The dispute focuses on West Germany's reluctance to comply with the Polish demand that the Oder-Neisse boundary, which ceded one-fourth of prewar Germany to Poland, should be recognized as final (see story, page 35). Also unresolved is the question of the ethnic Germans, believed to number 100,000, who still live in Poland. Polish Foreign Minister Stefan Jedrychowski insists that only those Germans with...
