POLISH LEADER
 FLIES
Escaped from Warsaw Two Weeks Ago = Finally
 Reaches Sanctuary
By ALEX SINGLETON

LONDON, Nov. 5.-tRS-Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, the Polish opposition leader who flew from Warsaw two weeks ago, has made his way to Britain by plane, a Foreign Office official notified a cheering House Of Commons today. The British government has promised Mikola- jczyk sanctuary.
 Christopher Mayhew, Undersecre- lary of State for Foreign Affairs, said the plane carrying the 4o- year-oid leader of the Polish Peas ant party had landed at Mansion Airfield, southeast of London in Kent County. There was no inn mediate indication as to the na- ticnality or the type of aircraft in which Mikolajczyk arrived in London.
 Mikolajczyk's whereabouts re- mained a mystery until today.
 Apparently he fled Poland in fear of his life. Since his de- parture from his homeland with a party of seven friends, his Pol ish Peasant party has been re- modelled along lines favorable to Poland's Communicated govern ment. Informants in Warsaw have declared that Mikolajczyk's depart ure meant the end to organized political opposition to the present Polish regime.
 A Polish Foreign Ministry spokes- man a .lounced in Warsaw today that a special Polish parliamentary commission vas investigating the surrounding Mikola- i2cyk's flight.

 Suggestions by the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers in Washington for new credit curbs, and possibly some new form of price control to curb imitation was said by traders to have had some effect of wheat prices as did the weather bureau predictions for rain in the winter wheat belt. Butter edged upward l cent pound for some grades, with 93 score quoted at 76i9 cents a pound at Chicago. Egg prices were un- charged. Poultry was unchanged to i cent lower.
