The National Committee for Labor Israel is establishing a $50,000 scholarship fund for needy students in Histadrut vocational schools in Israel, to be named after the late Isaac Hamlin, founder and first national secretary of the Committee. Mr. Hamlin died at Tel Aviv last month.
The scholarship announcement was made last night, at a memorial meeting here honoring the late Mr. Hamlin, by Dr. Sol Stein, executive director of the committee. The principal speaker at the meeting, attended by 300 persons, was Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, chief United States delegate to the United Nations, who eulogized the late Mr. Hamlin.
