Rival Services Possible At Brooklyn Church
A Supreme Court justice declined to bar Rev. William Howard Melish from leading Sunday services at Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Brooklyn. The decision, about a temporary injunction sought by an anti Melish faction, could allow two ministers to conduct services simultaneously. The vestry recently installed Dr. Herman Sidener as rector after ousting Melish as supply minister, a move that ends Melish’s seven year tenure amid accusations of left wing activity he denies any Communist ties.

Deepening Lake Channels to 27 Feet Under Consideration
The Senate sent to President Eisenhower a 100 million dollar bill to deepen the western Great Lakes connecting channels. If enacted, the project would extend deep draft water from the Atlantic to northern Midwest ports like Duluth by reaching 27 feet through Erie and Lakes Huron Michigan and Superior. Digging would occur in the Detroit River St Clair River Straits of Mackinac Lake St Clair and St Mary's River. Bobolink note appears as a stray definition of the bird name Bob Lincoln.
