Winter Seen Affecting
Polish Vote Outcome
BY Tho Asseeiotsd Press

Concern over the Forthcoming
Polish election deepened today
among diplomatic ofYicials as a re-
suit Of plans to run 1t OF in Janu-
ary.
An authority on Polish affairs
said the timing could have q big
effect on the outcome because snow
and severe cold might tend to keen
peasants and those In outlying areas
away from the polls. Poland. q
predominantly agricultural country
never has had winter-time elec-
ton.
No ofIicial word has reached the
State Department ons the date OF
the ballottng. But unofYicial reports
coming In since Ambassador Bliss
Lane arrived home mention the
January decision.
So far as Is known here the Peas
ant Party has not protested the
time.
Oficials say that even though
Poland definitely is under Russia 4
wing, there Is no outward evidence
Of any SoFiet effort to influence the
voting. But they add there Is mo
way Of telling how many Russian
troops are IN Poland and Whether
their presence might become a per-
suader In the election, whether In
tended or not. /
Some OF the concern here flows
back to the fact that a Polish ref
erendum last summer was not run
to suit American tastes. This Gov.
ernment complained in note al
the time that ballot boxes were re.
moved from polling places and
counted elsewhere
