But only five per cent Of the
refugees have any kind of en-

Target Of Agitators
So most adult refugees sit day

learn a trade or even under
stand what 1t means to work
for a living. The older men see
their skills rust and brood about

the f1xation quickest"
The fact is however that right
now no solution to the refugee
problem Is in sight. The coun-
tries concerned agree. however,
a solution should have high pri-
ority among Middle East prob
lens.
Egypt says Israel must find an
acceptable solution before the
war between the two, countries
can be ended and Israel can use
the Suez Canal and Gulf OF
Aquaba. Israel has said it is
willing to absorb a publically
unstated number of refugees
tprivately put at around 2O0,-
000) and help compensate the
rest. America has offered to help
in the compensation.
No Signs of Concession
But there is no sign that either
Israel or the Arab countries are
willing to make quick conces-
sions on the refugee issue.
Israel expects a million Jewish
refugees to arrive this year from
Middle Eastern and African
countries and has not given up
hope Of bringing in up to two
million Jews now held behind
the iron curtain. She does not
want to complicate that vast
absorption problem by admitting
large numbers of Arab refugees
And many Jews say acceptance
of any Palestine refugees would
be to bring a fifth column into
the country.
Only Jordan. of the neighbor-
ing Arab countries has absorbed
substantial numbers Of refugees
The Jordanians simply annexed
the territory west Of the Jordan
River into which many Of the
refugees had been driven.
! Egypt regards even GAIA ref
ugees as foreigners and refuses
to let them work in Egypt. Egypt
says she does not have enough
land for her own citizens.
Neutral students Of the prob.
lem usually conclude also that
Egypt does not want an easy
solution. The refugees keep the
border areas in ferment and heir
harass Israel. And world pres.

Egyptians believe, force Israe,
to accept Egyptian terms for q
settlement.

The Marine Corps, which

today that Commandant RAN

his personal drivers clad in
black chauffeur's uniforms.
This was the official reply to
queries about why Gen. Pate,
known as a stickler for regula-
tons. saw fit to have the drivers
slip into livery for certain pur-
poses.
The corps spokesman did not
elaborate on what occasions the
commandant decided the drivers
should change to conventional
chauffeur's uniforms, but said
they probably were those affairs
more Of a civilian than military
cast.
It was suggested the drivers
themselves might be Intercepted
