University Urged For East Africa
As Three Governments Study Project

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 26.-The
establishment of a University of
East Africa is under consideration
by the governments of Kenya,
Uganda and Tanganyika.
Two factors are expected to
hasten a decision to go forward
with the project. "a
One is the expansion of element
airy and secondary education in
East Africa, which has produced
q demand for more teachers, par
ticularly secondary-school teachers
with university training.
The second factor is the rapid
movement Of the three territories
toward seh-government. AS this
goal is realized, large numbers of
African civil servants, many with
qualifications that coulds be gained
only through higher education,
will be required.

Some 1000 TV boosters are now

Egan Invites
Alaska Extension
of Proposed Rail

VANCOUVER, B. c., R - Gov
ernor William Egan says his state
would be Sympathetic" to plans
for extension of the proposed
Pacific Northern Railway to the
49th State.
In a letter, Governor Egan also
expressed hope that he would be
invited to discuss the railway de-
velopment, but "to date the State
of Alaska has not been ap-
preached officially in this
matter"
The newly-formed PNR is re-
ported to have already spent one
million dollars on initial surveys
for a 700-mile route from Prince
Rupert to the B. C.-Yukon bor-
der and application has been made
to the federal government for a
right-of-way through the Yukon
to the Alaska border.
Such a develoment would give
Alaska an overland rail link with
the rest of the United States.
In response to query from The
Vancouver Sun, Governor Egan
wrote the newspaper that it is
expected the B. C. and Alaska
government will discuss the pro-
posed railway at a July 10 con-
ference in Victoria.
He said the Alaska government
is making studies to determine po-
tential freight and passenger traf-
fic on such a rail connection, but
findings are not expected until
the end of this year.
If negotiations do begin for an
international rail connection, said
Governor Egan, it probably will
be at the federal level.
In Victoria, meanwhile, B. C.
Transport Minister Lyle Wicks
said the PNR, backed by Swedish
industrialist Axel Wenner Gren
interests, has been granted the
right to issue $1,000,O00 worth of
1900 shares as an interim financing
measure.
A borrowing power of $2,000,-
600 has ben set for the railway,
Wicks said, and "the present fl
nancing will come from the rail-
way itself"
The money would enable the
PNR to make formal application
to the Public Utilities Commits
sion for a certificate of public
convenience.
