Mikolajczyk kept in dark on Polish underground plan
Moscow June 20 The Soviet Supreme Court hears that Stanislaw Mikolajczyk former Polish premier in exile in London was kept uninformed about underground army anti Russian plans. Witness Yevgeny Charnowski, head of the Polish union of Democrats, testified at the trial of sixteen Polish underground leaders accused of subversive activity. He contradicted Okulicki’s denial of involvement and said he learned of such work after talks with Okulicki. The main aim then was opposition to the Lublin movement and to the See MIKOLAJCZYE page 6

MANILA June 20 It appeared unlikely the disorganized Japanese in the Cagayan valley could hold a line against the advancing 37th Ohio infantry division. The Cagayan drive north of Manila is the major windup of the Luzon campaign with Beightler’s forces moving in by air and artillery. The Japanese fled as marines crossed the river and bridged the town, then Yanks advanced toward Tagan 110 miles south of Aparri.
