Egyptian Students
: To United State.

Cairo, tEgypt-Thirty-three Egypti-
an students have been selected by the
minister Of communications. to be
sent abroad to complete their techni-
cal studies. Ten Of them will go to
the United States.
These young men will study the
latest developments in manufacturing
processes. Following an agreement
between the American department Of
commerce and Egyptian government,
one Of them will be assigned. for two
years training, to the locomotive de-
partment Of some American railroad.
Another will spend two years studying
internal combustion engines. 1t has
been arranged that a third will pass
four years apprenticeship in the, naval
shipbuilding yards. and another will
spend two years in the telephone serv-
Ice. The other six will spend three
years In automo bile factories. All the
expenses incurred by these students
will be met by the Egyptian govern
ment. It is felt here that this pro-
gram will aid in bringing about closer
economic and industrial relations be-
tween Egypt and the United States.
