Several criticism of the propaganda policy of the Polish Ministry of Information was voiced here today at a session of the Polish National Council by Samuel Zygelbaum, one of the two Jewish members of the Council.

The Jewish representative demanded that the broadcasts to the people in Poland, which the Ministry is sending from London in the Polish language, should counteract the anti-Semitic propaganda which the Gestapo is conducting in occupied Poland. He also urged that the broadcasts educate the listeners to understand that a spirit of brotherly relations must prevail among all nationalities living on Polish soil.

Received by Gen. Sikorski, Mr. Zygelbaum outlined to the Polish premier the attitude of the Jewish Socialist Bund Party which he represents. He emphasized that no one can have faith in the democratic declarations of the Polish government as long as the government has in its ranks member who are adherents of the anti-Semitic Endek theories. he asked the Polish premier to take all possible Socialist leaders from Poland who are now imprisoned in Soviet Russia.
