A demand for the legalization of the Agudas Israel orthodox organization in Poland was made here today by leaders of the organization in America during a conference with the delegation of the Central Committee of Polish Jews, which is now visiting this country under the leadership of its president, Dr. Emil Sommerstein.

The Agudas Israel leaders pointed out that their organization was one of the most influential Jewish bodies in pre-war Poland. They emphasized that the stand of the World Agudas Israel Organization towards the present Polish Government will be determined by the attitude of the Polish authorities towards organized Jewish orthodoxy in that country.
