For the first time in four years two Jews have received Egyptian royal decorations, it was reported here in a Cairo despatch.
The two who appeared on the King’s Honor List are: Emanuel Mizrachi Pasha, legal advisor to the Administrator of the Royal Private Estates, and Prof. Jacob Bitschai, Professor of Urology at the Ibrahim University, who was also honored recently with a Papal decoration. Both men were made officers of the Order of the Nile.
