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

Britain has also been encour

Unexpected Riches
Spokane U.R) Mrs. Lu
cille Boyd Gallegos, 30, an In
dian, is $158,500 richer today
but won't be able to collect un
til she finished a four-day sen
tence in the local drunk tank.
Mrs. Gallegos, Wellpinit,
Wash., along with her brother,
Richard Boyd, 18, will share an
unexpected $317,000 to be paid
by the Dawn Mining Co., New
York, for uranium rights on 458
acres of their tribal reservation.
"I knew we would get quite
a sum for leasing the land," she
said, "but I never expected it
to reach such an amount. I'm
so happy. That's why I've been
drinking too much and that's
why I'm in the tank."
A total of $340,000 will be
paid eight members of the Boyd
family with the bulk of it go
ing to Mrs. Gallegos and Rich
ard. Mrs. Gallegos said she plan
ned to pay bills, buy a car and
build a home on the reserva
tion with her share of the
money. She still has two days
to serve.
