Six Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union, comprising three family units, arrived at Kennedy International Airport this afternoon, according to the United Hias Service, which aided in their migration. All of the arrivals entered this country under the US Attorney General’s parole authority. The migrants will be helped in their resettlement by the New York Association for New Americans. Among those arriving were: Mr. and Mrs. Ignatz Goldglantz and their 16-year-old daughter from Chust, Josef Tzik, 22, also of Chust, and Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Apelrand from Kishinev.

Hias officials previously reported that 15 Jewish immigrants, comprising seven family units from Russia and Poland, arrived at Kennedy Airport yesterday on a flight from Rome. The officials said four of the family units would be resettled in the Greater New York area. The others were flown to Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia, where they will make their homes.

The newcomers arriving yesterday; Hias said, included Chaim and Lenke Srulowicz and their son Shimon, 22, and daughter Gizela, 19, from Neresnica in the Soviet Union. They are being reunited with Srulowicz’s brother in Cleveland. The family entered the United States through the US Attorney General’s parole authority, Hias reported.

Michail Schneider, 23, from Riga is joining his parents and sister Maya, who arrived approximately two weeks ago. Schneider, who worked as an engineer in the Soviet Union, will live in Brooklyn with his family, Hias said.

Among the others who arrived here yesterday, Hias reported, are: Mrs. Franciska Stroz from Poland, who will be reunited with her son and daughter in Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Kalman

Goldberg from the Soviet Union, who will join Goldberg’s sister in New York City; Mr. and Mrs. Henry K. Winograd from Poland, who were greeted by their two sons from Queens; the Hirszons, a brother and sister from Poland who will make their new home in Philadelphia; and Mr. and Mrs. Henryk Rozenbaum and their son from Poland, who were reunited with Rozenbaum’s cousins in Brooklyn. All these families entered the US under regular visa procedures. United Hias and local Jewish community groups are aiding in the resettlement procedures.
