Prime Minister David Ben Gurion was scheduled today to enter a hospital here tomorrow for a routine check-up. After the hospital examination, he is expected to complete his interrupted vacation, resting for another week and, presumably, preparing for participation in the coming elections campaign.

The Premier received today Israel’s Ambassador-designate to Washington, Avraham Harman. Mr. Harman is leaving for his post on Sunday. No successor to Mr. Harman, who headed the Information Department of the Jewish Agency, has as yet been chosen, but Israel’s former Ambassador to France, Yaacov Tsur, is the most likely candidate.
