Poznan. Poland '? Thou
sands of Catholic Poles marched
in silence through the streets
of Poznan today on the first
anniversary of the Poznan up
r sing lr.nl shook the Commu
nist world.
It was a mute tribute to th
75 men. women and children
who died in rioting against Po
land s Stalinist leaders riotin?
which led in time to rebellion
in Hungary.
Return of Leader
Riots in this West Poland in
dustrial city touched off a train
of events which saw the return
to power of Communist leader
Wladyslaw Gomulka and the
freeing from prison of Stefan
Cardinal Wyszynsky.
There were reports, but no
confirmation, that the Catholic
primate himself might lead the
procession or take part in the
religious rites at the Church of
St. Vojczck, several miles from
the heart of the city.
The streets were decked with
flags and garlands for today s
religious ceremonies led by the
members of the Catholic hier
archy in the silent parade from
St. Oominicus church, near the
town hall gt St. Vojczek.
Pmei Red Square
The route of the procession
leads past Red Army Square
where the rebellion started.
Today was not a public holi
day in Poznan, but workers
were given permission to attend
both the state and church cere
monies this morning. Few were
expected to return to work in
the aftrrnoon.
Polish authorities banned the
Hale of liquor in hopes of pre
venting outbreaks of trouble
Nightclubs and '"inappropriate '
movies also were closed.

One of Miller's
Convictions Dropped
Washington 'W A federal
judge today reaffirmed one of
his contempt of Congress find
ings against Playwright Arthur
Miller, but set aside a second
count.
Miller had been convicted by
Judge Charles F. McLaughlin
May 31 on two counts.
Today McLaughlin set aside
the guilty verdict on the second
count on the basis of a recent
Supreme Court ruling in a simi
lar cae.
Miller has not yet been sen
tenced. But affirmation of one of the
two findings still makes him sub
ject to a maximum penalty of
$1,000 fine and one year in
jail.

France; the Shetland pony from
the Shetland islands off the
