President Chaim Weizmann today completed his constitutions at Rehovoth with representatives of the various parties in the Israeli Constituent Assembly on the question of forming a new cabinet. He voiced the hope that premier David Ben Gurion, who is now recuperating from a rheumatic attack in Jerusalem, would feel well enough to come to Rehovoth tomorrow to be officially charged with the task of establishing the new government.
Among the last to meet with President Weizmann were Shmuel Mikunis, of the communist Party, Hillel Kook-Bergson and Arieh Ben Eliezer, of the Freedom Party, and ?ehor Shitreet, present Minister for Minorities, representing the Sephardic community.
