The Rev. Mr. Fritchman was formally ousted yesterday by a 17-to-2 vote of the association's board of | directors, climaxing a controversy which has raged since last October when he was exonerated of charges of “proselyting for the Communist cause.” “I don't feel the opposition of 17 directors out of a total of 36 members constitutes a mandate to transform the Christian Register from a 125-year-old journal of free opinion into a house organ for Unitarian public relations, the Rev.
