  Pulaski arrived in New York on December 22, 1920 on the White Star liner Olympic. "Count Francis Pulaski, descendant of the General who won glory In the AmerIcan Revolution, arrived here as counsellor of the Polish Legation In Washington, but holds the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary."

  I believe this is (google translation from Polish Wikipedia): "Franciszek Jan Pułaski of the Ślepowron coat of arms (born on March 8, 1875 in Żylińców , died on May 10, 1956 in Paris ) - historian, literary historian, politician and diplomat. Long-term (1926-1956) director of the Polish Library in Paris , program director of Polish Radio ." pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franciszek_Jan_Pu%C5%82aski The biographical details roughly match those in the 1929 NYT article cited by Richard Norton.
