Show Student joins mother after LJB signs bill In a recent article in the " Record American, published in ': Boston, Mass., the following items appeared concerning the wife of a former Springville : Man, Hilton D. Hall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theron Hall of v this city: A stroke of the pen by pres-ident pres-ident Lyndon B. Johnson, yesterday yes-terday made it possible for a 20-year-old student in Rome to join his mother and stepfather in Boston. The President signed a bill permitting Alessandro A. R. Cacace to join his mother, Mrs. Hilton D. Hall, at her home at Brighton, Mass. "I don't know how a mother can express her feelings when she realizes she is going to be reunited with her son," said Mrs. Hall, a native of Persia. Mrs. Hall, 41, who works as a secretary at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wed Hall, 30, in Rome in 1962. Her first husband, Ercole Cacace, an Italian, died in 1951. In addition to Alessandro, they had a daughter, Irina, 18, who also is in Rome, living with her maternal grandmother, grandmo-ther, Mrs. Irina Arnold-Feridy. The grandmother is a native of Russia, and can enter the United States under normal quotas. The girl can enter the United States at any time, because, be-cause, at the time of her mother's mo-ther's remarriage to Hall, she was under 18. The boy, however, was 18 at the time of the marriage. Under Un-der the present quota for Italian Ital-ian immigrants, he would have had to wait eight years before he could join the rest of the family in America. Hall, formerly of Utah, served serv-ed with the Army in Rome. After his marriage and subsequent subse-quent discharge, he came to Boston, where he studied for his master of arts degree at Harvard. He now teaches in Brookline High School. Hall said he interested Sen. Frank E. Moss in the case and the Senator drew up and steered through Congress legislation leg-islation to effect the boy's entrance en-trance into this country. |
