Polish Jews Fear
Emigration Curb
NEW YORK (JTA)—Jews in
Poland who are planning to
leave for Israel were reported
to be fearful that the Polish
government may "drastically"
modify its liberal policy of per-
mitting Jewish emigratipn from
the country.
Their fear, the New York
Times reported in a Warsaw
dispatch, is based on the fact
that Polish authorities have
opened an investigation of the
Passport Office and also be-
cause of an article which ap-
peared in Trybuna Ludu.
Trybuna Ludu, organ of . the
central committee of the United
Workers (Communist) Party,
said Jews who felt stronger
links to Israel than to Poland
"have the right to emigrate."
But, the paper added: "One
must also remember that de-
parture en masse of Polish
Jews could be utilized by
circles unfriendly to Poland to
undermine its good name."
The paper conceded that
anti-Semitism had continued to
increase despite a stepped-up
campaign by the party's leader-
ship to halt discrimination
against all • minority groups,
particularly the Jews.
Trybuna Ludu disclosed that
the Communist Party secretariat
had sent a letter to party . or-
ganizations "summoning all
members to struggle against all
symptoms of nationalism, chau-
vinism and racialism" in Poland.
