U.S. Competes With Red Bloc In Training Algerian Students
Since Algeria became independent last July the Institute of International Education, which is supported by the U.S. government, has made 50 scholarships at American universities available to Algerian students. The grants cover travel expenses, tuition and an allowance of $200 to $300 monthly for board, room and incidentals.
ALGIERS — (UPI) — The United States and other Western nations are competing fiercely with the Communist bloc to train students from newly independent Algeria.
BY JANUARY there will be 125 Algerian students in the United States. France is expected to take between 700 and 1,000, and West Germany 70.
The first group of 15 Algerian students left here recently for the United States to take an intensive six-months' English course at Georgetown University. All are preparing for a bachelor of science degree.
More than 200 Algerians are studying in Communist bloc universities, including 50 in Russia, 40 to 50 in Yugoslavia, 40 in Bulgaria and 75 in East Germany.
Another group of 19 flew to the United States last week to continue studies interrupted by more than seven years of war with France.
Algerians sent to the United States to study have been handpicked by the Algerian Education Ministry on the basis of their record in the war with France. The ministry's policy is to send only science students, since this young country is desperately short of both teachers and facilities in this field.
ANOTHER 25 scholarships have been given by the United States National Student Association. Before independence, the Ford Foundation and the American Friends of the Maghreb made scholarships available to about 50 young Algerians.
ONE STUDENT, who declined to give his name, is a young Algerian-born European from Oran who served with the rebel forces against the French. Another, a Moslem, said he spent four-and-a-half years in French jails after being arrested by French paratroopers during the bloody "Battle of Algiers" in 1853.
Another student formerly was a "political commissar" with the rebel guerrilla forces.
Foreign Students Visit Truman Library
About 54 foreign students and faculty members traveled to Independence, Mo., Friday to visit the Harry S. Truman Library.
The annual trip to Independence is usually sponsored by the University. This year's tour was co-sponsored by the KU People-to-People.

Among the universities to which they are expected to be admitted in 1833 are Pennsylvania, UCLA, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Indian, Texas and Columbia.
The University of Kansas Teacher Placement Bureau was deluged with more than 12,000 requests for instructors from schools throughout the nation during the past year.

There were far more openings than teachers, the bureau said, and competition was keen for the experienced, well-educated instructor.

Algerians studying in Iron Curtain universities also are mostly taking courses in science and engineering. Students here said requirements for entry into Communist bloc universities are extremely low compared with those for American universities.
The placement bureau, a clearing house for Kansas teaching talent, helped more than 600 experienced and beginning teachers find jobs.

Most of the jobs were in Kansas, but teaching positions were filled across the nation and in several other areas, including Germany,
For instance, there were only 27 foreign language teachers for 625 job openings. Some of the vacancies undoubtedly were filled by teachers from other areas, but Kansas language teachers could pick and choose their position.

Action: Now under Army test, a Ford-designed glass filament torsion bar that's lighter, stronger, more flexible than steel
"Looks like you've got something there," the Army Tank Command said in effect for Ford Motor Company engineers. "Let's do a feasibility study on tracklaying military vehicles."
The story begins in 1957 when Ford engineers conceived the idea of a plastic-bonded glass filament torsion bar for vehicle suspension systems. It was a revolutionary departure from the use of solid steel. It promised dramatic weight savings in battle tanks, in personnel carriers and other military vehicles. For example, as much as 1,000 pounds in medium tanks.
Compared to steel, the tubular-shaped glass filament composition has greater energy storage potential-is stronger and more flexible under heavy load. It may well prove to be the automobile suspension material of tomorrow .cars suspended on glass!
Another example of engineering leadership at Ford and new ideas for the American Road.
