Israel Govt. Studies Ways
to Aid Foreign Students
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The cabi-
net has decided to take measures
to expand facilities for foreign
students at Israel's institutions of
higher learning. The matter will
be studigd by Deputy Minister Yi-
gal Alldn, who is also minister' of
immigrant absorption.
All universities and many paro-
chial schools in Israel receive gov-
ernment subsidies. However, they
claim to be unable to accommo-
date more than 5.000 overseas stu-
dents presently in the country.
The problem which Alton , will
undertake to solve involves hous-
ing shortages, the need for special
Hebrew classes for foreigners and
a broadening of various activities
and facilities which are not necys-
sary to the majority of Israeli stu-
dents who live at home.
