The United States Immigration and Naturalization Service has dropped its deportation proceedings against Haim Menachem Frenkel, the 25-year-old Israeli who was arrested Last November on charges of working in violation of his student visa.
The arrest followed an anonymous telephone tip to the Service that he had dropped out of school and was working, after it became known that he was planning to marry a non-Jewish girl. His mother had come here from Israel in a vain effort to dissuade him from the marriage. Frenkel and the girl, Dianne Brandon, from England, were married after the Israeli was released from jail, four days after his arrest when a New Jersey manufacturer posted a $1,000 bond. They were married by a rabbi and Miss Brandon pledged that she would embrace Judaism and raise any children in the Jewish faith.
The Naturalization Service announced yesterday that it was adjusting Frenkel’s status to the British quota as the husband of a British subject and opening the way for him to become an American citizen.
