ABS>The wavelength dependence of linear polarization from the magnetic white dwarf Grw +70 deg 8247 is investigated. The gray-body magnetoemissive linear polarization is corrected for radiative transfer by the use of a model white-dwarf atmosphere. The wavelength dependence found by this method does not fit the wavelength dependence of the observed linear polarization. Also the wavelength dependence of the circular polarization from Grw +70 deg 8247 is reexamined in the light of new observations. (auth)
