Brooklyn Church Asks
Bishop 10 Remove
MeIish as Rector
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The vestry
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church
OF the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, has
moved to force its rector's resigna-
ton because he will not remove his
son as assistant rector.
The rector is the Rev. John How
ard Melish. whose son, the Rev.
William Howard Melish, is chairman
of the Council of Soviet American
Friendship.
The vestry has asked the Bishop
of Long Island to request the elder
Mr.. Melish's resignation. The
Bishop alone, under church rules,
can dissolve the tie between the
church and rector.
A spokesman for the vestrymen
said they first asked the rector to
retire last May, then voted, 9 to /,
on January II to appeal to the
episcopate if he would not retire.
The spokesman said the younger
Mr.. Melish's activities had caused
dlssension" in the parish and that
they took the very distressing" step
of asking the fathers removal be-
cause there is no other way to
solve this problem"
He said the vestry's position was
that Of the "old parishioners." He
said it had been supported by a
majority of replies to an inquiry
last May, but that since then new
elements had been brought into the
parish.
DR.. Melish and his son refused
comment, but an editorial in "The
Churchman," with which they have
been associated, calls the vestry's
move shocking news"
The Churchman, a nonoficial
organ in the denomination, defends
the younger Mr.. Melish's association
with the Soviet American group,
which Attorney General Clark lists
as "subversive' organization.
The editorial, to appear in the
Forthcoming issue, says the organ
ization's efforts to avert a third
world war through fostering under
standing with the Soviet Union has
embarrassed the members of the
Vestry."

Appeals Court Hears
EisIer Plea Today

Gerhart Eisler, reputed former
main link between the Kremlin and
American Communists, figures in a
United States Court of Appeals hear
ing today, while another of his legal
battles is pending in the Supreme
Court.
The Court of Appeals will listen to
lqral arguments in his effort to avoid
% l-to-3year prison sentence, i'm
posed after his District Court con-
viction. He was found guilty in 1947
of making fraudulent statements in
applying for an alien exit permit
in 1945.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile.
has agreed to review another District
Court conviction on which Eisler was
fined $1,000 and sentenced to a year
In jail for contempt of Congress. He
was charged with having refused to
be sworn in and testify before the
House Committee on American
Activities in February, 1947 The
Court OF Appeals last June upheld
the District Court conviction.
Eisler, now held at Ellis Island,
also faces deportation proceedings.
In answer to Eislers appeal to be
heard today, the Government con-
tends he fraudulently wrote in his
exit permit application that he had
no present or former connection with
Communist or Communist front
groups.
Eisler contends the District Court
here lacked jurisdiction because the
alleged offenSe did not occur here
and that he was denied fair trial.
He also asserts the alleged misstate-
ments were not material to a deci-
sion by the State Department as to
whether he should be allowed to re-
turn to his native Germany. Eisler
came to the United States in l941.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.AA young
couple, asked to choose between
probable death or blindness for their
two children, have decided blindness
is better.
AS a result. surgeons yesterday
removed both eyes of 11-month-old
Michael Goldstein and one eye from
his 2l2 -year-old sister Karen. Both
were reported doing very nicely
today.
Surgeons of the Presbyterian Hos
pitfalls Institute of Ophthalmology

cancerous eye condition called re-
tino-blastoma. They hope x-ray
treatment will prevent spread of
the same disease to Karen's other
eye.
The decision was all the more
difficult for the children's father
Abe Goldstein, 30, veteran of 3h
years war service in the Pacific.
The hospital said he was afflicted
with the same condition as child

Offset Tax EXEMPTION

A drive was under way by eight
national organizations today to have
Congress remove unfair burdens
on the District and other communi-
ties by equalizing Federal payments
to make up. for local revenue losses
from tax exemption of Government
owned real property.
The National Association of
County Officials announced that at
a meeting in the Lafayette Hotel
yesterday the organizations called
for enactment of legislation estab-
fishing fair standards and uniform
ity and regularity of Federal re-
endorsement to States and local
governments in lieu of taxes and to
bring about substantial equity be-
tween local and Federal taxpayers
with respect to Federally owned real
property"
Other groups at the conference
were the American Municipal Asso-
citation, Council of State Govern
mentS. Municipal Finance Officers
Association. National Education AS
sociation, Natural Resources Depart
ment Of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, National Forestry
Association and National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards.
Keith w. Seegmiller, director OF
the county officials association, pre-
sided. He read messages from the
Municipal Law Officers Association
and the National Association of Tax
Administrators indorsing such legis-
lation.
The conference gave special con-
sideration to two pending congress
sional resolutions Endorsed by the
association. These provide for Fed
eral payments in lieu of taxes to
local governments, including the
District. The payments would be
equivalent to the tax yield on the
Federally owned property If such
property were privately owned and
taxable.
The District was cited as having
a special revenue problem because
of the extent of Federal-owned real
property.
Speakers noted that the Federal
Government now owns one-fourth of
the total area of the country. Most
of this is tax-eXempt despite 46
separate provisions of law providing
for payments in lieu of taxes in as
many specific and isolated circum-
stances" they said. In some locali-
ties the Federal Government owns
as much as 80 per cent of the total
real property, they added.
This situation has disrupted the
tax bases of local governments and
has imposed an unfair burden on
the remaining real property which is
taxable organization spokesmen
said. Because of such revenue linn
itations, local governments have be-
come more and more dependent
upon the Federal Government finan-
cially and more and more the pow
ers of Government have followed
the purse to Washington"
