Election Tension Growing In Poland 'Free' Election Is Scheduled Sunday Editor’s note: United Press staff correspondent Anthony J. Cavendish covered the October upheaval that brought Wladyslaw Gomulka to power in Poland. He then flew to Hungary, walking the last five miles to Budapest to cover the Hungarian rebellion. Back in Warsaw, he tells what is- at stake in Sunday’s Polish elections. By ANTHONY J. CAVENDISH United Press Staff Correspondent WARSAW, Poland (UP)—Tension is rising in Poland on the eve of its first , “free” election since the war. Anti-Communist incidents, have been reported in many major cities. There has been some violence. including one reported lynching. Groups in several parts of the country have threatened to boycott the voting. But the Communists cannot lose this election. The setup is so rigged that the Communists are guaranteed 52 per cent of the vote. The real showdown is between the diehard Stalinists of the 'tough” school of communism and the “liberal” communism of Wladyslaw Gomulka. Western observers fear that if the Stalinists replace Gomulka as a result of the election, Poland might become Hungary all over again. Gomulka, the bald Communist Party secretary, is popular and P,oland does not wish to go the way of Hungary. But very many Pedes are bitterly anti-Communist and will have a chance to show it Sunday. , This anti - communism and the outbreak of incidents could play into the hands of the “tough” Stalinist Communists who want to suppress opposition to the regime. The results are expected to make or break Gomulka, the "Titoist” who came out of a Communist prison to lead the Polish people

to their first taste of freedom since the German invasion of 1939. Observers believe Gomulka must get much more titan the 52 per cent the Communist Party is guaranteed if this is to be considered a true vote of confidence in him. If he fails to get a solid majority—and it is a question whether he will — the Stalinist wing of the party could say, “we told you so” and try to oust Gomulka in a coup. The Stalinists—and the Russians —are just waiting for Gomulka to make a mistake. To Refuel Atomic Submarine Nautilus First Refueling Is Scheduled In Spring WASHINGTON (UP) — The atomic submarine Nautilus is scheduled to be refueled for the first time this spring after sailing more than 55,000 miles in two years on its original load of nuclear power. . w The Navy announced the refueling date Wednesday night on the eve of the anniversary of man’s first propulsion by atomic power two years ago. The Nautilus got underway on nuclear power for the first time Jan. 17. 1955, at Groton, Conn. In the refueling, the uranium core of the Nautilus’ reactor will be removed and a new core of enriched uranium installed. The old core will be sent to a reactor test station at Arco, Idaho, for “examination and to reclaim unused uranium.” This was ta'ken to mean that the Nautilus could have sailed still further without refueling. The Arco test center presumably will test just how much further the original fuel load would have driven the submarine. Edison’s incandescent lamp was 110 watts and had a total efficiency of 1.4 lumens; the modern 50-watt fluorescent tube has an efficiency of 73 lumens per watt.

Minister Preaches Own Funeral Sermon Illinois Elder's Sermon On Record JOHNSTON CITY, 111. (» — Elder Charles M. Weaver of the. Primitive Baptist Church here preaches bis own funeral sermon today. The Rev. Weaver, a minister of the Primitive or "hardshell” Baptist sect for 62 years, died Tuesday at the age of 89 after a heart attack. One of the elder's desires in re-1 cent years was to say the last i words over his own body as a windup to his career. Seven years ago he made preparations for the funeral by putting a 15-minute sermon on a 12-inch record. Weaver’s widow, Alice, and funeral director Roland Murrman arranged to play the record at today’s service. Both have heard the sermon before. Mrs. Weaver said the record is “almost as if he were preaching sotneone else’s funeral.” Weaver started the oration without any introductory remarks and hardly mentioned himself anywhere in the sermon whi<?h runs through both sides of the record. Macmillan Cabinet Setup Completed Expect Sharp Cuts In Defense Spending LONDON (UP)— Prime Minister Harold Macmillan completed formation of his new conservative government today, concentrating on a shakeup in the armed forces as the prelude to expected sharp cuts in defense spending. Macmillan’s second list of ministers, who serve those under the regular cabinet, included a coal miner who will act as supply minister and a bomber pilot as air secretary. The new first lord of the admiralty (secretary of the navy), the Earl of Selkirk, got his only military experience in the army. The new military appointees include the 50-year-old Selkirk as first lord of the admiralty; John Hare, 45, war secretary; George Ward, 49, air secretary, and Aubrey Jones, 45, minister of supply in charge of procurement.. Ward was a wartime bomber pilot who served as air undersecretary under Eden and Sir Winston Churchill. Jones is notable among the aristocratic members of the Macmillan government in that he is a miner’s son who left school at 14 to work in the coal pits. He was Eden’s minister of fuel and power. Macmillan’s final ministerial list dropped a veteran minister of state from the Foreign Office. He is the Marquess of Reading, who had been right-hand man to Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd since 1953, la his_Rlace x . Macmillan appointed David Ormsby Gore, 38, a junior official at the Foreign Office since 1951.

Check Disappears Ai Doctor's Trial British Court Told Evidence Disappears EASTBOURNE, England (UP)— The Eastbourne Magistrates Court was told today a check for $2,800 produced as evidence at the inquest of Mrs. Gertrude Joyce Hullett has “disappeared.” The information was passed to the court as the fourth day of preliminary hearings began in the case of Dr. John Bodkin Adams, charged with murdering at least one of his wealthy patients “for profit.” Adams has been accused by the prosecution of also murdering Mrs. Hullett and her husband, Alfred, although he has not.been formally charged with these deaths. Adams is charged with murdering 81-year-oid Mrs. Edith Alice Morrell five years ago, and the prosecution also alleges he prescribed fatal doses of narcotics for the Hulletts. Two Yard detectives carted off an armload of documents Wednesday night from a pharmacist shop where the doctor ordered narcotics. They apparently impounded the pharmacy records for use as evidence against him. The purpose of the hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to try Adams for murder. Pharmaceutical chemist Elizabeth Temple produced 20 prescriptions today made out for some of Adams' patients who died while under his care. All but one, she said, were in the handwriting of Adams, whom she has known since 1940. The prescriptions covered a period between March 27, 1955 and March 16, 1956. Prosecutor Melford Stevenson told the court a $2,800 check produced at Mrs. Hullett's inquest Aug. 21, 1956, had disappeared. He called two witnesses who testified they had seen the check. Defense counsel Geoffrey Lawrence immediately objected that secondary evidence of a document could not be accepted by the court,

but the five magistrates hearing the case decided to hear the evidence anyway. They ordered Lawrence's objection entered in the record. Smear Campaign On Against Gomulka Die-Hard Stalinists On Smear Campaign WARSAW (UP)—The die-hard Stalinist Communists he kicked from office have launched a smear campaign against liberal Polish , Communist Leader Wldadyslaw Gomulka, according to reports today. The already-tense situation was further intensified by an official admission that anti-S e m it i s m, which Gomulka has fought, was on the rise. Informed sources said the antiGomulka campaign was launched in his own Constituency by the “conservative” element in the Communist Party, formerly known as the “Natolln” group. The group is led by Franciszek Mazur, who was ousted from the Politburo when Gomulka returned to power last October. \ : Anti-social” elements were also reported joining in the campaign __ to smear Gomulka virtually on the eve of the important general elections. Observers agreed there is little doubt Gomulka would retain his teat in the Sejm (parliament) In the Sunday elections. His name tops the list of candidates in the northeast Warsaw district of Praga. In addition his prestige was given a substantial boost by the Sino-Polish communique issued after Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai's visit. The declaration, while recognizing Russia's leadership in world Communist policy, supported Gomulka's stand for an “independent Poland. But the anti-Gomulka drive was seen as an ominous sign of apparent resistance from the “old ! Communists" toward his new “democratized” policy. Trade U. a uoou a oka — Deeatat
