PICKENS DEFENDS
0N-J0B TRAINING
Says State Has AS Much
Right To Participate
Al Any Employer

RALEIGH, Aug. 10 -N)- The
state of North Carolina has as
much right to organize an on-the-
job training program for veterans
as any other employer" W. M.
Pickens, director of the North
Carolina veterans commission from
the office of assistant budget di-
rector R. G.. Deyton who said the
state did not approve of it's en-
ployes participating in the pro-
gram for the veterans.
The state of North Carolina has
been running such a training pro-
gram for months, Pickens said.
"Deyton is absolutely right in his
desire to avoid any scandal in the
state government in connection
with the program" Pickens admit
ted. However, these departments
which have set up this (training)
program, there is bona fide train
ing program approved by the vet
Grams education committee of the
department of public instruction.
This committee checks the
training program in a very exact
ing manner, and if there is no
training situation existing, the
committee disapproves the pro-
gram, and returns it to the agency
submitting it," Pickens said.
He said that the on-the-job train
ing program was authorized by an
act of congress ''to compensate the
long months and years the veter-
ans spent in the armed forces. The
law was passed by congress to
give the veteran some extra money
while adjusting himself. 1t can be
exploited, and probably is in some
cases." Pickens admitted. But
there is little evidence of such ex-
ploitation in North Carolina"
Pickens said that North Carolina
was among the leading states in
its requirements for and supervi-
sion of on-the-job training.
Much effort has been devoted
to encouraging employers and
business establishments to qualify
for and set up training programs"
he said. THE veterans plight
would be sad indeed if the employ
r in North Carolina followed the
negative lead of the state in this
program"

out of the musicians, the perform
ance of the symphonic poem,
Romeo and Juliet" excerpts from
the Sleeping Beauty" ballet and
of the symphony No. in F minor,
op. &c." was on a high level.
1t was hearing the orchestra in
these works that one could fully
appreciate it's caliber. the f1exibility
with which it followed Mr.. Smallens
directions and its enthusiasm. The
abandon spoke of experience which
comes only from repeated perform
ances of the same compositions as
contrasted with the presentation of
unfamiliar music, often without Suf-

Thrills Water Gate Audience

! the seating capacity of the outdoor
auditorium, available space on
bridges, lawns and points of vantage

1t was like living over similar
night, year ago, when an almost
identical program of compositions
by this beloved master brought like
wise thousands to the Lincoln

lens, then as it was yesterday, who
treated Tschaikowsky's many-sided
talent with adequate skill in selec-
tions most representative of his
genius.
AS yesterdays concert conceded
with the commemoration of the
Bastille day by the French, the Or
chestra gave an impressive per-
formance of the Marseillaise, pre-
ceeded by the National Anthem. This
was followed by Tschaikowsky's
1872 Overture, op. 49," with which
the composer made his debut as a
conductor in this country at the
dedication of Carnegie Hall in May,
1891. Festive and joyous in charac-
ter, it is imbued with a patriotic
spirit strangely expressive of the
present day, although typical Of
Russia's colorful past.
Opening with the well-known
Russian Orthodox church chant
and ending with the majestic
strains of the old national anthem,
pealing of church bells and boom
of cannons, the overture bears, like
many of Tschaikowsky's great
works, the stamp of inspiration.
In spite of the fact that the COM
poser believed that "inspiration is
the result of hard work" and called
it luck" if after five days Of strug-
gle he would achieve good results
