ELBERT D. BROOKS, director of Metro schools, also told board members vesterday more classrooms had to be "split" this school year than last. Brooks said there is a need to combine students at two grade levels in a classroom under one teacher despite the fact the "overall district class load is lower than it was last year." He said some grade levels have grown in size, and because a state law requires a specific teacher-student ratio, classes have been split "in order to stay within the budgeted amount for teachers.

Since the outbreak was detected Sunday, more than 11,000 recruits and workers at the Naval Training Center have been immunized. The stricken sailors were listed in good condition.

Kissinger faces hard-line Arab demands for Israeli territorial withdrawals in his latest journey in sharch of Mideast peace. Arab sources say nis chances for regaining lost momentum for an Arab- Israeli peace conference in Geneva are not good unless he brings guarantees of Israeli withdrawals from all occupied Arab lands truarantees that have not been forthcoming in a year 0f massive rearmament by both sides since the October way. KISSINGER is scheduled to arrive in Cairo today at the start of a new Middle East trip aimed at setting a time and framework for the next round of Arab-Israeli awaited Geneva peace con ference with Israel "is coming shortly." Fahmi just had returned to Cairo from the United States, where he addressed the U.N. General Assembly and conferred with President Ford and Kissinger.

SYRIAN, Jordanian and Israeli government leaders also have visited Washington in recent months for talks with Kissinger. Gloomy predictions by U.S. officials who expect no significant breakthrough are interpreted by the Arabs to mean that Kissinger is not bringing what they want.

At the" same time, Egypt is trying to negotiate with Soviet bloc countries to buy machinery for producing spare parts locally to keep its Soviet equipment in working order, the sources said.

THE REPORTS were officially not confirmed. But the move to buy arms assembly lines is in keeping with Egypt's much-publicized break from total reliance on Soviet equipment and the Arab bloc's new buying power in world markets. The sources are also convinced Egypt is shopping for sophisticated Western weapons such as night sights for tanks, long-range tank guns and air-to-air missiles to cutsomize their Soviet equipment in much the same way ma i israci nas auaptea its military machinery. The Mirage deal, expected to be concluded later this fall, could include the outright sale of a Mirage 111 squadron together with a longer-term agreement for purchasing French technology and machinery for aircraft manufacture, the sources say. The sources said a deal for Allen was killed by a blast in the throat at close range from a 410-gauge shotgun Thursday night at the Kantaeng home.

MRS. KANTAENG told police Allen and another man had kidnaped her Wednesday night, tool her to a park in Santa Ana and raped her. She said she bargained for her release by giving her assailants her telephone number. Allen called her the next night, she said, and told her he was coming to visit her. As he entered the door of the kantaeng home he was felled by the shotgun blast.

Police said they did not believe Mrs. Kantaeng's story in its entirety and the district attorney issued a murder complaint against roo British Lynk combat helicopters and Tiger trainer jets was concluded late last month. SOME OBSERVERS interpreted Egypt's European shopping trips as first steps toward "Westernizing" its armed forces. Others say Egypt simply wants to control its own arms supplies without getting caught in a client relationship with any big power. The sources point out that no new assembly line colud begin operating for a number of years.

"They could need tremendous help from France to get the Mirage industry going," one source said. 'But if France wants the money badly enough, they'll go to all ends i Libyan leader Moammar' Khadafy, Egypt's most troublesome Arab ally, demanded and got back his Mirage squadron in late summer. But Egypt was left with a corps of trained Mirage pilots and technicians. Most insiders here are convinced Egypt has not yet Been supplied with Soviet Mlu23s, leaving its air force of MIGl7sand MIG21s with- out a plane to match Israel's Phantoms and Mirages. LAST APRIL, President Anwar Sadat announced an end to Egypt's 19-year dependence on Soviet arms and said Egypt would begin looking to other sources.

He blamed the USSR for holding back Egypt's plans to attack lsraeu-neld binai by reneging on arms promises. Although military officizls now appear conficent they arc well supplied, indicating Russian resupply shipments have come through, observers point out Egypt cannot count on instant Soviet resupply efforts if another Middle East war breaks out. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmv and armed forces chief of staff Lt. Gen. Abdel Ghany Gamassy are scheduled to visit Moscow in mid-October with 'the apparent aim of healing the Soviet-Egyptian rift and sounding out the Russians on future arms help.

Egypt has actively sought to improve relationships with Soviet bloc countries. Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia use Soviet weaponry bufmanufacture their own spare parts, and sources said they mmight give Egypt short-term supplies of parts and long-term help in the manufacture of snnre Until Winter Comes Winter's cold and winds will soon cause college students to hurry across campus to classes, but meanwhile, two Vanderbilt students toke advantage of a warm autumn day to stroll near the university.
