ELECTIONS IN POLAND
FIRST UNDER NEW LAW SETBACK FOR GOVERNMENT WARSAW, Dec. 19. Provisional results in the municipal elections in 52 towns and cities, in which oppositionists participated, show substantial opposition gains at the expense of the Government national unity camp, which obtained under 25 per cent, of the votes in most centres except Warsaw. The anti-Government majorities were formed by Socialist and Jew combinations. The elections were the first under the new electoral law, which is more democratic. Opposition supporters who boycotted the parliamentary elections now claim that the results of the municipal elections represent a national plebiscite whereby the Government has been defeated.
