LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The
financial crisis of Hebrew day
schools in this city will be eased
following authorization by the Jew-
ish Federation-Council to lend up
to $150,000 in interest-free loans
to help meet the schools' emer-
gency obligations, Albert A. Spie-
gel, JFC president, has announced.
Current debts of the schools
range from $20,000 to $41,000.
Many of the schools face closing
because of increased operating
costs, higher teacher salaries and
the inability of some students to
pay full tuition fees, Spiegel said.
A special JFC committee headed
by Lawrence E. Irell, vice presi-
dent, undertook a study which re-
suited in a recommendation that
the loans be made immediately.
Following the granting of the
emergency loans, JFC will under-
take a detailed examination over
the next six months to help de-
termine long-range solutions.
Of the seven Hebrew day schools
operating within Greater Los An-
geles, four are confronted with
major financial problems.
At present, many Hebrew schools
are recipients of financial support
from the federation's bureau of
Jewish Education through a form-
ula geared to teachers' salaries.
All allocations, which are granted
by the JFC board of directors from
the annual United Jewish Welfare
Fund campaign, are earmarked
for Hebrew and Jewish studies. No
subsidies are given for general
(non-Jewish) studies.
