Rosen was the first non-medical
superintendent of a mental institution
in Myichigan. He has served as the past
president of the American Association
for Mental Deficiency and was the first
president of the Lakeland School

HEW sometime next week.
In another development, McGuire
responded yesterday to antaccusation
made by Dr. Womack which refuted

Cohen also announced yesterday he
will name on Monday a new panel to
study the abuse problem at various
nursing homes and old age homes.
Cohen had been asked by Governor
Milliken on Thursday to pick a commit-
tee and was busy evaluating different
possibilities.
