40 PLANES ORDERED TO MATCH ARABS
LONDON, (JTA)—Israel has ordered about 40 French Mlrage- 3 jet fighter planes "In view of the need to match Arab aircraft," the Guardian ot Manchester re¬ ported in a dispatch from Tel Aviv.
According to the Guardian's correspondent, military tensions in Israel have "eased noticeably" since Syria broke awAy from the United Arab Republic recently. "The subsequent survival of King Hussein In Jordan, against all the forecasts," the dispatch con¬ tinued, "and the re-assertion of Syria, has convinced the Israeli military authorities that a shift in the balance of power against them can be ruled out for the foreseeable future."

THE SOHOTTENSTEIN state¬ ment continues, "Education of iny sort is expensive, and the type ot education offered by the Torah Academy is especially so." Accord¬ ing to Schottensteln this is be¬ cause of the. designed low enroll ment and the high caliber of in- structor. He said, "(Classes are restricted to low registration so 3ach pupil will have a maximum amount of attention from the :eacher. This makes the cost per ¦5upil with regard to the fixed ind operating costs of the Aca¬ demy relatively very high.
"Since only a highly qualified staff can teach the intensive pro- Tram required in the Academy, salaries for teachers must be high 10 the best people can be attract¬ ed."
