Unemployed Warned: To Avoid Racket Of Unlicensed Schools Federal Security Administrator McNutt warned persons interested in vocational training for defense jobs to beware of unlicensed commercial schools "guaranteeing" jobs to per sons who pay "stiff fees" to take their courses. McNutt said that although Con gress "has voted money for this type of training and tens of thousands of young people are being trained without expense to them through public schools and the NYA, com plaints in increasing numbers are reaching his office that unlicensed schools are springing up in many. parts of the country to exploit the unemployed, particularly youth, by offering to train them for important jobs in defense industries. "While there are some excellent private vocational Institutions, the BABY CHICKS U. S.
