District police were inclined to
agree. Teamed with Federal

hang out on street corners. Three
soldiers from Walter Reed Hos
pital and two from Fort McNair
were among those picked up.

PENDANTS in their teens. Most of
the others were young lnen and
women. In addition to the 81
seized under the warrants, 10
other men and women, including
two teen-age girls, were either
held for investigation or on open
charges pending further inquiry.
Only small amounts of drugs,
mostly heroin, were seized here,
according to Thomas J. Andrews,
in charge of the local Federal
Narcotics Bureau.
Confiscated also were hypoder-
mic needles, marijuana cigarettes,
some packed into regular Gig
arctic containers. and materials
for making the illegal cigarettes.

The heroin was said to have
been peddled at Walter Reed Hos

MeIish Is Rejected
By Brooklyn Bishop
BY N. Assoeioi.d Pres.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-The Rev
William Howard Melish has beer
rejected as rector of Brooklyni
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
it was learned yesterday.
Rejection came from Bishop
James p. De Wolfe of the Lonf
Island Episcopal diocese after the
Rev. Mr.. Melish's name was sub
mitted following his election By
the vestry.
Mr.. Melish's father. DR.. John
Howard Melish. was ouSted as
rector of the same church in 194e
for refusing to drop his son as
assistant rector.
The younger Mr.. Melish had
been accused of left-wing activi-
ties. including the chairmanshir
lof the National Council of Amer
ican Soviet Friendship. The
council has been listed as SUBJ
Iversive by the United States At
COrney General.
The older Melish fought his
custer up to the United States
Supreme Court, which declined to
review the case.
Recently. a pro-Melish vestry OF
the church elected young Mr.
MeliSh as rector. Mr.. Melish and
his family live at the church
parish house.
OF his custer, the younger Mr.
Melish said that since ''it is a
matter between the vestry and
the Bishop I would prefer to re-
main in the background"
Bishop De Wolfe was out OF
town last night and could. not be
reached for comment.

Meat Prospects Dark Now
And May Be Worse in So
by the Assoeiated Press

Contrary to hopes, the Nation
will get little more meat this yeal
than it did in 1951-because Of
dwindling feed grain supplies
and prospects are even worse fol
1858.
The Agriculture Department
yesterday estimated that reserves
Of such grains-corn, oats, barley
and grain sorghums-will drop to
Is million tons by next October
l. That is about 10 million tons
below last October l.
With feed scarce. farmers quit
raising livestock. Hence, the de-
partment said, meat supplies are
not expected to top last years

u. 5. Said 10 Favor
Threat Of Invasion
To BuIWark Truce
Would Include Warming
Of Attack on Red China
In Event of Violation
BY Elton c. Fay

The United States is described
as believing any truce made with
Communist China and Kores
should carry with it warning thai
Ia violation would bring air-nava
punishment on Red China herself
The Government was reported
in well-informed circles to be ad.
vising the other Allies in the Ko.
rean war that it thought such al
implied ultimatum should bulwarl
the provisions of any armistice.
In proposing that definite meas.
|ures be set up to discourage re.
newed aggression by the Asiatit
Communist satellite nations, tn.
United States appears to be max.
ing no new demands for the actua
truce terms under negotiation a.
Panmunjom. It seeks only tt
guarantee their observance.
Big Goal is Prisoner Exchange.
Primary interest of the United
States, as evidenced in develop.
ments at Panmunjom during re.
cent weeks, Is to bring about ths
return under an exchange plan o1
all United Nations prisoners.
To obtain this, some persons ir
well informed positions thought
the United States might make Ger.
tain concessions, although They
veered away from talking in detail
about such possibilities. ~
An issue at Panmunjom has
been the Allies contention that
some form of supervision and in.
spection must be established tt
assure that terms of an armistice
are observed. Directly related tt
this is the objection of the Com.
munists to a ban on building new
alrdromes in North Korea.
What the United States is re.
ported to be proposing is this:
II, after a truce was agreed to
Communist forces should seek tt
cross the truce line for a renewed
aggressive strike at free South
Korea, punitive measures shoulc
be instituted promptly against thu
present Chinese sanctuary.
Wouldn't Use A-Weapons.
There would be no effort to pu
ground forces ashore for invasio,
Of the Chinese mainland. No
would atomic weapons be invoked
But Red China's ports, wa,

would be clamped on her, with

Communist China already ha,
paid in high casualties and heavy
losses of equipment to carry out
the master plan of Soviet Russia
for aiding the North Koreans. But
her. materiel losses on the Korear
battlefield could become only 9
fraction of what she would LOSE

The United States has mustered

require no heavy increase in sizs
