(He does not ven ture an opinion on whether it is safer to be operated on by an honest but poorly qualified sur geon,' or by one who is well quali fied but dishonest). The split fee business is indeed a reprehensible practice, strongly condemned by medical societies, but which persists in spite of such condemnation. The evil lies in the encouragement it gives the medi cal practitioner to turn over cases to a surgeon, and for the latter to operate without adequate exami nation as to the need. Another risk lies in the fact that where a money consideration is involved the first doctor may refer the patient to an inferior surgeon.

DETROIT ( The Presbyterian Church, in an unusual action, Sat- urday unfrocked a 59-year-old min ister on a charge of heresy. The Rev. Claude Williams was convicted of heresy by a special commission of five ministers and four laymen of the Presbyterian" Church of the United States of America. The commission tried William on charges of "heresy and the teaching and preaching of commu nism but it dismissed the cnarge involving communism. Williams, who served as war time industrial chaplain of the presbytery of Detroit, now lives in Helena, Ala. Stands. Unfrocked Williams had been named by Rep. Velde (R-Ill), chairman of the House Un - American Activities Committee, as one of a half dozen ministers who were trying to in filtrate the ministry with Commu nist ideas. The accusation was seconded by J. B. Matthews, then secretary of Sen. McCarthy's Senate Investi gating Committee. Williams said he would appeal the judicial commission's verdict to "the highest courts of this church." During the World War II period, he served as a chaplain working with CIO unions and at tended many union camp meet ings. Said Pro-Red The Rev. Henry J. Walch of Plymouth, Mich., chairman of the judicial commission, said: "In the layman's terms, Mr. Williams stands unfrocked. Our action was one step short of excommunication which would have deprived him of the right to belong to the church." Dr. Walch said the charges of communism against Williams had heen "dismissed on technical!
