The 10,000th reparations order placed with German manufacturers by the Israel Purchasing Mission was approved today by the Federal Trade Office here, a governmental agency which sees to it that the terms of the reparations pact as well as prevailing prices and conditions are adhered to.
Some of the orders are for a single product or type of merchandise, while others list in excess of 100 different items. Officials estimate that considerably more than 100,000 articles, many of them in large quantities, have been ordered for reparations delivery in the course of the past 19 months. During that time, cooperation between the Trade Office and the Purchasing Mission has been smooth and efficient.
