Israeli Hotels Will Be
Impelled to Reduce Rates
JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Israeli
hotel owners are openly concerned
over the competition given them by
hotels in the liberated Eastern Jer-
usalem area which are offering ac-
commodations at considerably
cheaper prices. It seems that even
after the Arab hotels in Eastern
Jerusalem raised their room rates
by 30 per cent, these rates are still
25 per cent cheaper than the rates
charged by other hotels in Israel.
Economists believe, that there re-
mains for the hotel owners in Is-
rael but one way out, and that is,
to reduce the room rates of all
hotels in the country.
It was announced that hotel own-
ers in Eastern Jerusalem have re-
jected the proposal to join the "As-
sociation of Hotels in Israel." They
stated that they will remain within
their independent framework as
long as the political struggle over
Jerusalem continues. The libera-
tion of Jerusalem made available
4,000 additional rooms for tourists
in Israel.
ters degree, has been developed
by the religious education depart-
ment at Yeshiva University's
Ferkauf graduate school of human-

I. Schiff, department chairman,
said that the rapid growth of Jew-
ish elementary day schools in the
past 20 years had substantially
increased the number of students
entering Jewish day high schools,
which now total 60 in the United
States and Canada, compared with
six in 1945.
Dr. Schiff said that despite this
growth, none of the nation's
Hebrew teachers colleges or uni-
versities had developed programs
for teaching in Jewish high
schools.
