Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel’s Foreign Minister, who was taken to Beilinson hospital Friday suffering from severe fatigue, will be released tomorrow and depart on her Latin American tour Tuesday as originally scheduled, it was announced today.

Hospital officials decided to have her remain in the hospital when a medical check-up indicated the extreme tiredness. Mrs. Meir was forced to cancel a speech to a Mapai meeting and an appearance at a special reception at the Mexican legation. Doctors blamed a particularly hectic two weeks, as Mrs. Meir rushed to wind up affairs in preparation for her tour, for the fatigue.
