Polish-Jewish circles here today received an underground report from occupied Poland stating that there are at present 150,000 Jews living and working in the ghetto of Lodz, a Polish industrial city.

Of these Jews, the report says, only thirty thousand are from Poland. The remainder have been brought from various other occupied countries. They are all skilled craftsmen who have been collected from all over Europe to work in German war industries, chiefly in textile, leather and clothing plants.
