Egyptian Domination of Libyan Schools of Concern To Westerners Tripoli (U.R) Western ob servers are seriously concerned about Egyptian domination of the Libyan school system. Practically all the teachers In this strategic desert kingdom are Egyptians. Western observers es timate their number at about 800. The textbooks and curriculum also are largely Egyptian. Libyan officials point out that Egypt is the one country in the Arab world that is in a position to ex port teachers, and Libya has al most none of its own. The situation worries western diplomats because of American and British strategic interests here. The United States has a large air base at Wheelus Field, and a big British army contin gent including a crack armored unit is stationed here. The Egyptian teachers are re cruited with the help of large Egyptian cultural missions in Libya's twin capitals of Tripoli and Benghazi. The teachers re portedly are paid by the Egyp tian govarnment in addition to their salaries received from Libya. A School Exhibit Western observers say this system allows Egypt to maintain control over the teachers. They say it assures Cairo that the teachers will spread the Egyptian line in Libya's schools. This is what worries western officials. The Egyptian line is to rid Libya and all the Arab world of western influence, they say, and in this case it means stra tegic bases in the Middle East. Egyptian influence on the na tion's students was well-demonstrated by a recent secondary school exhibit here. Some examples: A painting of Libya's new army marching through the streets trampling an Italian flag. The Italians, who occupied and colonized Libya, symbolize the "colonial" west to Libyans. A map of the Mediterranean, labelled the "sea of hatred." It shows bombs dropping from Gi braltar to Israel. One large bomb is planted in the middle of the map, with the fuse leading off to western Europe. A caption reads, "Who planted these seeds of hatred?" U. S. Sent On Other exhibits included stu dent newspapers with pictures of "heroes" in the battle against colonialism. One was the Mau Mau terrorist leader, Jomo Ken yatta, and the paper said he was executed because he "asked for freedom." "The Egyptians are building a potential monocracy in the schools here which will be a ser ious threat to the king or any others who oppose Egypt," one western diplomat said. The government of Premier Mustapha Ben Halim has wel comed teachers from other lands. The government asked the Unit MAIL TRIBUNE ,M. .

The United States provided one. Britain has also been encour aged to set up educational facil ities here. British sources said Premier Ben Halim is "very anxious" that a British school be established in Tripoli, and headmaster Brandon Laight of the English school in Cairo re cently started preliminary in vestigations of this project. But neither Britain, the United States, nor any other western power appears to be in a position Five Area Students Get Scholarships At OSC from State Corvallis Meredith Jean Foote, Maralee Gene Chisholm, Lucy Maria Gardener, James William Korth, and Bonnie Lu cille Sears, high school gradu ates from the Medford area, have 'been awarded $120 schol arships for 1956-57 at Oregon State college.
