President Signs Bill
to Reunite Father, Son
Apart for 19 Years

WASHINGTON, ( J T A ) —
President-Eisenhower has sign-
ed a special bill adopted by
Congress to enable an Israeli
and his aged father to be re-
united in this country.
Samuel Levenstein, of Hill-
side, N. J., came to this country
shortly after the end 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 invaded.
Harry could not, under existing
laws, be admitted to the United
States because he has a tubercu-
lar condition.
Recently, congresswoman
Florence P. Dwyer, of Elizabeth,
N. J., the district in which the
elder Levenstein lives, introduc-
ed in Congress a special bill
lifting the ban against Harry
Levenstein's admission as an im-
migrant. Now that President
Eisenhower has signed the bill,
the son is expected to arrive
from Israel to be reunited with
his father.

asking for negotiations on Is-
rael's claim. The note cited Bul-
garia's statement during the
hearing before the International
Court of Justice that Bulgaria
was willing to negotiate. The
court ruled earlier this year in
support of Bulgaria's claim that
the court lacked jurisdiction in
the case.
Israel has demanded $2,600,-
000 for the plane and for sur-
vivors of the 58 victims but Bul-
garia has refused to pay for
the aircraft, contending that
since the plane entered Bul-
garian air space El Al shared
responsibility for the disaster.
Bulgaria has offered compensa-
tions to relatives of the victims
but only as a gesture of gen-
erosity and not as a duty.

KARLSRUHE, Germany,
(JTA)—The Federal Supreme
Court, West Germany's highest
tribunal, knocked down the doc-
trine that Nazis guilty of bru-
tality under the Hitler regime
had "acted under duress."
In a Supreme Court decision
seen here as establishing a
highly significant precedent,
the court ordered the retrial of
two ex-members of the Gestapo
who were shown leniency at a
trial in Wiesbaden, two years
ago, when a lower court ac-
cepted their pleas of "duress."
In the Wiesbaden trial, one
of the men, ex-Gestapo officer
Heinrich Lorenz, was acquitted.
The second, Waldemar Eisfeld,
received a two-and-a-half-year
prison sentence. Both were ac,
cused of aiding the deportation
of elderly Jews from Wiesbaden
during World War II. Reject-
ing their claims of duress, the
High Court maintained that
"duress could be claimed only
if the individual's own life had
been in danger." The court held
that the Gestapo was a "terror
organization" aiming at quash-
ing anti-Nazi resistance, and
that Gestapo officers engaging,
in brutality were "solely respon-
sible for their acts."
