A chartered plane from Vienna carrying 42 Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe, aided by the United Hias Service, arrived at Kennedy Airport here. Gaynor I. Jacobson, Hias executive vice-president, said that a total of 123 Hias-aided refugees, mainly from Poland and Czechoslovakia, arrived in the United States on five chartered flights between Dec. 16 and Dec. 20.
The newcomers will be resettled in ten states and the District of Columbia with help from Hias and local agencies. Among the communities of resettlement are Allentown, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Columbus, Denver, Detroit, Ithaca, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Spring Valley, N.Y., Toledo, Trenton, Troy, Washington, D.C. and New York City.
The newcomers included Karol Latowicz, son-in-law of Ida Kaminska, the former head of the Polish State Theater, who arrived here from Poland with her family last month. Mr. Jacobson said that Hias this year will resettle about 6,250 Jewish migrants and refugees in free countries.
