Three Polish Jewish leaders who arrived here Sunday on the United States liner Manhattan with tourist visas were ordered excluded yesterday by officials at Ellis Island and the case has been appealed to the Labor Department in Washington. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, which is acting in behalf of the three, was advised by its Washington office today that action was expected within a few days. The Jewish leaders are Dr. Arjeh Tartakower, Dr. Jakob Apenszlak and Dr. Leib Wulman.
