OSIUS PULLS OUT
OF REGENCY RACE
Fears Local Split Might Endan
ger DetrOit's Representation
on Board

George Osius has decided to with
draw as candidate for a place on the
board OF regents Of the University OF
Michigan. In formal statement he
says his action is In the interest OF
political harmony and TO conserve a
position TO Wayne county on the
board. Mr.. Osius is president of the
village of Crosse Pointe Shores. He
served on the public library commits
sion for 13 years. The Detroit candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for regent are F. B. Leland, at present
member of the board, and DR.. Guy
l.. Kiefer.
Mr.. Osius' statement follows:
"On account of complications that
have arisen In the political situation
] have concluded to withdraw my can
didacy for the Office. A split in the
Wayne county delegation might lose
to Detroit its privilege OF naming two
OF the university regents.
However. | am well convinced that
an experienced business man, not a
graduate of the university, would be
OF good service and advantage to the
board. am grateful to my many
friends who encouraged me to aspire
to this high honor and appreciate the
support they have given me"
