Music Fund Aids
Student Fire Loss
■' Funds are being collected by the music department to help Rich
ard Brady, seventh semester music education major, replace a tenor
saxophone’ lost in a fire which swept his apartment house residence
Thursday.
•: The department’s faculty and students and members of the Blue
Band, of which Brady is a mem
ber, have contributed to the fund.
The saxophone was valued at be
tween $4OO and $5OO,
A state fire marshall from the
Hollidaysburg state police bar
racks will investigate today caus
es for the fire which left ten per
sons homeless, Bruce Homan, bor
ough fire marshal, said yesterday.
Personal Possessions Lost
Brady and another student, John
Huntoon, eighth semester arts and
letters major; a faculty member,
William Pritchard, instructor in
English composition, and his fam
ily; and three other persons were
able to escape the blaze, which
originally was believed to have
been started by defects in the oil
burner. Later investigations led
firemen to suspect other factors
had caused the fire in the three
story frame structure at 133 N.
Barnard street.
Total damage has not been es
timated, Homan said. Persons liv
ing in the building were unable
to save personal possessions.
The blaze spread quickly after
the initial explosion because of
the age of the building and a
space between the walls 'in the
cellar which fanned the fire as
it swept to the upper floors, Ho
man said.
Greatest Damage on Third Floor
Brady and Huntoon heard the
explosion, gave an alarm and as
sisted women and children from
the first and second floors to
safety.
Members of the Alpha Fire de
partment extinguished the fire af
ter several holes had been burned
in the building’s roof. Heaviest
damage was reported on the third
floor where water damage was
iadded to the fire’s destruction.

JOHN B. NOLTE, Purdue University, asks:
"What is G.E.’s
Manufacturing
Training Program? 9
The Manufacturing Training Program at General Electric
is a program of basic training for manufacturing leader
ship, including planned rotational work assignments and
related classroom study for outstanding young men who
are interested in a career in manufacturing. It was or
ganized to meet the increased demand for effective manu
facturing leadership and technical "know how,” in line
with the expansion and development of the Company’s
operations by developing trained men to fill future key
positions in the organization.
Who is eligible for this program? '
In general, the Program is open to college graduates with
degrees in engineering and science, and a limited number
of business administration and liberal arts graduates. We
are looking for outstanding young men with sound
educational backgrounds, well-balanced personalities,
demonstrated thinking abilities, and baring the potential
to develop toward top level responsibility in key assign
ments.
How long is the program?
The normal length of the Program is three years. How
ever, some individuals may be able to complete their
training in a shorter period because of previous knowl
edge or experience in manufacturing work.
What type of work assignments are made?
Work assignments are provided in all phases of manu
facturing and related functions so that each man will
acquire knowledge of manufacturing engineering, in
cluding manufacturing methods and techniques, shop
operation, production control, personnel administration,
labor relations/ engineering activities, sales and manu
facturing co-ordination, and general business administra
tion.
In addition to job assignments, classroom courses

added.
Thomas said he opposed the
Smith Act, which restricts forces
acting to overthrow the govern
ment, because of the indefinite
nature of its provision.
The MeCaren Act, he said, is
“mish mash which would be fun
ny if it were not serious.”
In a discussion after his speech,
Thomas said he regarded loyalty
oaths as “silly and ineffectual.”
Driving the Communists under
ground only hastens the already
existing tendency to operate
through inner penetration, he
claimed.
In his speech, the Socialist lead
er also, discussed five problems of
freedom, which he said involve
creed and are not tied in with the
cold war.
1. Civil liberties, or the respect
for individuals regardless of race,
creed, or national origin is the
problem in which most progress is
being made, Thomas said, al
though Americans have not
achieved what they should have
in the fight against discrimina
tion.
2. The right of consumers, he
said, must be protected in the rise
and growth of labor unions, which
in some instances tend to disre
gard the public while seeking
personal gains.
3. Freedom of information,
Thomas said, should be main-

cover such subjects as Company organization, manufac
turing operations, labor and personnel relations, business
administration, law and relationships between manu
facturing and other functions of the business. Progress
on the job and in classroom work is carefully observed
and reviewed periodically with each man to assist him
in his career.
What happens after training is completed?
After completing the training program, graduates are
placed in operating departments and divisions throughout
the Company in positions where leadership and initiative
are needed. All placements are made in relation to the
aptitudes, abilities, and interests of the graduates.
At General Electric, manufacturing operations involve
the administration and supervision of activities of more
than 100,000 men and women in more than 100 plants,
who are involved in the making of some 200,000 different
products.
The wide scope of these activities, the great variety of
products, and the diversity of manufacturing activities
offer limitless opportunities and exciting challenges to
college graduates today.
Manufacturing training is a foundation for leadership—
and an opportunity to build a satisfying, rewarding
career in one of America’s most important industries.
If you are a graduate engineer, or a graduate with definite
technical inclinations that include an interest in the career possibili-
ties in manufacturing, see your college placement director for
the date of the next visit of the General Electric representative
on your campus. Meanwhile, for further information on oppor
tunities with General Electric write to College Editor, Dept. 2-123,
