Polish-American citizens here today criticized Edna Ferber, novelist, for a “vicious, boorish, invidious and churlish” manner of writing as exhibited in her book, “Come and Get It.”

The resolution attacked Miss Ferber for her treatment of Polish characters and for using the name of Pulaski, Polish patriot who fought in the American Revolution.
