However, Mrs. Wallach still faces the problem of getting a U.S. passport before she can re join her American husband and two children in the United States. Not an American She is not an American. She is a native of Germany. But now. it is understood, she has no citi zenship anywhere. Washington officials recalled that she had been temporarily denied a visa for entry into the United States before. The grounds for this action were not disclosed. Furthermore, they noted that she once was closely associated with Noel and Herta Field, Americans who elected to remain in Hungary rather than return to the United States after being freed from jail in that Communist nation. - "Please do not consider me a martyr or a heroine.
