PLEDGES PROGRESSIVE
GROUP TO RIGHT LAWS
La Guordio Says Direct Pri-
mary and Equal Taxes Aims.

The new progressive group in the next
Congress has the power and the will to
block any attempt atVicious legislation
and to promote and pass the right kind
of laws. according TO Congressman-elect
Fiorello La Guardia In his address de-
1ivered last night before the members
of the Institutional Synagogue, 81 West
116th street. La Guardia told his au-
dience that the formation OF the pro
gressive group" under the leadership of
Senator LaFolette or Wisconsin. was
the result of the growing dissatisfaction
Of the people with partisan politics
The direct primary, he said. Is one OF
the foremost points for which the pro-
gressive group in Congress intends to
aght. Another point which will be a
subject for the groups consideration will
be taxation. and an effort will be made
70 distribute its burden more evenly. he
said. MIR. La Guardia attacked the old
guard and the straightened lines OF par
tisan politics. He cited the elections of
1920 and this year as outstanding ex-
amples OF the fact that the majority
OF voters are awakening and casting a
more progressive and intelligent ballot
than ever before. He urged the cleaning
of both political parties so that the
American people may be voting for and
not against.

GLEN COVE CHURCH
TROUBLE AT CRISIS
Bishop Burgess Likely to Be
Called In, as DR.. Holland
Refuses to Resign.

Following the announcement Satur-
day of Dr. James S. Holland that he
would not resign as rector of st. Paurs
Episcopal Church at Glen Cove. L. l..
1t is probable that the Right Rev.
Bishop Frederick Burgess Will take ac-
ton soon regarding the differences that
have existed In the parish for more
than year.
At the time the rector refused to re-
sign the vestrymen sent in their resig-
natiors to Bishop Burgess with the
provision that they were binding only
If the rector also resigned. This action
came after a conference a week ago
Saturday, at which Bishop Burgess
talked with the members of the vestry
and the rector in the parish house in
Glen Cove.
About q year ago the attendance be-
gan to fall off so that the choir was
disbanded and the Sunday school closed
and since then volunteer orgapist has
served at the Sunday services. which
have been attended by few persons.
According to report Or. Holland, who
came to the church from Yonkers about
three years ago. had difficulty with
the vestry, the organist and the choir.
At that time the church numbered
among it's congregation some of the
wealthiest families in that section OF
Long Island.
Over the telephone last night DR., Hol-
land said he would not be interviewed.
Efforts to reach Bishop Burgess were
fruitless. One vestryman. however. SAID
that either the standing committee OF
the Episcopal Diocese of Long lsland,
which will meet In Brooklyn next Mon
day. or Bishop Burgess would be asked
to take action.
In a letter sent out three weeks ago
to his congregation DR.. Holland pointeo
out the poor financial condition " the
church and intimated that something
must he done to straighten out its debts.
