Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, who recently underwent surgery for a cataract at a hospital here, was discharged today and was reported by his physicians to be “feeling better” and to be able to use his affected eye under limitations. He was ordered by his medical advisers to take more rest and to cut down on reading and writing for the time being. However, he was able to confer with his aides concerning governmental problems.

One of Mr. Eshkol’s first acts after his discharge was the dictating of a message of condolence to the widow of the late James G. McDonald, first American envoy to Israel, who died last weekend.
