20-Judge Conway H. Sheild Jr. of the 14th Judicial Circuit, has been named to hear a case in the Circuit Court of Middlesex involving a property (line dispute between a Church and a Bank. The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals designated Judge Sheild after Judge Lewis Jones of Urbanna disqualified himself in the case. The Urbanna Methodist Church filed a suit in the Middlesex County Circuit Court here last Fall, in an effort to settle the dispute over the line between its property and that of the Middlesex County Bank of Urbanna.

Property was donated to the Church in 1901 by the Middlesex Bank but through the years the four markers which once designated the boundaries, have disappeared. Street improvements have been made since on two sides of the property and the exact line cannot now be agreed upon. The Church contends that part of the sidewalk erected between the Church and the Bank when the Bank built an addition recently, is on the Church property. The Bank believes that both the sidewalk and part of an annex which the Church built, tends across part of the Bank's property. The Church says the property is needed for planned expansion of its building.

An Israeli government official confirmed conditionally that Israel might be satisfied with U.N. police force troops stationed at Sharm el Sheikh and along the west coast of the Gulf of Aqaba to permit Israeli ships passage in the gulf. The condition was that U.N. units must be given a clear mandate from the U.N. General Assembly to prevent resumption of an Egyptian blockade.

An informant said the Israeli government envisages continuing the present Israeli administration in the Gaza area "with over-all relationship to the U.N." The Israelis were said to feel that the accent is on the word administration.

Secret police in Kwantung Province coastal areas south of the Nationalist bastion of Formosa uncovered enough guns and ammunition to supply a small-scale revolt, the papers said. About 600 rifles, 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 600 hand grenades, along with a few machine guns, were seized in the Kwangtung cities of Swatow and Fatshan. Secret police unearthed many anti-Communist plotters in Shanghai, said the official Hsin Wen Daily News, after "reactionary slogans" were found plastered on walls throughout the city. While asserting that anti-Red subversion was on the wane, the Communist newspapers disclosed hitherto undivulged cases of sabotage and even the murder of minor officials. 'Unusual' Operation On Heart Saves Life WINSTON N.

Jan. 20 (P -A Virginia youth accidentally shot 13 days ago at his home is alive today because the slug which tore through a main artery near his heart also cut a hole in a nearby vein. The story of an "unusual" fivehour operation on Jan. 11 was revealed today by one of a team of surgeons who operated on the boy at Baptist Hospital here. Donald Chafin, 13, of Route 1, Castlewood, in Russell County, was brought to the hospital Jan.

The surgeon said that similar Polish Continued From Page One the list in the secrecy of the pollbooths, they were in a minority. That meant Gomulka's United Workers Communist--p art the which controls 273 of the 425 seats in the present Parliament, will continue to run things. Among the total of 722 candidates- -Communists, Democrats and United Peasants--the Communists will come out with the lion's share.

Final, official results are expected by Tuesday. The list in each district was topped by Communists. Then came United Peasant and Democratic candidates. In one district, for instance, 10 men might be running for five seats. If a voter simply dropped the ballot in the box the men the National Front listed in the first five places got the jobs automatically.

But voters had the right in this election to pencil out the names of any candidates they did not want to represent them. Gomulka had warned against that, fearing the fellow-travelers might make such gains through cancellation of Communist names as to embarrass his party and prompt reprisal moves from the Soviet Union. However, both the Democrats and the United Peasants are pledged, like the Communists, to his policies. The Russians were watching. So was the West.

The outside world was represented by 114 newsmen from 22 nations. The roster included 15 from the United States. The newsmen carried cards which permitted them to visit the polling stations. (In Moscow, Soviet propagandlists paved the way early for possible Communist reverses. Commentaries accentuated the negative.

Hours before any results were known, the Soviet press and radio started chorusing "foul." Pravda and Izvestia charged reactionary elements, demagogues and troublemakers tried to intimidate Poland's voters to strike off Communist candidates and provoke anarchy.) Gomulka had laid his case before Poland's, voters in a campaign rebroadcast by Radio Warsaw every hour on election eve. "Listen to the voice of reason!" he pleaded. "Enemies of socialism- trying to push Poland into the abyss of chaos and anarchy. To cross out the names of our party means crossing out the independence of our country and crossing Poland off the map of The 51-year-old Communist boss and his wife walked 300 yards this morning from their home to a polling station and cast their ballots without going into the curtained booth. "I'm doing what every citizen should do," he said.

But at the same polling station an old woman took her ballot from the clerk, crossed out three names and dropped it in the box without bothering to go into the booth. In the barrack-like university hostel west of the Vistula River, students lined up to vote in a peted common room. The chairman of the Electrocal Commission there said that in the early hours most students voted the list. Later, as the number of voters increased, nine out of 10 went into the booth. Poznan, center of the June.

freedom riots which sped the end of Stalinism in' Poland, voted calmly. A check in one station showed six out of 10 persons used the booth to choose six candidates from a 10-man list. In Lodz and Lublin, both viewed by the Communist leadership as potential trouble spots, the day passed quietly. Lodz, a dilapidated textile town stalked by fears of unemployment reported a heavy turnout. In Lublin, where the front purged former Socialist Premier Edward Osobka Morawski from the list of candidates, 85 per cent of the total vote was expected to indorse the revised list.

Similar reports came from Krakow, a university city where Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz had to fight hard against undercurrents of criticism, and -Stettin--the Baltic port where riotes wrecked the Soviet consulate last month. In villages of southern and central Poland, priests led their congregations to the polls to help vote the Communists home. Poland is a nation more than 90 per cent Roman Catholic, and an appeal from the episcopate for all members of the church to vote killed off a potential boycott campaign. The election, though far from Western ideas of democracy, was a marked contrast with the rubber stamp voting of 1952. If current policies in Poland are continued, Parliament will emerge as a real influence on the administration if not on policy-making, which is still in the hands of the Famed Sea Story Connolly Succumbs At 88 BOSTON, Jan.

20 (P- -James B. Connolly, 88, internationally known author of sea stories who brought America its first Olympic title, died today at Jamaica Plain Veteran's' Hospital. Connolly won the hop, step, and jump with a leap of 45 when the Olympic games were revived at Athens, in 1896 after a lapse of 15 centuries. Connolly, a Harvard freshman at the time, joined a small group of athletes who paid their own way to the games. Upon his return to this country he took up newspaper work, later joining the staff of the Boston Post and writing special articles for the Boston Globe.

He became a widely read author of sea stories, including "Out of Gloucester;" "'The U-Boat Hunters;" Men, and "The Coaster Captain." He ran for Congress on the "Bull Moose" ticket in 1912, but was drafted by James M. Curley, who later became mayor of Boston and governor of the state. Connolly was appointed by Curley in 1949 to supervise Boston's censorship of objectionable books. He served in the Spanish American War with the 9th Massachusetts Infantry.

20 P) The U. S. Embassy announced today the United States has agreed to Japan's 1957 fiscal year defense budget. A joint statement issued by the embassy and the Foreign Office did not disclose the budget figures agreed upom. The defense budget proposed by Japan is reportedly equivalent to $391,834,700, with the main issue the proposed deferment of a 10,000 man army increase for one year until fiscal 1958.

The budget proposes $1,111,111 more than the current year's defense outlay. Under the Japanese plan, the navy would be expanded by 5,345 tons and the air force boosted by two wings.

Sparkman (D-Ala) said today the Democrats must revise their strategy to take into account the possibility some southern states will go Republican in future elections. "I think the South is going to remain predominantly Democratic," he said in an interview. "But the time seems to have arrived when the party no longer can count on a solid block of strength in the South and must revise its strategy accordingly." Sparkman, the 1952 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, disputed the contention of former Sen. Herbert H. Lehman of New York Democratic congressional leaders were responsible for Adlai E.

Stevenson's defeat in last year's presidential race because they soft-pedalled civil rights and other controversial issues. "The single element which contributed most to our defeat was the personal popularity of President the Alabama senator said. "Civil rights is a political football, kicked around by both parties, and I doubt that it had much to do with the outcome of the election." Sen. Douglas (D-Ill) said he agrees with much of what Lehman said in a New York City speech last week about the shaping of party policy by congressional leaders. Lehman said the Democrats were predominantly "liberal" and ought to break away from conservative and southern elements.

Pole Elections May Bring New Red Outbreaks WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (PRep. Hillings (R-Calif) said today the Polish elections may inspire antiCommunist outbreaks similar to those in Hungary. He suggested this possibility may be holding up administration plans to propose a refugee law. Hillings was asked in an ABCTV interview "Celebrity recommendations the administration likely would make for new laws to provide for handling of Iron Curtain refugees.

He replied it was difficult to draft a firm refugee program now because of the situation in Poland. Hillings said there is some reason to believe the Poles will feel today's elections were "faked." As a result, he said, "there may be some recurrence" of the sort of open revolt that flared in Hungary last fall. Polish voters were given a limited chance to demonstrate any discontent with the candidates endorsed by the Communist party. Hillings said that once the administration recommends a refugee program to Congress, he expects it will call for the admission of about 55,000 refugees. He said "perhaps would come from Hungary.

The United States is continuing to admit some Hungarians on "parole" status pending formal action by Congress to set up a program.

wounds have caused death due to excessive internal bleeding. Fortunately for Donald, however, the slug continued on, cutting a hole in a vein behind the damaged artery. Because arteries carry blood at higher pressure than veins, internal bleeding was minimized when blood from the punctured artery flowed into the vein. The problem of time faced the operating surgeons. Patching up the artery and vein meant that blood flow to the upper part of Donald's body and to his brain would have to be cut off long enough for the holes to be sewed up.

Stoppage of the brain's oxygen supply, carried by the blood stream in the arteries, means damage to sensitive brain tissue after three or four minutes. To provide more time for the surgeons to work, Donald's body temperature was lowered from its normal 98.6 degrees to a cool 86 by about 90 minutes of immersion in an ice bath. With the lowering of body temperature, meaning less oygen needed for the brain, the surgeons were able to operate with time to sew up the damaged blood vessels. The operation took five hours; the whole procedure from beginning to end, including the ice bath, seven hours. The surgeon described the operation as unusual only as it concerned the location of the wound.

He added that he had not been able to find any previous cases where the artery and vein involved had been pierced in the manner and location of Donald's wound. Today, although still a patient at Baptist Hospital, Donald is "up and about," said the physician, and should be able to go home. "in about a week." Red Continued From Page One press. Their revolt against Stalinism last summer grew bolder until the climax of the October uprising. The Soviet-supported regime of Premier Janos Kadar, which ousted Imre Nagy as premier, blamed the writers for a big share in beginning the revolt.

The Hungarian press told of the arrests of a railway fireman and two train guards in a fugitive smuggling ring. This was coupled with a government campaign to try to lure back nearly 200,000 refugees who have fled to escape Russian rule. The refugees have been told there is an amnesty until March 31 during which they will not be punished and they can even bring back their property without paying duty. (In Vienna, the Austrian Interior Ministry announced that 30 Hungarian soldiers, firing machine guns, invaded Austrian territory Sunday in pursuit of refugees. The Austrian press agency said about 20 refugees were forced turn back and the Soldiers departed, leaving one wounded comrade behind.

(In Belgrade, the Yugoslavs pleaded urgently for financial help to take care of a heavy increase in Hungarian refugees. The increase apparently stemmed from tightened controls along the Austrian frontier. Over the 24 hours ending Sunday morning Yugoslavia received nearly twice many refugees as Austria-684 256.) People, who still want to leave, and there are thousands of them, say that rough border guards are making the Austrian freedom frontier less attractive. Many are looking now toward Yugoslavia. Almost daily broadcasts from radio Budapest told of new executions and long prison sentences against a theme hardly conducive to refugees to return.

"Tonight Budapest radio announced two more executions alleged "counter They were two youths hanged western Hungary on charges killing a policeman. The government newspaper Nepszabadsag printed three ticles on the theme that crossing the border is dangerous, little help is to be expected on the er side and a large proportion refugees who have already gone now want to return home.

After Saud's departure, the Egyptian government announced the four had agreed to reject the "vacuum theory" in the Middle East; that they resolved "never to allow their countries to become a sphere of influence for any foreign power." The announcement added: "They unanimously agreed that King Saud should express this opinion during his visit to Washington." Saud, Nasser and Assali also agreed to give Jordan 36 million dollars a year for 10 years to replace the subsidy Hussein has been getting from Britain. The text of that agreement, made public today in Cairo, stipulated that Jordan must use the money for Jordan's armed forces.
