Forty Jews have been accepted as railway engineers for service in the Far East, it was announced today by the railway authorities.
The announcement was accompanied by an appeal that special attention be given to training Jewish apprentices for railway work since this field was entirely new to Jews, who had been barred from it in the Czarist regime.
