Training Called
Failure In y. G..
Daily Dispatch Eureau.
In the Sir WaiInr Hotel
By HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh. Dec. 7.-North Carolina 5
System of apprenticeship training is
a complete failure. the states Of
fetal union group for the build
ing and construction trades has
charged.
The North Carolina Building and
Construction Trades Council recent
ly adopted singing resolutions scor-
ing failure Of the State Apprentice
ship Training Council to accomplish
any appreciable results during the
IpaSt year and half.
The whole matter was passed
along to State Commissioner of La
dor Forrest H. Shufford, Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins and the In
ternational Union officials who were
sponsors of the system authorized
to be set up by the 1889 General
Assembly.
The resolution scorchngly con-
demned overlapping Of government
tai agencies and called on Commits
soner Shuford, Miss Perkins and the
ulllOIl OIllCldlS " SHpIilll N4ial ~
NOW expected Of the state council.
Three reasons for the complete
breakdown Of the system were cited:
I'D failure and refusal of employ
ers to indenture apprentices offer
ed them by the Apprenticeship Coun-
ell; (2) activities of the National
Youth Administration in attempting
to train apprentices in the skilled
trades; and CD program Of the Works
Progress Administration which, &C
cording to the resolution, has in
vaded the field of apprenticeship,
training. blue printing, contracting
and every other phase Of building
and construction activities which
have heretofore been depended up
on by contractors and building
Itradesmen for the business and live
lihood.
The council pointed out that it
had contributed its utmost to sue
cess Of the plan, with three of its
outstanding members as labor'S rep
resentatives; but added that almost
exactly nothing has been accom-
pliShed

Enlarging the Patrol

Request is to be made of the COM
ing General Assembly to enlarge
the State Highway Patrol. accord
ing to adviceS from official quarters
in the State capital. An increase
Of ll2 10 Il total Of 300, or nearly
double the present personnel, is the
Dian contemplated.
Two years hence, request will
probably be made for additional
personnel. maybe then to five or
six hundred in all, or some Gthei'
figure. 1t has been the custom since
the first nucleus was authorized
some years ago to ask for more at
every ScSSion-and each time more
men have been added Where this
habit will be halted, or Just what
number OF men might be consider
ed adequate. only the future will re-
veal.
At the outset the appeal was
based on contention that creation
and runctiuning of Tho patrol would
reduce accidents on the highways.
or course. that was just an argu-
Dicut and almost without lolmda-
ton in fact, as time has shown.
With an exception or two, annual
fatalities and injuries on the pub
lie roads have steadily increased,
and this in the face of continued en-
largement Of patrol personnel.
We do not claim to be conversant
with all duties highway patrolmen
are expected to perform or dc per
form. but doubt seriously if habit
ual increases every two years in
the number Of patrolmen are worth
the cost. Nowhere have we seen a
statement or estimate of the maxi
mum that would be necessary to
supply the number Of men the au-
thoritieS think would be wholly ade-
uuate for the job in hand, but GER
tainly the peak of their desires has
nothing like yet been reached. And
If the total is hked this winter to
three hundred. officials OF the or
ganization most likely will be right
back Il biennium hence to ask for
still more. Where will they stop, or
when will the number be suIIi-
Gent to satisfy them
II is fairly certain that requests
will be granted by the
legislature. but it is a question that
will stand a lot Of deliberati0n be-
fore enlargement is authorized.

A Burden Lifted

Communications to life impriSon-
ment for two condemned men, re-
prieve for third and decision to
allow a fourth to die-and he did
die Friday-cOnStituted probably the
last action by Governor Hoey in
Death Row cases before he goes out
Of office early next month. And
therein was the lifting OF d burden
from the mind of a tender-hearted,
compassionate chief executive which
likely weighed more heavily upon
him than any otner duty that de-
volved upon him during his quad
rennium in high office.
1t must be a most trying moment
FOR any executive when there comes
to him the obligation to exercise the
power of life and death over any
man, whatever his crime. And the
decision finally does come to the
governor in virtually every case
where the death penalty is imposed
by the courts of this State. Almost
without exception capital cases are
appealed to the Supreme Court,
then in instances where judgment
of the lower court is affirmed,
pressure is turned on the governor
as d last resort He and he alone
I has the last word; he decides in the
end whether the criminal may live
or must die. Only God can give
life, but, at least in these eXtremi-
ties. it is the executive alone who
DEGREES that it shall be taken away
We submit that it ought not so
to be. No one man should be re-
CURED to assume so vast d respon-
SibiIity. A pardon or parole board
would at least divide the decision
Better still, why capital punish
ment2. The principal argument for
it is as d deterrent of crime. But
does it do that? without actual
statistics to prove or disprove in
either direction, it would be our
guess that those few states that do
not take the life of criminals have
no more crimes than those which do.
That is another part of the argu-
menl. but we can imagine that
Governor Hoey, as all others who
have preceded him, will find II
easier to sleep, with the duty of ar
bitter of human life removed once
and forever from him. 1t is tire
nlendous burden lifted.
