Too Many TorheeIs in North CoroIno
biologists Told How Operation
Creates Substitute Bladder
Part Of Large Intestine, Cut Near Appendix,
Is Made to Take Place of Diseased Orqun

Drs. James w. Merricks. r. K.
Gilchrist, Howard Hamlin and
I. T. Reiger.
DR.. MerrickS, associate professor
of urology at the University of
Illinois Medical School, said the
operation opens the path for more
drastic surgery and makes life
more livable" for patients whose
bladders must be removed, usually
as result of cancer or congenital
defects. 1t has been performed on
six patients, he said. two of them
within the last two weeks.
The usual surgery after bladder
removal, doctors said. is to trans
plant-directly to the large intes-
tine-tubes which normally carry
urine from the kidneys to the
bladder.
In the new operation. an arti-
fetal bladder Is formed by cutting
of a portion Of the large bowel
located near the appendix, and
sewing up its ends to form a pouch.
The tubes from the kidneys are
transplanted to this dead-end
pouch. Also leading from the
pouch IS the ileum, a part of the
small intestine, which is routed to
the outside of the body.
The patient, DR.. Merricks ex-
planned, then is able to empty the
artificial bladder by inserting a
rubber tube through the item
and into the pouch.
A normal valve arrangement,
DR.. Merricks said. prevents leak
age from the pouch into the ileum.
At the same time DR.. Merricks
told the meeting. the main portion
of the small intestine is sewed to
the large bowel, above the portion
removed to form the pouch. This
allows continuation of the normal
function of the intestines.
The doctors also heard four
other scientific papers relating to
their speciality at the opening ses-
sion. A golf outing was scheduled
for this afternoon. with medical
meetings due to continue tomor-
row.
DR.. William P. Herbst, WASH
ington urologist. is chairman of
arrangements for the conference.

Trailing Candidate Has
Two Weeks to Decide;
Returns Nearly Complete
BY the Associofed Press

RALEIGH, N. c., May 29.-An-
other bitter battle between liberal
Senator Frank P. Graham and
Lawyer Willis Smith may face
North Carolina Democrats.
The answer lies with Mr.. Smith,
runnerup to Senator Graham in
S aturday's record breaking
primary balloting. Mr.. Smith
mulled over the question but
wouldn't tell his plans. Because
Senator Graham failed to win a
majority Mr.. Smith has until June
IL to decide whether he wants a
runoff.
Two other senatorial candidates
were eliminated and five Repre-
Sentatives returned to Office. For
mer Senator Robert r. Reynolds,
wartime isolationist, failed in his
comeback effort and ALA Ray
Boyd, pig breeder who constantly
seeks Office, never was in the run
ming.
The winner of the Democratic
primary is assured of victory in
the November general election.
$4,000 Lead for Graham.
Senator Graham, SO, former
president of the University of
North Carolina, had a $4,000 lead
over Mr.. Smith with most of the
votes counted. But he was about
$4,000 votes shy of a majority.
Unofficial returns from 1924 of
the States 1890 precincts gave
Senator Graham 295,342, Mr.
Smith 245,080, Mr.. Reynolds S.
0l9 and Mr.. Boyd 5,665.
That was the answer to the hot
test senatorial campaign in North
Carolina history. And this State
has had some fiery ones.
Opposition to Senator Graham
began IA months ago when Gov
w. Kerr Scott. another liberal, ap-
pointed him Senator. Senator
j. M. Broughton, who had just
taken office, had died unexpect-
edly. The present race is for the
four years remaining of Senator
Broughton's unexpired term.

Miami Crime Inquiry
Centers on Erickson,
Adonis and Costello
Officials Will Discuss
Nationwide Problem at
Public Hearings Here
By Miriom Gutenberg

The names of such reputed
racketeers as Joe Adonis, Frank
Costello and Frank Erickson were
brought out by witnesses during
the secret sessions of the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee in
Miami, Chairman Kefauver dis
closed today.
Senator Kefauver said some OF
the witnesses heard during the
two-day hearings had CLOSE as
sociation with gamblers.
He disclosed that one of the
jobs the committee did while in
Florida was to check the records
of Greenacres, formerly called
the Colonial Inn. These records
he said, disclosed that Erickson
the New York gambler, was one
of the owners. That, he said
matched with the information
seized by New York District At
torney Frank Hogan in a raid
on ErickSon's Offices May 2.
Senator Kefauver announced
the committee will open public
hearings in about three weeks
but not on it's Miami findings
The hearings will feature public
officials in a discussion of Ma
ton wide crime problems.
Florida Findings Assessed.
The Florida haul is still being
assessed.
Downey Rice, assistant commit
tee counsel, and four other former
FBI agents remained in Miami
to make a f1ne-comb investigation
of the account books and other
records taken from the account
ants for gambling clubs.
It was the New York raid on
ErickSon's Park avenue Offices
that prompted the Senators Sc
cret Florida trip. Now they are
ready to appraise the New York
material in the light of the great
deal of information" they accu-
mulated in Florida.
Erickson Hearings Uncertain.
The prospect of public hearings
on the Erickson angle in the near
future still remained dim. The
committee will await the outcome
of New York grand jury investi-
cation of Erickson's activities be-
fore publicly delving into his
acknowledged Nation wide book
making operations.
Meanwhile an anti-gambling
bill aimed particularly at the big
time bookmakers was attracting
the attention of Chairman Nc
Carran of the Senate judiciary
Committee.
Senator Mcfarland. Democrat,
of Arizona, chief sponsor of the
measure cleared by the Senate
Commerce Committee for Senate
action, said he would fight against
referring the measure to any
other groups. He argued the de-
lay would kill 1t for this session.

Heart Failure Cause
OF Prisoner S Death,
Coroner Reports
No Marks of Violence
On Body Of Man Who
Died During Struggle

A District Jail prisoner who
died April 80 during a struggle to
calm him was the victim of acute
congestive heart failure and no
marks of violence were found on
the body. Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald said today in a re-
port to United States Attorney
George Morris Fay.
The report said the body of Ii

humed at Fayetteville, N. c., or
May 7, and that Deputy Coronel

find any sign of violence.

was told to take annual leave
pending a thorough Investigation
ordered by the Commissioners
There had been reports that there
was a scuffle in the Jail involving
Davis and a guard.
Report Goes to Fay.
Coroner Macdonald said the
complete report, including re-
suits of all tests, would be turned
over to Mr.. Fay if he wished to
press an investigation or present
"a case to the grand jury. Nc
comment was available imme-
diately from Mr.. Fay.
The action was taken against
Mr.. Kirkpatrick after Donald
Clemmer, corrections director
disclosed that the guard admitted
placing a towel around Davis
neck "just minute or so" during
the effort to subdue the prisoner
who, he charged. had been unruly
In his report, DR.. Macdonald
said it was impossible to state
whether heart failure had it's in
ception at the time "the patient
was in an excited state or during
and the continuation of the tussle
and the restraint resulting there
from while sedative was being ad-
ministered."
The report seemed to leave un-
clear the point of whether Davis,
said by police to have become
wild and uncomfortable, actually
was administered a sedative by ar
intern. Edward c. Weppner oi
George Washington University
Medical School.

10000 Refugees Fled Graham 50, 900 Ahead
Red Bloc in 7 Months, But Will Face Runoff
|R0 Officials Report II Smith Wants One
Bor to Material Help for
Escapes Laid to Action
By Council Lost Summer
BY the Associated Press

GENEVA, May 29.-Officials o1
the International Refugee Or.
ganization estimated today thai
some 10000 persons have flee
from the Communist countries Of
Eastern Europe during the pas
seven months.
These refugees were theoreti.
cally eligible for IRO aid. the
officials said, but we're excluded
from such aid in practice by q
decision taken by the IRO genera
council last summer.
The council ruled then that
refugees arriving from Eastern
Europe in Germany, Austria and
italy after October Is, 1949, would
receive the IRO's legal protec-
ton, but would not be admitted
to IRO refugee camps or be trans
ported to asylum overseas with
IRO funds.
Aim to Wind Up Work.
The IRO was always intended
to be a temporary organization
to deal with a special postwar
problem, and the general councils
action was largely based on a
desire to check the influx of refu-
gees to permit the IRO to be
wound up by the summer of 1851
The estimated 10000 refugees
who have reached Germany, Aus
tria and Italy since October Is,
1949, the officials said, thus re-
ceived no material assistance from
the IRO. although they were
theoretically entitled to assistance
under the IRO constitution.
The great majority of these
refugees came from Czechoslo-
vakia and from former italian
areas ceded to Yugoslavia under
the Italian peace treaty. the Off
Gals said.
There are very few people COM
ing out of the other satellite coun-
tries any more" one of the Of
f1cials declared.
It was expected that the IRC
would soon ask it's member gov.
ernments-which include none o.
the East European Communist
regimes-to reverse last years de.
ciSion of the general council not
to aid new" refugees.
Need Funds to Go to u. S.
The officials said that if the
United States Congress approved
the second Displaced Persons Act
at present in the committee stage
most of the new refugees would be
entitled to enter the United States
as immigrants.
But a United States entry viss
would be meaningless to them, tht
officials added, if the IRO were no
authorized to provide the fund!
for their transportation to thu
United States.
The officials said, however, thar
some final date for IRO assistance
eligibility would have to be set
to permit the organization to bt
disbanded.
The IRO's director general, Don.
aid Kingsley, embarked on the S. S
America for the United States to.

ton with United States Govern.
