A three-man delegation of the Histadrut, Israel’s Federation of Labor, was welcomed today by Mayor Vincent Impellitteri at a special ceremony at City Hall. The delegation is composed of Joseph Almogi, secretary of the Histadrut’s Haifa Labor Council; Moshe Beitan, member of the Histadrut executive, and Nachman Tamir, cultural director of Histadrut. The Israelis arrived in the United States this week to aid the $10,000,000 Israel Histadrut Campaign conducted by the National Committee for Labor Israel.
(From London it was reported today that a Histadrut delegation is due to arrive there next week as guests of the British Government. The laborites, who were invited by the Foreign Office, will study social conditions in Britain and will confer with government labor officials and trade union leaders.)
