short stories - What story is set on planet where time runs faster as one approaches the pole?



short story (or novelette?) read in the 1960s or '70s, likely in an anthology from the 1950's plus or minus: planet where time ran faster as one approached the (north?) pole, and the language used by the characters became more abridged as part of that speed-up - a "war" was going on, perhaps because someone fired a missile over the pole and it came back at themselves?
