Extreme Orthodox elements in Britain have protested to British Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie against the scheduled visit here of Israel Minister of Labor Golda Myerson, it was learned today.
The Orthodox elements have initiated a campaign against Mrs. Myerson because it is her Ministry which is charged with administration of the Israel law drafting Orthodox women for non-military service. Mrs. Myerson is scheduled to come here toward the end of this month to participate in the formal opening of the 1954 Joint Palestine Appeal campaign.
