Neils Francis Rebholz, a 16 month old boy born in Rome to a father who left the U S at 19, departs from New York on a plane to Copenhagen with Miss Dee Rosner as guardian. The case hinges on the 1940 Enemy Act which denies citizenship to children born abroad when the parent did not meet U S residency.
