United States Army headquarters here today granted Constantine Poules, correspondent of the Overseas News Agency who was expelled from Palestine on Oct. 23, a re-entry permit, following refusal of the British authorities in the Middle East to offer a satisfactory explanation for their request two weeks ago that Poulos be expelled.
