Twelve employees of the State Insurance Fund’s Payroll Audit Division have already
felt the sting of conviction as a result of the two-year investigation conducted by Ber­
nard Botein, general attorney to the Fund. In his report to Governor Lehniun, made pub­
lic last week, Botein stated that in addition to the 12 who have been convicted o f taking
bribes, two have been acquitted, and six are awaiting trial.

Leader
contenders, with 778 votes to his credit. In a spurt
over the final week, Walter
Klippel reached second place

the voting.
As holder of the Most Pop­

Prior to appointment, every Hospital Attendant receives a
set of instructions dealing with the care and attitude toward the
patients under his supervision. He is expected to study these
instructions, become thoroughly familiar with them. These
instructions cover many of the duties of the Hospital Attendant.
The June 29th examination will be based, on the duties of the
Hospital Attendant. The “donfs” listed below, based on these
official instructions, therefore serve as excellent study material.
Read them carefully. They will be of great help in preparing
yourself for the coming test.
The leader will publish valuable study material each week
until the test.

Cancelled
Four competitive a n d o n e
change-of-title exams, previously
ordered by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission, were cancel­
led last week. The cancelled tests
were for Junior Administrative As­
sistant (Board of Higher Educa­
tion); Junior Draftsman (Archi­
tectural), Grade 1; Pipe Caulker;
Superintendent (Asphalt Plant);
and change of title to Hostler,
In cancelling the first of these
exams the Commission declared
the list for Junior Administrative
Assistant (Welfare) appropriate
for the position. Tlie Architectural
Assistant, Grade 2 list will be used
for Junior Draftsman positions.
The other lists were cancelled be­
cause there were not sufficient va­
cancies to wan-ant the holding of
new tests.

Payrolls for provisional Firemen
In the New York City Housing
Authority were stopped last week
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission and tlie list for Por­
ters was declared appropriate for
the jobs. The Porters w'ho are ap­
pointed must be qualified in the
operation of oil burners or low
pressure boilers.
According to the Commission,
the refusal of the Housing Auth­
ority to employ eligibles from the
Porter’s list was based on the fact
that they did not have the nec­
essary license. “However, the provisionals were not required to have
such certificates,” the Commission
added.
"Obviously, it is unfair to favor
the provisionals by setting differ­
ent requirements for regular Civil
Service eligibles.”

Dept, changed their concept of the Su­
pervisor positions and asked that another
list be declared appropriate.

to take the License for Structural Welder
exam. License examinations are adminis­
tered by the Commission but are not used
to form eligible lists.

lication of the Municipal
Ci v i l Service Commission
carried a correction last week
to the final key answers for
the promotion test to Clerk,
Grade 2, and promotion to
Stenographer a n d Type­
writer, Grade 2. According to
the Commission’s first of­
ficial final key answer, a

amended to read: B or C.
In its latest final key, the
Commission published six ad­
ditional answers. As finally
corrected, the answers are:
(7) B and C; (12) stricken
out; (18) stricken out; (31)
stricken out; (50) A or B;

Eligibles on all Stat« Clerk lists
may band together; the purpose is
to carry on the fight for Civil Ser­
vice “on the basis of merit In­
stead of what appears to be . . .
discrimination.”
The executive committee of the
State Account and Audit Clerks
Eligibles Association Is now at
work attempting to bring the var­
ious groups together. The asso­
ciation meanwhile continues to
plan for a suit for jobs alleged to
have been taken away from their
listThe eligibles say that unless
various State departments are
forced to use the Account and
Audit Clerk lists, the lists will be
allowed to expire.

A Q uestion o f A c c u ra c y
The Leader's reputation for
a c c u r a t e revorting was
strengthened again last week.
A story about the next State
test for Prison Guard appear^
ed in Frank Prial's newspaper.
The Chief, tvhich completely
contradicted several of its ear­
lier stories. The Leader had
taken paitis to correct The
Chief’s inaccuracies.
In its February 2 issue. The
Chief ran the following banner
head across page 1: STATE
TEST FOR PRISON GUARD.
The subhead read: Applications
may Be Issued Shortly.
A checkup by The Leader
indicated that no applications
for Prison Guard would be is­
sued “shortly”; in fact, that
there would be no Prisoji Guard
test before the Fall. In the next
issue of The Leader it ivas stat­
ed: “The Leader has learned
that the State Civil Service De­
partment is not planning to an­
nounce a test for the positioii
in the near future.” The Leader
quoted Miss Grace A. Reavy as
saying: “We certainly wouldn’t
announce a Prison Guard test
before next Fall.”
In its issue of February 23,
The Chief quoted Miss Reavy
as salving she would “like” to
hold the Prison Guard test in
June. Miss Reavy told a re­
porter from The Leader that
she had been misquoted by the
Chief and that “We have no
surplus money to hold a Priso?i
Guard test before the end of
the fiscal year.” The Leader
added that the test would be
held in the Fall.
In the May 3 issue of The
Chief there is the following
statement: Prison Guard Test
to Be in October.
This final story in The Chief
is a complete backtracking from
its report in February that the
test would be held “shortly.”
On the other^ hand, every
fact made public by The Leader
has proven correct. The Lead­
er’s statement that the test
would not come before the Fall
is admitted by The Chief in its
current issue.
