A Polish government spokesman said an inquiry was under way into how Stanislaw Mikolajczyk leader of the Polish Peasant party fled the country. The informant said reports of the escape were published and his whereabouts were unknown. The probe will determine if frontier guards or security agencies failed to stop the exit and whether foreign aid was involved.
