King Quits Child Health Council, Claiming Un-
 fair Decisions.

South Norwalk, June 4.-Clarence King of New Canaan, appointed as df- rector of the five-year-old health dem onstration. which is to be run under the auspices of the National Child Health council ot Washington, D. C., has forwarded a request to the coun- cil to be relea sed from his post as director, stating that a point of hon< orr makes 1t imperative that he be released. MT. King stated that his reasons for the request were that he does not feel that the council acted fairly in allowing cities in the east to compete for the site for the demon stration, if in the opinion of the com
 nittee Of selection, Of which Dr. Rich ard A. Bolt of Baltimore, is chairrla n, no city other than one located in the state of Ohio should receive tho dnm- onStration.
 Norwalk was in line for the final selection, and was classed as 100 per cent. in meeting all requirements set forth by the council, but last week received notification by telegram that it had been eliminated as a possibl- ity for the location of the site.
 pr. Bolt had made a visit Of inspec- tion to Norwalk and pronounced it a city that fully met all requirements and that so far as he knew it was the city that would ba selected.
 The committees choice has finally lain between Norwalk, Mansfield and Midd1etown, Ohio, and one Of these three cities is to be chosen. None of the cities, both according to pr. Bolts statements and also to MT. Kings meet the requirements as fully as does Norwalk.
