The Federation of Polish Jews in America today voiced its protest at the choice of General Jozef Haller, member of the exiled Polish cabinet, as good-will emissary to this country. General Haller arrived here last Friday on the Rex. The action, in the form of a resolution adopted by the federation’s political committee, was based on the ground that General Haller’s record was one of consistent hostility to the Jews and to democratic ideals.
