Central European Tension
LONDON, December 15
Tension is growing in Poland’s newly acquired Teschen area, which was ceded from Czechoslovakia, says the Prague correspondent of “The Times.”
Frontier traffic has been stopped, and large Polish troop movements are taking place. Poles are evacuating many factories and removing machines and raw materials to the interior.
Army officers are replacing civil servants, and the treatment of the'' German and Czech minorities is becoming harsher. The Czech Parliament, by 148 votes to 16, granted the Government plenary powers for the next two years, with power to alter the constitution.
