In Polish Parliament
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

l
WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 29.-Left-
lists remodeled Stanislaw Mikolaj-
czyk's Polish Peasant Party today
thus ending political opposition to
the Communist bloc parties in Po-
lands Parliament.
This ection came as Premier Josef
Cyrankiewicz told Parliament that
frontier guards had prevented 35,-
900 persons from illegally leaving the
country this year but that Mr.. Miko-
lajczyk had managed to flee.
The newly organized Executive
Committee of the Polish Peasant
Party stripped five of Mr.. Miko-
lajczyk's closest adherents of their
right to represent peasants in
Parliament. They are Stanislaw
Banczyk. Stanislaw Wojcik, Fran
ciszka Wojcicki, Tadheusz Nowak
and Kazimierz Nadobnik. Banzcyk
was vice president of the party and
Wojeik was secretary general The
vacancies were filled by Leftists.
Escapes Not Explained.

leadership in Parliament with for
mer Education Minister Czeslaw
Wycech slated to become the chief
spokesman for 26 Deputies.
The Premier said nothing to
clarity how Mr.. Mikolaj jczyk had
made his way out Of the country or
his present whereabouts.

lation in some quarters that Mr..

pretended while attempting to cross
the border. The opposition leader,
who apparently fed Poland in fear
of his life, had not been definitely
located since he dropped out of

seven friends. There have been
unconflrmed reports that he already

Mr.. Mikola jczyk fed after all his
hopes of foreign Intervention" in
Poland had vanished. Mr.. Miko-
lajczyk had "isolaed himself from
the Polish people," the Premier of
Poland's Soviet-supported govern
ment added.
Mr.. Cyrankiewicz also told Par
Lament that Mr.. Mikolaj jczyk's exit
from the Polish political scene would
clear the atmosphere and promote
the efforts of what he described
as the democratic parties" In striv-
ing for peace and prosperity for
the Polish people.
Earlier the governmentscontrolled
press predicted that Poland was
headed for long period of pros
perity because Mr.. Mikola jczyk had
gone away.
During a long discussion at the
opening session of Parliament of
1he Nations internal and interna-
tional position, the Premier referred
TO coal, eggs, fish and another
article - Mikolajczyk" as being
among Poland's major exports.
