A medical clinic in Israel will be built by Kupat Holim in the name of Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York, with the aid of funds raised by New York civil service employees. The project was announced today at a luncheon under the chairmanship of Commissioner of Labor Nelson Seitel, who has become chairman of the civil service committee for the Histadrut campaign. Mr. Seitel took over the chairmanship from the former Commissioner of Labor, Joseph O’Grady.
Dr. Dov Biegun, national secretary of the Histadrut campaign, presented Commissioner O’Grady with a silver-bound Bible, published in Israel, in recognition of his services on behalf of the Histadrut campaign. In his acceptance speech, Mayor Wagner recalled his trip to Israel last year and expressed admiration for the work of the Histadrut.
