 WRETCHED SHAPE
Civilians Come Out from Caves 1rudge Along
 to Army Camps

WITH U. s. TENTH ARMY, SOUTHERN OKINAWA, June 20.- Wretched Okinawans, many with huge sores on their faces and bodies from two months of cave living, plodded along dusty roads today toward rear area civilian camps apparently oblivious to battles rag ing around them.
 They carried their meager be- longings in small bundles on their backs, or on shoulder yokes. They stopped to drink muddy water from bomb and shell craters, then trudg- ed on.
 Some hollow-eyed women, scan tily covered by ragged clothes, car ried small children tied to their backs with scraps of cloth.
 The Okinawans appeared helpless. One woman approached truck, exhibiting something that looked like a round cake of soap. By signs with her hands, she asked if it was good to eat. A war corres- pondent looked at a package she had. It was labelled TINT" He motioned that she should get rid of it. She tossed the cake away and spit out what she had bitten off.
 Civilians often squated along the highway to rest This procession went on for miles-and it kept coming.

TESTIMONY E
 NEARLY ENDED
 IN POLISH CASE

MOSCOW, June 20. = Testimony apparently absolying StaniSlow Mikola jczyk, former Premier of the London Polish Government, of any connection with the alleged anti Russian operations of the Polish underground was before the military collegium of the Soviet Supreme Court in Moscow today.
 A witness last night at the trial of 16 Polish underground leaders ac- cused of subversive activities testi- fled that Mikolajczyk had been kept in the dark concerning alleged anti Russian operations of the Polish underground army.
 The witness, Yevgeny Charnowski, Chairman of the Polish Union of Democrats, added that when Miko- lajczyk came to Moscow last year for fruitless conversations on the forma- tion of Provisional Polish Govern- ment, underground leaders agreed that he should not be informed of their plans.
 MikolajcZyk now is in Moscow taking part in discussions looking toward the reorganization of the present Provisional Polish Govern ment in Warsaw. Apparently Char nowski's testimony would permit Mikolajczyk' including in broad ened provisional government envis- toned by the Big Three at Yalta.
 It appeared that the trial of the Is underground leaders might end today or tomorrow Most of the tes- timony already has been taken.
