Chou Refuses Ride On Camel CAIRO (UPI) Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-lai made a 90-minute tour of the world-famous pyramids and the Sphinx outside Cairo, but he po litely refused to ride a camel. He agreed to be photographed leaning against a squatting camel. But as for riding one that was out, as far as the stocky Red Chinese leader was concerned. Following his side trip to the pyramids, Chou scheduled his third and final session of talks with United Arab Republic Fresident Gamal Abdel Nasser Earlier, he had been quoted as saying the international sit ur.tion remains the same now as it was before the assassina tion of President Kennedy. The newspaper Al-Gomhouna quoted Chou as saying, "there is no difference in the (interna tional) situation before and , af ter Kennedy's assassination be cause the forces directing cap italistic policy remain the same, whether in monopolies or oil companies or others.- There is no diltorence he- tween President Johnson and the late President Kennedy, particularly since the new Pres ident increased American mili tary appropriations beyond the level existing in the days of the late president. Political observers said the results of Chou's talks with Nasser will be released Satur day in a joint communique They said the communique might disclose new efforts on China's part to seek a peaceful settlement of its border dispute with India. education, for older workers whose inability to read and write makes retraining for jobs impossible. It also would five stales an extra year to start paying part of the cost of retraining courses and extend the entire program, originally three years, through June 30, 1966. The 1962 act, first attempt by Congress to deal with growing joblessness due to automation and other basic economic changes, set a target of 400,000 trainees in three years. Offi cials believe the expanded, ex tended program will be able to handle 700,000 persons, about a quarter of them in the 17-22 age class. Lower Age Limit The original manpower law limited youth training sharply and placed a lower ago limit of 19 on the trainees. But new attention on high school drop out and youth unemployment statistics persuaded sponsors to shift the emphasis. The 1962 law made no provi sion for teaching academic sub jects to trainees, but one of the first lessons of its application was that modern industry de in anus literate workers. The new law would permit up to 20 weeks of training in basic edu cation in addition to the skill courses. Up to 93,000 youths and adults a year will be benefitted by the new programs, which add $100 million annually to the federal state cost. .
