Highest officials of the Mexican Government, led by President Adolfo Lopez Mateo, today attended the dedication of a new Industrial School building, completely equipped, donated to the State of Estado de Mexico by Elias Sourasky, prominent banker and well-known Zionist leader here. Others participating in the ceremonies, in addition to the President, were Minister of Education Jaime Torres Bodet, and Mordechai Schneersohn, Israel Ambassador to Mexico.
Mr. Sourasky established a mortgage bank in Israel several years ago; created scholarships to the Hebrew University at Jerusalem; and is a staunch supporter of Hebrew educational institutions in this country.
