Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers of America, arrived here last night for a visit during which he will take part in ground-breaking ceremonies for a youth house which will bear his name, to be built in Holon, near here.
Mr. Reuther was met at the airport by Aharon Becker, secretary-general of the Histadrut and other leaders of Israel’s labor federation. During his stay in Israel, Mr. Reuther will meet with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and other Government leaders.
