"The importance to. Israel of

Mr. Fischbach said, "for if Israel
is to develop her agriculture, her
industry and her_bverall econ-
omy she must have the techni-
cal guidance which can come
only from graduate engineers."
Mr:Fischbach cited the world-
wide shortage Of engineers as
the reason why Israel cannot
hope to import qualified experts.
"Also," he said, "Israel is not in
position financially to send stu-
dents abroad for technological
training. Consequently, she must
develop her own engineers to
provide for urgently needed
leadership in the broad field of
technology."
