Court Upholds Soldiers
Claims in Civil Service
Justice Tierney Sustains Law
Giving War Veterans Pref
erence OH List

Justice Tierney, in the Supreme
Court, yesterday handed down de
cision sustaining the constitutlonallty
Of the law giving preference to war
veterans who were on civil service ell
gible lists when they entered the
United States service.
The decision was given in denying
an application by three policemen WHO
sought an order directing the Num-
cipal Civil Service Commission not to
place the name of Patrolman J. w.
Cook. war veteran, at the head Of the
list for promotion.
The decision has been awaited with
much interest by all civil employees
especially those in the uniformed serv-
ices Of the city. Heretofore veterans
of the Civil War have enjoyed pref
erence in civil service examinations
and this, under the ruling of Jus cice
Tierney, is extended to veterans of the
World War.
"The civil service section,' said JUS
tice Tierney, contains the proviso that
veterans Of the Civil War shall be en-
titled to preference in appointment
and promotion without regard to THEN
standing on any list 1t is obvious
that the Legislature cannot provide fol
any preference that would conflict with
that given to veterans of the Civil
War"

DR.. LefkOwitZ HOnOred
By the Teachers Union
Declares Ideals of Profession

Their Iustcr

"America has lost the light of the
torch that has always guided her. de-
clared Dr. Abraham Lefkowitz, teacher
of history at De Witt Clinton High
School, yesterday afternoon, at a testi-
monial luncheon given to him by the
Teachers Union at the Hotel McAlpin.
More than 100 members of the Teach
ers' Union assembled at the hotel to
pay tribute to the history teacher who
fought for the passage of the Lock-
wood Donohue teachers bill at Albany.
Many principals who were not members
of the union were present to greet DE-.
Lefkowitz. Dr.. Cornelius Fleming,
principal of Public School 100, recalled
the days when DR.. Lefkowitz was a
teacher under him. In appreciation of
what he had done for the teachers the
union presented DR.. Lefkowitz with a
pocketbook In replying to the testi-
monial address Dr.. Lefkowitz said:
"Teaching is the profession upon
which society depends for its ideals. In
the last few years those ideals have
lost something of their luster and
glory. We follow the crowd. 1t mat
ters not how absurd or how criminal
the goal we seek, we seek it so long as
the crowd seeks it, too. believe we
should stand up for what we believe in:

was fed on, and that is the kind of
Americanism try to feed"
