The State Department said today it was not accepting any requests for personal contacts with persons in Poland through Vice-Consul Thaddeus Chylinski in Warsaw at this time. An official explained that the department was swamped with such requests and that conditions in Poland were still too chaotic to permit of their satisfaction.

(A Paris dispatch Oct. 11 quoted Ambassador Biddle as stating that Americans desiring to locate relatives in Poland could do so through the State Department which would pass the inquiries on to Vice-Consul Chylinski, who had remained in Warsaw to be helpful during the occupation period to Americans or to people in whom Americans were interested.)
