GoldSpeaks atMeetingBY DAN ICOLARIOn May 21, the 1,200-member Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) held its sixty-fourth annual meeting, which was attended by an estimated 200 people at Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims on Orange & Hicks St.In remarks excerpted from a report he said would be mailed to members in early June, BHA president Edwards F. Rullman discussed problems and issues on which the Association%u2019s two dozen committees have worked for the past year. Among these were the necessity to adapt to changes in policy and personnel under the Beame Administration and its welcomed encouragement of community self-determination; an improved working relationship with Community Planning Board No. 6 and encouragement of and improved liaison with block and tenant organizations.%u201c Brooklyn Heights is in danger of pricing itself out of the brownstone community market,%u201d said Rullman,%u2019%u2019and in this respect its viability is being destroyed by its own success. There is a danger we may become a sort of Upper East Side bedroom community.%u201c But the single most important problem we face,\resolution of the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) hotel problem.%u201d Rullman then outlined the changed economic and social realities faced by the owners of the eight Heights hotels as well as by their residents. The owners of two of these hotels have attempted to deal with these realities by applying for permission to convert to proprietary homes for adults. Rullman described BHA%u2019s response, which has been to press for mixed-use conversion of such buildings as being the best solution-both for the owners and for the Heights community. If this is not done, he said, such proprietary homes can become targets of a%u201c cynical dumping action%u201d by the state, which would prefer to pay less to house mental patients in such homes than maintain them in hospitals. Rullman stated that a BHA-proposed pilot project for the Hotel Bossert would contain, initially, about 50 beds, though BHA feels that a well-run facility containing from 100 to 150 beds would be acceptable.In a related announcement, Rullman told the audience that the results of a survey of the Heights elderly coordinated jointly by the Heights and Hill Comunity Council and the Brooklyn Heights Association will be published next week.Other items covered in the president%u2019s talk were the disposition of Block 207, with a recap of the BHA-approved Knights of Pythias elderly housing proposal; BHA action on the Fulton Ferry and waterfront area, noting the possible relocation of the International longshoremen%u2019s parking lot to Block 205 (Squibb Hill) to accommodate development.In closing, Rullman mentioned the BHA would also be attempting to project a more accurate image of itself while trying to boost its membership.Brooklyn District Attorney Eugene Gold was guest speaker for the annual meeting. His talk on participatory democracy was fairly abstract, but it contained enorinously quotable phrases, such asState Senator Carol Bellamy [r] was among those who attendedthe 64th annual meeting of the Brooklyn Heights Association onTuesday evening, May 21, at Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims.[Richard Solomon Photo]his appeal to %u201c speak out when others remain silent,%u201d and his contention that %u201c the most serious crime is silence.%u201dAfter Gold's talk, meeting chairman William H. Hazen called for questions from the audience. Gold affirmatively responded to a question on the need for an independentbody to review judges in advance ot election or appointment, and said that such a body should be empowered to censure, punish and remove judges as well. Noting that New York City%u2019s Mayor can appoint judges to the Criminal Court %u201c at whim,%u201d Gold said there should be a screening process in advance of the CONTINUED ON PAGE l(,Reformers ToPick CandidateBY DANICOLARIReform Democrats in the old 14th Congressional District must choose a candidate to run against the indefatigable Congressman John Rooney (among other regulars interested in the post), even though their choice is for a district that will not exist as of May 29.On that date, the New York State Legislature is expected to approve lines redrawn under federally-mandated reapportionment designed to reflect the area%u2019s minority population. Reformers attempted on May 20 to solve these problems by creating the Reform Caucus, a confederation of reform clubs and reformers in neighborhoods where no reform clubs exist.The Caucus will be holding meetings June 3 to 9 in the 14th C.D. communities; 50 per cent of these will take place at existing community forums in neighborhoods where there is no reform club. It is hoped that the Caucuswill speak for reform Democrats district-wide and that, because of substantial minority representation on its credentials committee, will accurately reflect the preferences of minority residents. If it works, this may be the way reform candidates are selected in future races that overlap areas covered by essentially neighborhood clubs.Prior to the formation of the Caucus, members of the Carroll Gardens reform Independent Neighborhood Democrats responded to a PHOENIX Poll of its membership. The following tallies for Congress resulted: Sam Beard, 17 votes; Donald Elliott, 11; Priscilla Rassin, 7; Cesar Perales, 1; 37 were undecided. For female district leader, Marcella Connor received 16 votes; Nancy Wolf received 5; and 50 were undecided.IND members were asked the question, %u201c If Assemblyman Michael L.
