates. They
were interviewed individually on different days by different
panels of interviewers. Justice Beckinella cited Bucalo v,
Kaplan, a Third Department decision in favor of State Unemployment Insurance Claims Examiners, for the proposition
that objective standards or guide lines must be followed in
giving oral qualifying tests. Whatever guide lines were given
the examiners in the Nelson case were oral and no record ol
them was kept. Hence, the Board of Examiners was unable
to prove that it employed objective standards which are
capable of review by other examiners.
THE ABSENCE of any written record of the standards
employed by the examiners handicapped the petitioners in
meeting the burden of proof that the standards were subjective. They had to rely on the testimony of examination
assistants whose testimony, however unconsciously, may
have been colored by personal interest in sustaining their
judgment. Typically, one of the examiners testified in r e sponse
to the Court's effort to elicit whether objective gradCites Example

Police Commissioner Michael J.
Murphy has advised that peoplo
in the New York City area are
not using the police emergency
telephone number to their advantage. Last month only 45 percent of the emergency calls received by the Police Depai-tment
were made to 440-1234, the
emergency number introduced last
Nov. 10.
The Police Commissioner considers the maximiun use of this
means of swift communication
and police action in situations of
urgency to be of utmost importance in the Cltys efforts to protect Its citizens.
Using 440-1234 brings the callers voice dlreotly into the police

The Lady Is A Lawyer
And A Darn Coed One
By J A M E S F. O ' H A N L O N
This is a stx)ry that asks the question: "Can a pretty girl
lawyer from a resort town in the east find justice with jurisprudence while married to a corporate law man who works
on Wall Street?" The answer, according to the pretty girl
lawyer, would seem to be "Why
not?"
Our
s to r y
concern
Mrs.
Lillian Oohen, a slim, attractive
attorney tn the office of Atto/ney
General Louis Lefkowitz. She is a
graduate of Hai-vard Law School,
class of '62 and Douglass College
at Rutgers University, where she
majored in economics. On graduating from Hai'vard and being admitted to the New York Bar Association she went to work with a
law professor at Columbia University, assisting him in researching a now published two volume
work on New York Civil Practice.
After a year she accepted a position with the State assisting the
Attorney General in the Litigation
Department at the 80 Centre
Street offices.
While at Harvard, Mrs. Cohen
had spent a summer working at
80 Centre Sti'eet. Her pleasant experiences then and the Interest
instilled were major factors in her
decision to work for the State.
She admits, however, that there
was nothing in her childhood or
adolence that motivated her to
atudy law. If it were not for the
prompting of a talent conscious
professor at Rutgers, Bradley
Beach New Jersey, her home town,
might have one more economics
teacher.
The litigation appeal section is
largely concerned with cases of
convicted criminals filing habeus
corpus documents in order to appeal a State conviction in the
Federal courts. In the last few
years this has become a dynamic
area of activity in the courts. One
result of the inci'eased activity
is the n e e d o f industi-lous
young l a w y e r s
like
Mrs
Cohen. The added work-load allows them to get into court and
exercise their talents on this level
quite eai'ly in their careers. The
acceptance of responsibility by the
young attorneys, which is encouraged by Lefkowitz. brings a
wealth of experience and opportunity that is rare and infuses the
industry at 80 Centre Street with
valuable young ideas and enthusiasm.
Mrs. Cohen had barely tiled out
her new desk and sharpened her
pencils when she was given the
task of defending the position of the
State. A convicted man filed a
habeus corpus document for appeal

Hit By Military Cutbaiks
The first group of an expected 15,000 government job
seekers affected by Defense
Department cutbacks w e r e
named by a computer at Governors Island last week.
This opened the Civil Service Commission New York Region pilot placement program
for employees who are affected by the closing of Governors Island, Brooklyn Navy Yard and
other government Installations in
New York and New Jersey.
Using the US Army data processing center memm-y bank at
Port Jay, the Civil Service Commission is producing a list of all
individuals with particular skills
needed for specific jobs.
Under this regional program,
agencies are not permitted to appoint persons outside the system
unless there are no qualified Individuals available. To date more
than 2,000 employees have voluntarily registered as many as five
akUls each in the Center memory

computer Is a switch from the
usual concept of automation. Instead of replacing men by machines its c u n e n t mission Is to

She sought out advice and encouragement from the more experienced lawyers In her office
and carefully compiled a strong
case in defense of the conviction.
The convicted man was pointing
out that since he had been declared insane three weeks after
his trial he must have been insane at the time of the trial. Mrs
Cohen stood nervously by, her
presentation In prime readiness
and three fine witnesses warming
up on the sidelines. She wa.s ready
to prove that. In essence, the man
was Insane when he drew up the
habeus corpus document. Even before she got to use her thi-ee witnesses the Judge took it out of her
hands altogether. He dismissed the
case on grounds of insufficient evidence. As disappointed as she was
then, she feels that she didn't do so
badly for a girl who had never really talked out loud in court before.
Mrs. Cohen's husband, Joel, also
a lawyer, works for a law firm
in Manhattan. This would appear
to be a circumstance that would
bring about many little debates
over the dinner table but Mrs.
Cohen tells us that they do have
other interests in common.

lawyers in the litigation section

A t t e n d a n c e Rules
W o r k Progresses
By J O H N K. W O L F . C o m m i t t e e Ctiairman
"Our committee met on the evening of Feb. 18, and
reviewed the resolutions mandated by the delegates in
October, that pertain to the Attendance Rules.
"On Feb. 23, the chairman of this committee and staff
met with Civil Service Commission president Krone and Commissioner Palk and representatives of the Civil Service Department. All of CSEA's proposed
amendments to the present rules
were thoroughly discussed. And,
while no firm commitments were
received, the Commission did
promise to re-examine our requests and again evaluate some
of our proposals.
"Items t h a t were discussed
were:
• Payment for imused sick
leave a t the time of retirement, or,
upon death, to the beneficiary of
employee.
• The payment annually for
sick leave earned in excess of the
maximum accummulation, provided for in the rules.
• Provide leave with full pay
for all employees injured in the
line of duty.
• The securing of equivalent
time off for holidays that fall on
Saturday.
• Increase personal leave to
eight days.
• Increased vacation allowances
•Iter 15 years of service.

The committee wishes to assure
the delegates that it recognizes
this interest, is paying special attention to it and hopes t h a t progress Is being made on this proposal.

T h e amendment dealt with promotional ratings and reads as follows;
To om* query on how theii* members felt about their department's
use of promotional ratings, members conducted a survey, sent out
questlonaires; and reported back
.to us t h a t a majority of their
members are opposed to its use

thosfe who responded a majority
of their members are opposed to
Its use. (underlined is added language and as amended).
MOVED, to amend the report
and to urge t h a t the Governor be
asked to disapprove and veto a new
administration of (Work) Performance Rating as It was presented by the Civil Service Commission on December 16, 1964, and
f u r t h e r urge that the Association
demand t h a t any new administration (Work) Perfoimance R a t ings shall Included:
1. The right of an employee to

4. T h a t the Civil Sei-vice Commission grant personal heai'ings
on appeals if requested.
5. T h a t the CSEA be consulted
before final promulgation of the
rules."
T h e reguler report declared;
"This Committee has held a
number of meetings with the Department of Civil Service and with
the Civil Service Commission, besides engaging in voluminous correspondence and numerous telephone calls. Of great help to us
were t h e CSEA st8*ff people:
Henry Galpin, Tom Coyle, Bill
Blom. and above all. CSEA president Joseph Felly and Joseph
Lochner. executive director, who
was most forthright and articulate
In the constant battles with these
Sate adminisrators.
Major Issues
The thi'ee m a j o r issues were:
1. The proposed promotion r a ting system.
2. The multi-adjective rating
system.
3. Revision in work performance
rating rules.
"The proposed promotion rating
system is one of om* greatest
concerns. There Is no doubt in our
minds t h a t this method offers a
greater threat to the Merit System t h a n even multl-adjective
ratings. Instead of an evaluation
at the end of the year, the promotion mting system would require employees to be rated just
prior to taking a promotion exam,
with a posible spread of nine
points between a rating of "not
promotable" and one of "superior"
which are added to the marks for
written and oral exams as given.
No list is published fihowing the
breakdown of exam marks and
rating points. What makes It even
more pernicious, the promotion
rating is not appealable to the
Civil Service Commission. To us
is seems quite apparent that this
makes a mockery of tho Merit
System for it would open the
floodgates to prejudice and favoritism.
"This committee has long been
waging a militant campaign for
a two-adjective (satisfactory or
unsatisfactory) yearly rating system. The proposed 1965 performance rating rules, awaiting approval by the Governor, accedes to
our persistent efforts. We feel
this is a tremendous gain to our
membership. However, the Civil
Service Commis-sion reserves to
Itself the right to make exceptions.
"In 1963 the Commission granted the right of experimentation
with a promotion rating system to
two agencies* 1. Office of General
Services, 2. Public Services Department.
"Despite our vehement protests,
OGS went through with Its plans
to use promotion rating points on
a recent series of mangeiial exams.
The same faults of the multl-adjective rating method repeated
themselves here. Instead of unlfoi-mity and accuracy which we
were told would be insured through
one rater in a limited geographical
locations, there were several r a ters, scattered over the State, who

War Not Lost
"While we have not won the
battle we have not lost the war;
for we have held the line against
extending the promotion rating
system to any other agency.
"At this juncture we wish to

our queiT on how theli' members
felt about their department's use
of promotional ratings, they conducted a sui-vey, sent out questionaires, and reported back to us
t h a t a majority of their members
are opposed to its use.
"On the proposed rules governing performance ratings our boxscore is spotty. Appeal boards were
slated for the scrapheap but we
salvaged them. Otherwise we are
at t h e sole mercy of the agency
head. However, the Civil Service
Commission insists on the right
t o grant the agency head the
power to over-ride t h e decision of

Commission agree to personal
heai'ings on appeals. Our insistence on the right of every employee to receive a copy of t h e rating

and the right of rebuttal will u n doubtedly find them included in
this year's rules.

Reclassification, Reallocation Topic of West Conf. Forum|
By JOE DEASY. JR.
PERRYSBURG, April 12—Reallocation and reclassification of civil service employees was discussed during a forum
of the Western Conference, Civil Service Employees Assn.,
held prior to the regular April meeting of the Conference
at the J.N. Adam State School recently.
Thomas Coyle, research analyst
for the 130,000-member Association discussed the processing of
employee appeals for reallocation
and reclassification while Pauline
Fitchpatrick, second vice-president of the Conference traced the
progress of a recent reallocation
appeal.
Celeste Rosenkranz, chairman of
the Conference's appeal committee acquainted the some 200 delegates attending the meeting with
the services available through her
committee, Leo Bernstein, education chairman of the Conference
was moderator for the session.
Discuss Quinn-Wolfe Bill
Jack Ticen of the Correction
Department requested and received Conference support for the
Quinn-Wolfe bill which is presently in committee in the State
Legislature and would grant a
guaranteed 25-year retirement for
correction officers.
Following the forum, Conference president William Rossiter
called for reports from the Conference's committee on nominations.
George DeLong presented the
slate which was passed without ol>jection or nominations from the
floor. Under Conference by-laws
the nominees must be approved
again at the next meeting of the
delegates In May.
Election Slate
The slate presented by the commltee included:
For president: Melba Binn and
William Rossiter; fii-st vice-president: Pauline Fitchpatrlck and
Raymond Walker; second vicepresident: Larry Barning and
R u t h Heacox; third vice-president; Vlrglna Halbert and Mary
Gormely.
Corresponding secretary: Ethel
Colby and Mary Brady; recording
secretary: Jean Palmatler and
Andrew Tritz; treasurer: Kenyon
Ticen and Robert Arrigo.
Resolution Proposed
Miss Rosenkranz urged the delegates to consider a resolution
which would—should the State's
budget fall to pass prior to the
opening of the fiscal year and
employees be faced with the prospect of "a payless payday" at any
time In the future—mandate the
State to borrow money to pay
employees and not have the bur-
—
den placed upon the employee,
s h e also noted that under State
Law, if the same conditions now
facing the State affected employers In private industry, all
wage claims would have to be
paid to employees before any other
creditors could be paid.
Following the regular conference meeting, the Gowanda State
Hospital chapter and the J. N.
Adam State
School
chapter,
CSEA, served as hosts for the
cocktail party and dinner at the
American Legion Hall In Gowanda.
Dinner Speaker
Speaker at the dinner was Assemblyman A. Bruce Manley (RChautauqua) who discussed the
current budget problems facing
the State Legislature. Manley
noted that his party was watching out for the employees' welfare. "Until the majority party
takes some action on the budget
the minority party has arranged
for interest-free assignment of
wages from local participating
lending Institutions", Manley said.
The Chautauqua County assemblyman noted t h a t the complexion
of the Legislature has changed
and the Governor must present a
balanced budget—^amounting to
over $3,000,000,000. "There must
be, " he explained, " a n automatic $250,000,000 Increase for all
