Objections to Michigan's new re lief laws, which will come up for referendum in the November elec tion, were cited by City Attorney George H. DeMund of Albion at a meeting of the Battle Creek Academy oi Medicine a Dentistry last night.

rne meeting, called at the request of Mayor Norman H. Weiner of Al bion, was held in the Sky club with some 30 members of the academy present for dinner and the business session that followed. Mayor Wiener was unable to attend an academy meeting about a month ago. at which State Senator Hale Brake explained the laws and expressed himself as being strongly in favor of them. Because of his position as a county supervisor and consequent interest in the administration of relief, the mayor asked to be allowed to state his opposition to the new laws before the academy.

Again unable to be present last night, Attorney DeMund spoke for him. Mr. DeMund said that in the main the laws are satisfactory but that they do not give enough power to boards of supervisors in the administration of relief. Supervisors, he declared, are fearful that a large bureau of social workers may be set up In Lansing to dominate the situation. At the close of Mr.

DeMund's talk there was considerable open discus sion, during which an academy mem ber asserted that boards of supervisors throughout the state have not handled relief administration In a way that shows sufficient coopers-, tion with the medical profession and that Michigan physicians are in favor of the new laws. Dr. R. C. Wlnslow, academy president, was In charge.

COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD Deland A. Davis, Calhoun county's school commissioner for the last 23 years, said today he would not be a candidate for reelection next year. Mr. Davis explained he was making his decision known now "In order that others interested may have ample opportunity to decide whether they want to run for the office." His present, sixth consecutive term as school commissioner does not expire until July 1, 1939. The office will be filled at the April election in 1939.
