• WASHINGTON (JTA)—Pres-
ident Eisenhower has signed a
special bill adopted by Congress
to enable an Israeli and his
aged father to be reunited in
this country.
Samuel Levenstein, of Hill-

shortly after the conclusion of
World War II. He has a son,
Harry P. Levenstein, 30, now
living in Israel. Father and son
have not seen each other for 19
years since both left their home
in Poland when the Nazis in-
vaded that country. The son
could not, under existing laws,
be admitted to the United
States because he has a tuberc-

the elder Leveristein lives, in-
