Three more Soviet Jews arrived in the United States yesterday under the Attorney General’s parole authority. They were Dr. Tzilia Glinberg, 25, who last year received a degree from the Institute of Medicine in Czernovitch, Lithuania, and her parents–Volodiya, a 66-year-old mechanic, and Sima, an employe in a photography laboratory. The immigrants, who arrived at Kennedy International Airport, were aided in their journey by United Hias Service, the international Jewish migration agency.
Also assisting was Lyle Rockler, a cantorial student at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America here. Rockler’s mother and uncle, who died last year in Minneapolis and Boston respectively, were the sister and brother of Mrs. Glinberg, whose family’s visas were delayed by Lithuanian authorities. The new immigrants are staying temporarily at a hotel here.
