Premier Golda Meir presided as usual today at the regular Cabinet meeting. She was hospitalized Friday and yesterday for what was described as a routine check-up and returned home last night. Her personal physician. Prof. Joseph Rosenfeld of the Beilinson Hospital, said the 71-year-old Mrs. Meir was in good health.

The meeting was devoted mainly to domestic affairs after a foreign policy review by Foreign Minister Abba Eban. One of the problems examined was the threatened strike by communication engineers and technicians, who are working under mobilization orders. Officials said the walkout would mean the suspension of most radio and television broadcasts and a cutting off of connections via cable and telephone with the rest of the world. No work, other than maintenance of normal water and electricity supplies, would be done. The issue is more pay.
