The Polish authorities will give sympathetic consideration to the request of any Jews who want to leave Poland to be reunited with members of their family or who want to go to the Jewish State for spiritual reasons, Z. Wolniak, the new Polish Minister to Israel, declared here last night.
Mr. Wolniak made his remarks at a reception given in his honor by the Israel-Polish Friendship League. The Minister also said that Jews helped build up the new Poland. He was welcomed to Israel on behalf of the League by Anselm Reiss, president of the group and a member of the Israel executive of the World Jewish Congress.
