Two huge protest meetings against the U.S. policy of arming the Arab states while they refuse to negotiate peace with Israel will be held here tomorrow. One has been arranged by the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, in which all Zionist groups are represented and will be held at the Commodore Hotel. The other is sponsored jointly by the Jewish Labor Committee and the Trade Union Council for Israel, and will take place at the Hotel Biltmore. Speakers at the latter will include George Meany, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Walter Reuther, C.I.O. president.
Four labor conferences, at which the American labor movement will make known its concern over increased Middle East tension and at which United States policy in arming Arab states will be surveyed, have also been called for this week in Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and Pittsburgh through the Joint efforts of the Jewish Labor Committee and the Trade Union Council for Israel.
